    Ashley Rohrback, a previous personal trainer, didn’t just land a job in medical device sales, she carved her path through determination, strategy, and a mindset most people overlook.

Whether you're doubting yourself or just looking for a playbook to follow, Ashley’s story proves it's possible with the right approach.

    Key Takeaways (Conversational Style, No Emojis or Bullets)

    • Your background doesn’t have to be perfect, just learn how to position your story with clarity and confidence.
    • Use LinkedIn intentionally. Don't just connect. Start conversations, follow up, and tailor your approach to each rep or manager.
    • Preparation wins. Record your mock answers, watch yourself back, and build confidence by doing reps like it’s a workout.
    • Rejection is part of the process. Don’t take it personally. You will get more No’s than Yes’s. Just keep improving and pushing forward.
    • Staying consistent and coachable will take you further than experience alone.

  • What I Wish I Knew Before Starting In Medical Device Sales!

    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.
