Kendy Elmore is the founder of The Lobby Medical Sales Network, a nationwide online community that connects reps through networking, mentorship, and career growth opportunities. He talks about building community, staying consistent when no one’s watching, and why the relationships you build today might unlock doors years down the line. If you’re thinking long game in this industry, Kendy’s story will change how you approach the process.

Key Takeaways

• Your dream role probably won’t show up in month one. Stay consistent with your outreach, your networking, and your mindset, even when no one is responding.
• The more reps you put in now, the more leverage you’ll have later. Opportunities open up when preparation and timing collide.
• Don’t just connect, contribute. Add value when you network. Show up with something helpful or interesting, not just a pitch.
• Invest in relationships without expecting something in return. The people who remember you are the ones you didn’t try to sell to right away.
• Build your own brand while you’re job hunting. Whether it’s content, conversations, or just showing up authentically, your name should mean something before you walk into an interview.
• The Lobby Medical Sales Network can be a solution for reps who feel stuck trying to network alone. It gives you direct access to a supportive community, real conversations, and connections that actually lead somewhere.

If you’ve made it to the final rounds of medical device sales interviews but keep falling short, this episode is for you. The three biggest mistakes that are quietly costing candidates the job, even those who look great on paper. From the way you show up to how you handle pushback, these are the things hiring managers notice but never tell you.

Key Takeaways:

• Know the company before the interview. Do more than 10 minutes of research; check their products, mission, and who you’re meeting with.
• Treat every call, coffee, or quick chat like it’s an interview. Professionalism always counts. Show up in a suit and be ready.
• If you're told, “You don’t have experience,” don’t agree and fold. Instead, acknowledge the concern and reframe it with what you do bring to the table.
• Politeness isn’t a winning strategy in this industry. Confidence wins. That means being clear, assertive, and not afraid of a little confrontation.
• Don't wait to be picked. Make companies want to pick you. Show them you’ve done the job before getting hired by taking ownership, following up, and standing out.
• If you're still not getting results after months, stop wasting time and start getting real help. Six months of “trying” doesn’t beat someone who breaks in in six weeks with the right plan.

He had zero sales or clinical experience, but in just 6 weeks, Jack Pirozzi went from unfulfilled in commercial real estate to landing a role at one of the biggest medical device companies in the country. He talks about how he made the leap, what mindset shifts made the biggest difference, and why purpose, not paychecks, is what drives lasting success. This episode is for the person that is unsure of what to do with themselves for a career, saw medical device sales, and thought they don't have the experience companies are looking for.

Key Takeaways

• Be ready to move fast when opportunity knocks. Jack flew out for an interview 3 days after getting a call.
• If you're not fulfilled in your current job, don’t ignore it. That lack of purpose is telling you something.
• Believing in yourself comes before ability. If you don’t think you belong, no one else will either.
• Focus on what you do bring to the table. Not what you’re lacking.
• Don’t wait for things to be perfect. Start now, commit, and keep going even when results don’t show up immediately.

She broke into medical device sales, moved across the world, and now she’s navigating the UK healthcare system.

This is for the person curious about what it takes to leap into a new career and a new country.

Key Takeaways:

• Network with intention by reaching out to actual reps and hiring managers on LinkedIn, not just clicking apply.
• Expect to feel overwhelmed in your first year. It’s normal, and pushing through it is part of the process.
• Treat every person in the clinic like they matter, because they do. Secretaries and MAs can be your biggest allies.
• Focus on helping patients first; the money will follow when your purpose is in the right place.
• If you ever get a chance to work abroad, go for it. You’ll grow professionally and personally in ways you can’t imagine.

Jacob talks with Charles Studer, a former nurse who transitioned into medical device sales with one of the largest med device companies in the world. They discuss going from nursing to sales, overcoming fear of change, finding fulfillment outside of traditional healthcare roles, why nurses make great clinical specialists, relocating for career goals, choosing the right med device path based on personality, the difference between associate and clinical roles, and why you’re not throwing your degree away by changing directions.

Key Takeaways:

1. Your healthcare background isn’t wasted when you move into medical device sales. It’s actually what gives you an edge if you know how to use it.
2. If you’re feeling unfulfilled, stuck, or like you were meant for more than clocking in and out, it’s okay to explore a different path.
3. You don’t need to go back to school or rack up more debt to make a meaningful career change. You just need a strategy and support.
4. The clinical specialist route is perfect for people who still want patient interaction but want more autonomy and variety in their day.
5. Fear is normal when you make a career jump, but being uncomfortable is part of what makes you grow and hit new levels.
6. Find a mentor, and surround yourself with people who get it. Don’t let coworkers or friends hold you back with their own fear or judgment.
7. Success in this field isn’t just about credentials. It’s about doing the work, staying consistent, listening, and being coachable.
