A Dynamic Journey In Robotics Medical Device Sales With Valerie Davis

We have another special guest and she goes by the name of Valerie Davis. Who is Valerie Davis? She is a mom, an outdoorswoman, and a family woman that happens to be a medical sales professional. She works in the space of augmented reality in orthopedics. Need I say more? I know your curiosity has been piqued. I know you are reading this and saying, “I want to know more about that augmented reality in orthopedics and how this woman is making these things happen.” This is going to be a treat to read. It’s so nice to bring cutting-edge technology to the forefront and share it with you all. Tune in, enjoy the episode, and as always, thank you for reading. I do hope you enjoy this interview.

Valerie, how are we doing?

I’m good. How about you?

I am fantastic. No complaints. Why don’t you tell the audience who you are and what you do?

My name is Valerie Davis. I’m working in the orthopedic space. I’m working on the technology integration side, so I’m working with any augmented reality, robotic, and technology integration that we have with joint replacements. It has been a passion of mine for a long time.

You can’t say augmented reality, joint replacement, virtual anything and not probably have piqued everyone’s interest right now that’s reading. Can you tell us what that space means and address it from someone that doesn’t even know the industry? They hear about things like, “I want to be a robotics medical device rep or I want to work with those goggles.” To give us a reality here, what’s the actual role, and what’s happening?

It’s evolving so quickly that it’s become such a standard in everything we do now, both in video games and technology for my kids and their schools, all the way up to surgery and training and remote telepresence options for people wanting to do more. One of the biggest things to learn is that augmented reality is something that’s augmenting the current reality that you’re seeing. The reality that you’re in, you’re not often some cartoon world where you’re not in the live space that’s in front of you.

You’re still able to see. That’s the standard. It’s a Microsoft HoloLens. There are a lot of different lenses out there that are allowing immersive touch into the world that you’re in currently. If somebody’s wearing a goggle, you can still see the table. You can still interact with everything with a screen, much like your phone or your TV superimposed over that live world.

Virtual reality, one of the standards, to drop a name, is Osso VR. Everybody’s heard of Osso VR that’s in the medical device space currently. They’re using an off-the-shelf model of the Oculus. It’s now rebranded as Meta. They’re using the goggles piece to immerse you into a world that is a digitized, very realistic fake world. You’re able to immerse yourself into training technology or real-life situations inside a world that exists in a goggle where you’re not interacting with the world around you.

In your position, you’re dealing with both or augmented?

We’re doing both. We are integrating augmented reality with live surgical cases. We do have training opportunities with our virtual reality and then robotics. The good old fashioned that feels now, even though it was new not too long ago, robotics, where you have a physical robot that’s interacting with the surgical space.

Let’s talk about the different sales reps in these spaces for those that are reading that either want to transition to something like this or they’re not even in the industry and they want to get into medical sales and they’ve always thought they’ve been drawn to robotics. There’s a sales rep that sells the actual device, the robot itself. Are there sales reps that sell the virtual equipment, like the goggles and things like that?

There are a lot of different spaces and ways to get into this world. There are capital reps. Those are people that historically would’ve sold hospitals or sold surgery centers. It’s the device itself, like a big robot, whatever disposables that go along with it, and items that might be used on a one-off case-by-case basis. As it’s evolved, I feel like you’re starting to see some overlap between people who maybe are doing with companies who have both.

They have a robotic piece or a capital expenditure piece and say a joint replacement. It’s the metal that goes into the patient. There’s starting to be some overlap there, but there’s still standalone a bit. Once you get into the augmented reality and the virtual reality space, it starts to become software-based. What happens is a company who maybe customizes solutions, so say we’ll use Osso VR because our current company uses it. We contact them or they contact us.

We decide that this is a system we would like to use to either train our reps or our surgeons and use it as a sales tool to demonstrate our procedures. They sell the product to us and then our clinical team works with their software and engineering team to develop the solution in tandem. We own the product and brand it as if it’s ours. There is a couple of different ways.

In terms of augmented reality and different solutions that are out there, bigger companies might be either purchasing smaller companies that have already developed augmented reality solutions or smaller companies are working as distributors for companies that already have products that exist. There are a lot of different avenues to work with, either a small company or a big company that can incorporate solutions into surgery and day-to-day operations.

From your position, you’re managing all of these different relationships?

I’m working on the integration of all of these technologies that we’re using into the field. We work with the distributor network, unlike some of the bigger companies that have a maybe direct-to-corporation set of reps that are selling. We work with multiple distributorships that have different things in their bag that they’re carrying on a day-to-day basis in different specialties. I work with them and with our internal team being fluent in all of the technology aspects that we have.

You were a rep once and now, you’re in a leadership position and you’re managing reps. You’re managing different departments within the company that are helping these reps. You’re managing everything that has to happen between the account and the rep and all the in-between. What would you say is the biggest difference as far as being a performer? Think back to when you were a rep and you were performing. Think to now and what performance looks like. What’s the biggest shift that you had to take on?

I feel like I’ve been doing this for a while. I got in obviously pretty early and back then, it was about mastering what the procedure was and covering that to the best of your ability. That scaled as you worked with either busier surgeons or busier areas or what your strengths were as a rep, but you were responsible for your performance.

You’re like, “If I have my day organized and my act together, then that’s what I’m responsible for.” Is my day-to-day going well? Once you start to scale up and get a bigger footprint that you’re managing or responsible for, you start to have to see the bigger picture and everybody’s day needs to be together or helping on a bigger scale. You’re helping more surgeons, more reps, more day-to-day, more geography, and making sure that those day-to-day operations are going on a bigger scale.

MSP 130 | Robotics Medical Device Sales
Robotics Medical Device Sales As a rep you are responsible for your own performance But once you scale into a managing responsibility you need to see the bigger picture and look at everything in a bigger scale

 

When you were a performing rep and you saw a rep that maybe, as you so eloquently put it, doesn’t have their stuff together, I’m sure you had some feelings and you had some thoughts on what issue differently and what have you. In your position now, has that changed?

It hasn’t changed. There are certainly people in general in life and we’ve all experienced the people who are more driven and the people who maybe are doing the least amount possible. Over the years that I’ve been doing this, I feel like the people who work harder are the ones that are still here. You start to phase out people. On the other side of that coin is as the pace starts to drop, maybe, for the people who were the grinders of the previous world, they maybe are getting into other avenues because maybe they’re getting paid more to do a little bit less finally. It’s a catch-22 in this industry.

[bctt tweet=”The people who work harder are the ones that are still here.” via=”no”]

Let’s go back because everybody wants to know. Take us back to college. You were about to enter the business market or the working market. Tell us what did you study in college? How about that?

I was pre-Med at Michigan State University. I did a Kinesiology Emphasis with Physiology because I didn’t want to Major in Biology and have to become a teacher or something like that. I didn’t see myself doing that long-term. In college, I worked in the Strength and Conditioning Department, so I worked with them. I trained on the football team, a meathead in the gym.

I’ve always come to the fitness and medical fork in my life and in my career. It is a precursor to orthopedics, which we’ve already alluded to I work in currently. From there, out of college, I couldn’t decide exactly what I wanted to do immediately. Do I go to PT school? Do I go to PA school? I needed to get some experience if I was going to go to PA school.

Clinically, I didn’t see myself going right into med school. I didn’t see myself continuing to work in the college athletic scene from a strength and conditioning perspective. It was fun and engaging at the time, but I didn’t see myself long-term. Everybody always asks you, “Do you see yourself in five years?” I’m like, “No. I’m not still doing this at the same place.” I took a little bit of what most people would see as a blip in my resumé. I had been bartending through college. The actual pays-the-bills job versus the internship hours in the weight room.

I used to house-sit for somebody that I worked with while she was down in the Caribbean doing business. I went down to Saint Croix, the US Virgin Islands, and got licensed in real estate. I worked as an assistant in Saint Croix, US Virgin Island. I learned a ton about finances. I grew up in Michigan, not in an affluent area. I was from a single-parent family. I didn’t learn about investing in that. It was great for me to get immersed in that immediately. From there with a small island culture, the word got out quickly that I used to work in fitness and in medicine.

By then, I was already an EMT and so I got recruited. The oil refinery down there needed EMTs that could work full-time. The way the island worked is like you were either a government employee working as an EMT or you could work for this refinery. You couldn’t do both. You could do part-time, but they needed full-time people.

I took a job as an EMT inside an oil refinery. Everybody always asks me if I was like on a rig, like out in the ocean. It was an on-land refinery. Extremely long story short, I worked as an EMT for a long time and got to do rescue, high angle rescue, confined space rescue, and cutting cars open. It was an exciting, fun way to do everything because while I was down there, I got to race for the triathlon team and in cycling. My combination of sports and medicine kept going. I came to my normal fitness medical fork and was like, “It’s time for me to either go to PA school or do what my next step is.”

That’s where medical sales came in.

Not quite. I got to give you one more step to understand how medical sales came. From there, I traveled to Seattle for a long time. Apparently, I only make big moves. Michigan, Saint Croix, Seattle. I had traveled there a lot. I had decided that I want to go to the University of Washington PA school. Most people, if you’ve researched PA school at all, you know that the cycle opens up in April every year. You have to take the test. You have to go through all of that.

I moved in April and established residency and got a job at an orthopedic practice for my athletic training background and all of that. I had experience, so I could do all the casting and the orthopedic tech job. I had a real job relevant, gaining clinical paid hours to get into PA school while that next cycle came around and I established residency.

That was on the East side of Seattle. I worked there for a year, got to jump into surgery, and got to learn a lot more about joint replacement. I got to be the gatekeeper for the reps coming in to talk to my surgeons. It was a 13-surgeon practice at the time and now it’s like 22 surgeons in practice. I was the gatekeeper for the reps. I became that and my surgeon did not like reps coming into his practice.

You got a whole flavor of reps.

I was the one that was giving them my cell phone number like, “You need to text me before you show up here because this is not going to happen.” I got to experience that coming in with DME, coming in with sports medicine, and coming in with that. I observed surgeries with one of the joint replacement surgeons and I was like, “Who’s this person telling the surgeon step by step what to do? I want to know more about this role.”

I started talking to the reps. I started talking to the Biomed reps. I started talking to Pacific Medical, which was the big DME rep at the time. They had a lot of sports medicine, allografts, and stuff like that. I started talking to all of them. I didn’t find the right fit right away because they were like, “You can be a DME rep. You can start here.” I’m like, “I’m a little past bringing ankle braces to the clinics,” and then enter MAKO Surgical.

One of the surgeons at my practice started doing MAKO cases. He had to commute to Seattle to do it because they were the only hospital that had a robot at the time. He was like, “Why don’t you check this out? Your clinical experience lines up with it. I know they’re hiring and go from there.” That was how I got my first shop with MAKO Surgical.

I escalated quickly because, at the time, they were looking for people that could sell the robot. Those people aren’t necessarily the right fit clinically to be in the OR and to help people learn about taking people through a range of motion, stressing the joints, and balancing only partial knees at the time and then eventually hip and then total knee.

How long ago was this?

That was December of 2011. January 2012 is when I started with that. It was a long time ago.

So much has happened since then. Give us your take on how challenging it is to get into this industry now from years ago to what you see now.

Fortunately, I had access to a lot of people, the reps. I feel like that part has stayed the same. That’s maybe the one piece that is easier. If you find fill-in-the-blank company rep X, Y, or Z and they seem personable on LinkedIn, they’re probably going to take a message from you. You can probably reach out. I encourage that. Just about anybody I’ve seen on your show is like, “Message me. Introduce me. Let me know if you heard from me.”

That’s an important step that maybe didn’t exist before. That’s one piece where I’ll say that maybe it was harder back then, but then now I would say that maybe it’s known more as a career path. It’s been glamorized across certain aspects as a, “Look at me. I’m in sales. Anybody can do it.” I’m not saying anybody can’t, but they’re sure competitive and doing it immediately out of college. That’s not the right fit for everybody.

MSP 130 | Robotics Medical Device Sales
Robotics Medical Device Sales Sales has been glamorized in certain aspects as something that anybody can do But its not the right path for just everybody

 

Depending on the path, the company, and where you had, both in street credibility with surgeons, physicians, and busy physicians that you’re working with. Fast forward to that, access to physicians and getting into offices. Gone are the days that you show up at a scrub sink. Not that’s ever been my style because of my history and working in a practice and seeing what it looks like and seeing the, “Can you read the room? We are busy.”

That’s never been my style but gone are the days of taking the time to insert an awkward elevator pitch. That piece takes the right personality and knowing the right people. It takes a lot of grit to stay motivated and to understand that you need to grind a little bit before you’re going to get to the point where you’re making decisions about your own career. Be willing to move, to relocate, and to put in to move up.

[bctt tweet=”That’s be willing to move, be willing to relocate, and be willing to put in the work to move up. ” via=”no”]

Let’s jump back into history. You were a specialist for eight years.

It ebbed and flowed a little bit. Stryker acquired MAKO back in 2013. I started in Seattle. I relocated to Northern California prior to the acquisition due to some personnel changes and the amount of volume coming from Northern California. We couldn’t put somebody new here in terms of who was covering. I had already relocated to Northern California when Stryker acquired MAKO.

For me, that was a big culture change from MAKO to Stryker. It was fine. I still have great relationships with all my Stryker counterparts. I fit in. I fit into the bro culture. I fit into the polo shirt, bench press, and weight room culture and I love it. I love these guys, specifically Northern California. I absolutely love these guys and love working with them, but not everybody did. It was an interesting dynamic shift with the culture between MAKO and Stryker as it absorbed it.

There were two silos. When Stryker acquires people, they bring them in and then figure out how the organization’s going to work after. For us, there was a separate MAKO silo essentially, but I worked very collaboratively with my Northern California counterparts. I got absorbed in quickly because we didn’t want to risk losing me and me losing them and any disconnect. I became a rep essentially on paper, still managing the MAKO but also learning about the joint replacement side of the business manually because, at this point, I had no exposure to it.

The first ever joint I put in was robotic, which says a lot. I went back and forth working closely with my Stryker counterparts and then I took a manager position which was technically reporting back into the MAKO side of the business. I used that term loosely because it went back and forth a little bit. That was what was important for me to be having communication from the robotics division and then communicating that and working collaboratively with my management team here. I went back and forth between a clinical specialist, then a rep, and then a manager with direct reports that were clinically responsible for the robotic.

You have such a dynamic experience. You were allowed to do a lot of different roles. It makes sense how it led you to the leadership you’re in now. Talk to us a little bit about that. You’ve gotten to see a lot of the progression of what it means to be a medical sales rep, how you’re assisting the surgeons with devices like a robot. I was talking about this with someone. There’s always been this impression that as we continue, especially after COVID, there’s going to be a necessity for fewer reps. They’re not going to be needed.

I remember many years ago, they were saying that the reps were done by 2000 and then I heard that in the ‘80s and ‘90s, they were saying, “Reps are going to be done in the next five years.” Reps are still around, and if anything, the industry’s grown. From your position and all that you can see, maybe over the next ten years, what do you think is going to happen as far as the role of a medical device sales rep?

We’ve started to see it pre-COVID and COVID amplified the fact that we need to be less open to having entirely too many people in an operating room. That comes from a surgeon site visit all the way down to new reps training and going up. What’s closer to being gone are the days of senior rep expert selling, and junior rep box opener covering.

It almost reminds me of the Wizard of Oz where you have somebody that’s manning computer screens from a remote proctoring standpoint. Maybe you do have a junior rep or a new person who doesn’t know as much, but they have continuous access to somebody who can pipe into their room. Maybe that person who is the expert isn’t driving 2,500 miles a month grinding, getting to all the ORs for the ten minutes that they need to be in there to help the case go well.

I think that we’re there in the technology, allowing it with your proximity, your avail, your rods and cones, your AMA XpertEye. There are all these different companies that are doing all of these things that like are allowing exposure to that. I believe that’s where it’s headed. You can’t plug 20 years’ worth of experience into that new rep in 6 months and expect them to be ready to go and answer any surgeon’s question to get there.

You also don’t need those twenty years in a basic, straightforward joint case. You need that in your hinge case where you’re pasture learning. I feel like a combination of technology integration plus incentivizing the elder reps. I include myself in that, so nobody take offense. Incentivizing your elder reps to be more available via a call schedule or whatever it is to help get people through as that eye in the sky.

You see the future’s going to bring, maybe the number of reps will remain the same, but they’re going to have that much more support and this diverse array of support to make sure these things happen successfully as far as the cases.

We’re still in a weird spot with the hospital pushback on people but also their pushback in becoming fluent in things. It’s like, “We’ve set you up to be successful. All the implants are there. You don’t want us here anymore.” This is nothing against circulating nurses because some of the hospitals are so short-staffed that they have travelers. Maybe they don’t know the hospital they’re in. The dynamic there from a staffing perspective is that nobody wants to own that liability of something getting open. That’s why I don’t think the reps are gone. We do have the ability to not need Person A in the room anymore.

We have a couple of different people reading this. We have people that want to enter the industry. We have people that are currently in the industry and we have people that are leading the way like yourself. What’s one word of advice you’d give to those that want to enter the industry? Speak specifically to your field, which is medical device sales, robotics, and augmented reality. You’re doing all the cool stuff. To anyone that reads this and is thinking about the field, what’s a piece of advice you’d give them?

Be willing to research anything and everything. There are so many learning pathways. Every day, I still take some time to learn about what’s new and what’s coming out there. People who are younger now have grown up with a lot of technology that’s been on their faces. Be fluent in that. I don’t want to say everybody goes out and plays video games all the time, but I joke that my 6-year-old has been using a virtual reality headset since he was 5.

[bctt tweet=”Be willing to research anything and everything. There are so many learning pathways. Take some time every day to learn something new.” via=”no”]

That piece is important. Stay versatile in your education, both in medical procedures and knowledge. It’ll surprise you. I never in 1 million years thought I’d be doing any engineering and I won’t tell you that I’m an engineer. Troubleshooting robots in technology as it goes into surgery has been something that’s become a huge passion for me. I would say don’t close any of the doors. If something piques your interest in the medical field, in the medical device space, chances are you can find a way in.

For those that are in that are trying to excel in their careers, they’re thinking about their next five years, maybe even leadership, what would you advise them?

Don’t settle. It’s easy. At least I’ve seen there are a lot of unknowns in the world right now. It’s easy to maybe collect a paycheck and sit somewhere that doesn’t feel right for you. The growth happens in the uncomfortable. It feels a little uncomfortable where you’re stretching, starting to grow, and starting to hit those edges. That’s where the growth happens. That’s where you’re like, “Had I not done this. Had I not taken this chance.”

MSP 130 | Robotics Medical Device Sales

Take the leap. Take the interview. Take the conversation with somebody. We all get contacted a lot by recruiters and by stuff like that. There are some of them that have an opportunity that could be the right fit for you. If somebody’s reaching out, take the call, take the interview, take the chance and you’ll thank yourself for it. Your later self will.

Last question. There are all these resources out there. Our company has them too. What we’ve seen is that these positions have become so competitive. Even succeeding in your role has become competitive. Sometimes the company you work for, because they’re prioritizing whatever they’re prioritizing, people might not be getting the training they want. People that want to get into the industry are not able to understand all that’s required to get the position they want. What is your take on programs like ours that help you get into the industry and help you perform within the industry?

It’s important. I’ve referred a couple of people where I, as somebody who is in the industry, maybe can’t help. I don’t know much about pharma. I could probably find somebody that’s in pharma and message them on somebody’s behalf and introduce them. That does work. It’s so nice that there’s something that is organized and is a pathway to success for somebody who’s looking to get in versus a like plug and play. “We’ll work on your resumé and then good luck.”

You allow opportunities for even somebody like myself. I’m somebody who’s completely underutilized LinkedIn. I’m somebody who is going to put that on a bullet point for me. Understand that coaching is not what it used to be. Coaching is learning on your own time. I’ve made it a priority in my life to continue to reach out and be constantly striving for success so that I don’t get stagnant in my resumé, my career, and my knowledge of anything in life. You can constantly get better. These resources being available for new people and existing people is huge.

Valerie, this was great. Thank you so much for everything that you’ve shared with us in the audience. Are you ready for the lightning round?

Hit me with the lightning round. Let’s do it.

Four questions and your goal is to answer them within ten seconds. First question, what is the best book you’ve read in the last few months?

I reread The Go-Giver. I like that book.

That’s a classic. No more needs to be said. For anyone reading, if you haven’t read it, you better go read it. Simple as that. What’s the best movie you’ve seen in the last few months?

I’m bad about movies because I have two speeds. Go and sleep. I’m bad about this one. I’m going to get timed out on this one. I don’t think I’ve watched a movie in which I haven’t fallen asleep.

TV show.

Is it bad that I don’t watch TV either?

No, this is good. You’re focused. If you got downtime, you’re reading, doing something active, or sleeping.

I’m usually a podcaster. I have to pick a kid’s movie because that’s probably the only thing that’s been on in the background because I have two kids. I apologize. I’m going to be bad about the movie one.

You’ve helped me add a new question to my arsenal. The question is, what is the best podcast you’ve listened to in the last few months?

I do have to give a shout-out to Jules on your show. I learned a lot more about a colleague that I didn’t even know and it was great to get to know her a little bit more. I listen to my trainer, which is the Boom Performance Podcast, and then Andy Frisella. I did 75 Hard, so I’m kind of on a kick here.

I jumped in and out of 75 Hard. I haven’t gone the full 75 days, so I’m going to be challenging myself again. I love getting into that. It works. Last two questions. What is the best meal you’ve had?

We were in Seattle and we got some amazing sushi with friends. We’re sitting on a patio overlooking Lake Washington and it was the right vibes. I’m usually a sushi person.

What is the best experience you’ve had?

Probably anything with my kids. One thing that’s super random, but I’ve been coaching hockey with my older son. I use the term coaching loosely because they’re young. It’s fun. Ice skating and being around the ice, sticks, hockey, and all of that. Honestly, it is the most freeing time. As a medical device person and as a high-energy person who’s doing a lot anyway, I have to put my phone down, ice skate, and get to do that. It may sound simple or cheesy to some people, but they look at me like I’m crazy because I have this ear-to-ear grin every night I’m on the ice. It’s so much fun. It’s cheesy, but it’s me. It’s real.

I’m curious. When you’re not working and not with the kids, what fun things are you doing with your free time?

I’m with the kids a lot. It’s a balance. Jules referenced a balancing act between the kids with her husband. That resonated with me big time because my husband is also military. We have a balancing act as well. I would say ice skating. I’m pretty active. You’d see my gym and my Peloton treadmill. I’m pretty much active being outside, getting to the mountains. It’s pretty easy for us to jump over to Tahoe or to Truckee, and be in the mountains. We have a little camper. Get outside. Make sure you’re enjoying it.

I just landed a job offer from In my previous role as VP of Operations and Sales within eyewear, I knew I found my niche and I am delighted to stay in the vision industry.

I owe this opportunity to the Evolve Your Success Team and my mentor, Justin Lohman. Without them, this wouldn’t have been possible! Before enrolling in the Medical Sales Career Builder, I was not getting interviews where I was close to an offer. Being in my previous position for 17 years, I did not understand the nuances to interviewing today. After a few short months in the program, I learned how to best present myself in interviews. This program grew my confidence and I was quickly landed multiple interviews. 

Prior to Evolve Your Success, I was not active on LinkedIn or frequently listening to podcasts. Throughout the program, I learned the importance of online networking and familiarizing yourself with companies to land the job.

Prior to transitioning into the medical device industry, I was a surgical tech for 9 years. I just want to thank Samuel and the Envolve Your Success community for assisting me in finally securing a medial device position. Before enrolling in the Medical Sales Career Builder, I couldn’t secure a position. I was able to land interviews on my own but couldn’t surpass other candidates in closing in on a role. With the help of Samuel and his team, I was able to breakthrough and stand above other candidates in the late stages of the interviewing process. Before, I was trying to network with other individuals, but the MSCB program taught me how to properly network with individuals and what the right approach was. Also, the MSCB program guided me in making my LinkedIn profile elite that would make me stand out to recruiters and other medical device professionals. The hesitation that I had that prevented me from signing up immediately was the financial commitment, but I knew I’d exhausted all my resources and options on my own in trying to secure a position. I knew I needed elite mentorship and guidance, and finally signing up for the MSCB program was the best investment I could ever make. When you consider what will happen to yourself as a leader and your revenue. It’s a no-brainer. You have so much to gain and absolutely nothing to lose if you show up 100% just as Samuel does! Thank you so much to the EYS team; my life and my career will never be the same!

I’m thrilled to share that l have accepted a position with as a Territory Specialist. My background has been in nursing, everything from the operating room to bedside care. Taking this step into medical sales I had no idea where to start which is how I stumbled across Evolve Your Success.
 
With guidance from my incredible mentors at Evolve Your Success and Samuel, I was able to successfully make that transition. A huge thank you to my mentors Blake Williams, Blake Cagle, Kelsey Stark, Nidhi Joshi and Emma Sturtevant who offered me continuous support throughout this entire journey.

Before this, I barely knew where to start. This program gave me the tools I needed to create a foundation so that I could confidently make this transition between careers. Learning how to approach the interview process, understand different companies, and really tell my story was what set this program apart.

I’ll admit I was hesitant to invest in this program, however, now that I’ve done it I know that it was the right decision.

Thanks to Samuel and his team, my hard work, and God, I’m grateful to be moving forward in this new career. To anyone considering the leap, I can’t recommend EYS enough. This experience has been life changing, and I’m beyond excited to see what the future holds in this industry.

I am thrilled to announce I just stepped into a new role as an Associate Clinical Representative with . I want to thank the Medical Sales Career Builder (MSCB), this wouldn’t have been possible without them!

Previously I worked as an occupational therapist in an acute care setting. And before that, as a freelance photographer. I’ve made big career jumps before, but I wanted to be more intentional and prepared this time. In school, I remember learning about emerging technologies and the valuable role that OT’s can play in non-clinical spaces, given our unique training. However, I had no idea how to grow beyond the clinic. 

Before enrolling in the Medical Sales Career Builder program, I didn’t even know what I didn’t know. I was listening to podcasts, reading blog posts, and taking inconsistent shots in the dark for networking. My biggest hesitation to sign up for coaching was committing myself to a goal when I didn’t yet have a clear direction in mind. 

From listening to his podcasts, I knew Samuel had a track record of success and a wealth of connections to a broad range of people within the industry. That gave me the confidence to sign up and follow his direction. After going through the MSCB program, I can honestly say I wish I would have started sooner. 

The team at Evolve Your Success were phenomenal. They really listened to my story and took time to customize my strategy with me. Samuel and the mentors were instrumental in navigating me into device sales based on my preferences and background. They helped lay out action plans, including research, book lists, group discussions and training sessions, as well as specific networking strategies and mock interview preparation. Through the program I gained a new like minded community to collaborate with. The whole process could not have been more straightforward, and spelled out the exact steps I needed to take to get to where I am now. 

As with most things in life, you get out what you put in. I highly recommend investing in yourself by joining the Medical Sales Career Builder program. Their team will equip you with the knowledge, tools, and support to take control of your career and reach your goals. 

Thank you again to Evolve Your Success for making this career in medical sales a reality for me.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just received a job offer with  , working with spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain! My background has been in nursing, everything from bedside care to travel nursing and IV clinic work; stepping into medical sales felt like uncharted territory. With guidance from Samuel and the incredible EYS team, I made it here. Huge thanks to mentors like Nidhi, Blake, Jules, Shawna, and Aaron, who supported me throughout this journey and are people who genuinely care. 

Before this, I barely knew where to start. I had friends in pharma sales but wasn’t familiar with the broader field of medical device sales or how many opportunities it offered. I wanted a way to continue helping patients in a new capacity, but I didn’t know how to approach the interview process, understand different companies, or even determine the right path within medical sales for my skills and goals.

EYS was like a roadmap, breaking down each step in a way that felt almost like solving a puzzle. They helped me recognize how my clinical background as an RN is full of transferable skills that are valuable in medical sales. The program also laid out the companies, roles, and key industry players that aligned with my experience and interests, giving me the knowledge and confidence to navigate interviews successfully.

I’ll admit, I hesitated initially. I wasn’t sure if EYS was legitimate. But after talking to April and connecting with people who had been through the program, I knew they were genuinely invested in helping professionals like me succeed. It’s something we laugh about now!

I’ve come to realize how many fulfilling, growth-oriented opportunities exist in this field, and EYS has been an incredible part of making this happen. Medical sales has so much to offer, from professional development to a work culture where people are genuinely happy and hard work is rewarded, something I hadn’t experienced as a nurse.

Thanks to EYS, my hard work, and God, I’m grateful to be moving forward in this new career. To anyone considering the leap, I can’t recommend EYS enough. This experience has been life changing, and I’m beyond excited to see what the future holds!

One year ago, I was a registered nurse in the Emergency Department here in Columbus, OH, when Samuel from Evolve Success reached out to me. His question was simple: “Have you ever considered a career in medical devices?” The truth was, I had.

At that time, I was three months into my journey trying to break into the medical device field. I had already “considered” that I no longer wanted to be a bedside nurse. I had also decided that enough was enough.

So, I declared that asking for help was not a sign of weakness. In fact, I firmly believe today that seeking the wisdom of others is the ultimate sign of strength.

And that’s exactly what I did. I joined Samuel’s team at Evolve Success for professional, high-quality mentorship. The result? Within three months of being equipped through his program, I did it—I got the job I had always dreamed of.

My advice to you? Take yourself seriously, or no one else will. I’ve found that the best way to show respect for myself is by valuing my time and investing in my dreams. I’ve learned to use my resources to rewrite my life’s script. It turns out that mentorship is a massive competitive advantage, and I’ve learned to leverage it as much as possible.

Here’s the reality for medical sales applicants: time will continue to pass, and some of you will settle—even though deep down you know you’re selling out on your professional dreams. Days will turn into weeks, weeks into months, and eventually years will slip away as your ambition of breaking into the medical device industry fades into distant thoughts.

I firmly believe that if you give Samuel a chance to guide you in your journey, not only will you not regret it, but soon you won’t be able to contain your excitement. You’ll realize that someone out there is in the same position you were just a short while ago—lost, with a dream to change their life and potential, but no direction. You’ll likely feel as I do now: eager to intervene and change someone else’s life. To pay it forward, just as someone did for you.

A sincere thank you to Samuel and the entire team at Evolve Success for your commitment to excellence and your continued investment in me.

Wishing all you medical device applicants the best.

I’m Now a Medical Territory Manager! I was a Regional Sales Representative for Long-Term Care pharmacy services. I had dreamed of getting into the med sales industry when I went into my career as a nurse, but the pharmacy sales job came to me, and I had just settled. Fortunately, I had a job shakeup that allowed me to determine that now was the time to pursue my original vision. I absolutely would not have this position without Samuel and the Evolve Your Success community. A lot of people my age would just stop trying, but EYS believed in me. EYS allowed me to break into the industry in 90-Days after I had been trying on my own for over two years! I had lots of recruiter screenings, and a few interviews with hiring managers, but I was never offered a position. Before EYS, I didn’t realize I was doing the bare minimum to get hired. I was applying everywhere, hoping to get noticed and waiting. It just wasn’t working! I didn’t know that that was not enough to compete in an industry this sought after, and against people who knew what I didn’t know about the process. Of course, I had to think hard before making a financial investment that’s reasonably substantial. But when I read the testimonials of real med sales reps on the site and learned that I wasn’t the only one taking a chance on my success, that EYS was sharing that risk also, I knew I had to do it. Though you might be able to cobble together some of the steps of getting a role in med sales from online research on your own, you just can’t know what you don’t know! The process of going through EYS presents this insider knowledge to the student, as well as giving you a progression of difficulty as you obtain the information, and you begin to master it. Not only that, but they give you access to amazing mentors and instructors, allow you to practice your interview skills, and teach you how to market yourself through social media and your own website! I cannot stress enough that EYS was the factor that made the difference in my successfully landing my dream job! The support, structure, and knowledge gained was invaluable! I would recommend this course to ANYONE looking to break into medical sales Thank you so much, EYS! This journey has been life changing and has resulted in the successful culmination of my 18-Year ambition!

I extend so much gratitude to the Evolve Your Success group as I land this role and get ready to pursue my dream job. I am a Physical Therapist who became a little stuck in the profession due to issues with reimbursement and the difficulty for continued growth upwards. I turned to EYS to assist me in learning about the medical sales industry and gain knowledgable mentors who were able to help coach me in this process. I am a strong believer in surrounding yourself with the best and good things will happen. I did work hard, but with the support of my mentors and other colleagues going through a career change, I felt a sense of community and it confirmed my drive to get into this industry. I have already learned so much through the interview process, and feel very blessed to have had the resources this group provided. I have made lifelong friends and I cannot wait to continue to follow others’ journeys to pursue this incredible field. I urge you to give Evolve Your Success a try to gain mentorship, guidance, and support through any career transition.

I landed my dream role at and am excited to make a difference in patients’ lives as a Pharmaceutical Sales Specialist.

After working as a nurse for 13 years and running my own floral design business I wanted to find a way to blend my clinical background and entrepreneurial experience to pursue a fulfilling career in medical sales.

Before I enrolled in the Medical Sales Career Builder I was hesitant to begin my journey and wanted to make sure I could be as prepared as possible when working to break in. That’s where I found Samuel and the team at EYS. I began listening to medical sales podcasts and heard story after story of how EYS helped change lives. I knew that by joining the program I would have all the tools and coaching necessary to be successful in achieving my goals.

Going through the steps of the MCSB gave me the 30,000 foot view of what it takes to break into such a competitive industry. I knew I would come out on the other side changed and that it would set me apart from the many others looking to do the same. The team at EYS helped me gain the confidence it takes to interview, taught me how to clearly articulate my story, and easily translate how my background as a nurse and business owner can drive success into this industry.

Along with the incredible learning materials I was blown away by the enthusiasm and professionalism of all the mentors I was able to learn from. Not only did they offer guidance from their past experiences they tailored their support to my unique background and career aspirations. If you know you are looking to make a change and don’t want to make it alone, EYS gives you the team and the support you need to be successful. It takes time and a lot of hard work but in the end it pays off and you will be proud of the journey you made to get there!

Thank you again to such an incredible team that changed my life and so many others!

I just landed an offer for my dream job at ! Though I truly enjoyed working as a physical therapist, I can’t wait to start my career in the sales world as a Clinical Account Executive.

This opportunity would not have been possible without Samuel, the team at EYS, and the MCSB program. Prior to enrolling with EYS, I was very frustrated with the lack of interviews and opportunities I was getting in the Medtech sales space. With the lessons learned from MCSB and guidance from the incredible team at EYS, I was empowered with the tools needed to earn interviews and thrive in the hiring process. Though I tried to acquire knowledge through podcasts, the straightforward and personalized EYS program was a major help to learn the ways of the sales world. Samuel, Blake, and my mentor Ryan provided encouragement and boosted my self-confidence that I can secure a job in the non-clinical space. The EYS program helped me translate my clinical skills/background as physical therapist into a salesperson in the medical field.

I highly recommend anyone who is passionate about making the transition into medical sales to join EYS. You will certainly not regret it, as it is truly a family that wants to see you succeed as much as you do!

I just landed a job offer from Becton Dickinson . I owe this opportunity to Samuel, the program, and the incredible mentors at EYS.

I am a former teacher with some sales experience, and switching to medical sales felt like an impossible leap. For about two years, I applied for medical sales jobs, but I didn’t even get a single interview. I tried applying directly on LinkedIn, but that didn’t work. I had heard about EYS, and did some research on it. The biggest criticism I heard was that if you know how to start a conversation with strangers, you shouldn’t have to pay for a program to get you a job. I tried networking on my own, but it didn’t get me anywhere.

After exhausting all other options, I decided to give EYS a try. From the moment I joined, I was enrolled in workshops and connected with a supportive team of medical sales reps who genuinely wanted me to succeed. I learned how to network effectively, who to reach out to, and how to make the right connections. The classes were excellent, and soon enough, I had a strong resume, much better industry knowledge, and a lot more confidence in my ability to land a medical sales job.

Within a month of joining, I started getting interviews! I couldn’t believe I was actually being seen by hiring people and seriously being considered for these jobs. But getting an interview is just the first step; you need to stand out. I did multiple mock interviews with EYS professionals and had phone conversations with my mentors before some of my interviews. I never felt alone in the process. Even when I received the job offer, I called one of my mentors right away and got some valuable advice on the next steps.

I’ve spoken with many medical sales professionals who have shared their own struggles in landing their first jobs. They’re all amazed at how quickly I received my offer and how it came about. I can honestly say I owe it 100% to EYS. If you’re in the same position I was in and are considering joining the program, don’t hesitate. It’s worth every penny, and the sooner you start, the sooner you’ll get a job offer.

Thank you EYS team for making a career in medical sales possible for me.

Samuel is one of the most authentic, well versed, inspirational coaches in the industry. I chanced upon Samuel’s LinkedIn profile and connected with him based on his industry knowledge. Upon our very 1st conversation I knew whole heartedly that he was the exact person I needed to help me make the career change I was looking for. He explained his program and what it had to offer. He also relayed what to expect within the 6 weeks we’d be specifically working on building this change together. The program he has in place works, because of its structure and methodology. He provides the most beneficial/honest feedback and support. He makes himself available for any and all questions. He has 1st hand working knowledge and experience of & within the industry and how to become exquisitely prepared for a career change into medical/pharmaceutical sales. Most importantly what his programming offers and the steps taken to ensure personal success(es) are worth every moment of time spent (resume building, interview preparation, presentation, etc.). Without Samuel’s guidance, support, knowledge, encouragement, honesty, and support I would still be looking for a pharmaceutical sales position. I feel blessed to have met him & had his guidance. “Once a client always a client”. Although the “career change” guidance and programming is no longer needed…I will remain his client for life (that’s guaranteed). Within the 6 short weeks of programming time…I went from barely understanding the industry to landing a dream position. Without a doubt…I will continue to access Samuel as my mentor and coach throughout my pharmaceutical sales career. I will reach out to him to assure my continued growth & success in this field. He’s the gentleman anyone needs if they are serious about making a career change. There is no doubt everyone succeeds with Samuel! To say that I am extremely grateful is an understatement.

I decided to invest in Evolve Your Success sales coaching program to better my chances in pharmaceutical sales interview processes. Samuel delivered an excellent customer experience. Due to time constraints on my end, we had to do a “crash” course and the information and tools I received was still invaluable. The passion and knowledge that he integrated into the consults, was everything that I needed to boost my confidence, through proper preparation and key tools for successful interviewing in this very specific niche market. Receiving recorded videos of each training session was especially helpful to be able to be fully present during the session and not have to worry if I missed taking notes on some small but integral piece of information.

I highly recommend this program for any person interested in investing in their own success in sales. If you want better outcomes you must exercise your 5 P’s: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. Samuel will go above and beyond to help those who are serious about being prepared for success! I have already raved to my colleagues about the evolve your success programs and they all saw first hand how I was positively impacted toward greater results in my sales career!

I was willing to support this new business because I saw the passion behind it. And what I received was a first rate sales program. I am better personally and professionally for it, and you can be too. Invest in your now and reap the fruits forever. 2020 is a great year to start to Evolve Your Success for the decade ahead!

Enrolling in Samuel’s EYS Career Builder program was the best professional decision I have made to date. The knowledge I gained through the program was pivotal in making myself the candidate I desired to be. Beyond the coursework, lessons, calls (etc), the course encourages you to commit to something that is often overlooked – internal reflection. While developing your skillset, network, and overall knowledge of the industry is incredibly important. One of the biggest takeaways for me was taking what you had learned and connecting it to your “why.” Why do you want to work for this company? Why do you want to promote these products? Why is this your passion? This course isn’t structured to land you “just a job,” it is structured to help you land your dream job. Which I was able to accomplish.

I wish everyone had the opportunity to learn from an individual like Samuel. He is someone who I consider as a coach & mentor, but also as a friend. Samuel is relentlessly focused on developing talent while pushing you to grow through positive reinforcement. The EYS program has made an undeniable impact in my life, and for that I give Samuel and the program my respect and highest recommendation.

He and I discussed the issues I was having and that’s when he told me about Samuel and his program.

Samuel and his team at Evolve Your Success are game changers for professionals who are looking to present themselves at their best. I knew the competition for a career in the medical sales arena is immense and I needed to prepare myself to standout amongst all the other candidates vying for the same positions as I was. Sam will tell you I am very self aware of my strengths and weaknesses and I am very comfortable about speaking on what I know but not so much talking about myself. Enrolling in the Medical Sales Career Builder Program offered a holistic approach of how to represent my skills and attributes to hiring managers all awhile staying true to myself as I told my story. When you commit to the process the results happen, I landed a perfect role with the #1 medical device company in the world with no prior medical sales experience. You owe it to yourself and your career to join Evolve Your Success !!

The journey of breaking into medical sales can be much longer and harder than many expect. One thing I learned from Samuel is that networking goes a long way into landing a job in medical sales. They also helped me get better at my interview skills and answer questions more genuinely.

Prior to enlisting Samuel’s services I was a “middle of the pack” rep at Primus. Not the worst, but far from the best. Up to that point I thought I had all of the tools necessary to get into President’s Club, but my results were showing otherwise.

The missing ingredient that Samuel has given me is fire. The fire to go out everyday and work my territory to its max. The fire to use my downtime at home to prep & prepare for the day ahead. Evolve You Success was the ignition I needed to help realize the kind of rep I am, what my unique personality brings to the table, and how to leverage the sum of these parts to the maximum.

When I began Samuel’s program in September of 2021 I was ranked 12th out of 40 reps, by the end of the year I finished in 6th place; comfortably in President’s Club. I also ended 1st nationally for our brand Promiseb which garnered me another award.

For those on the fence I strongly recommend making the investment. I have easily recouped the cost not only in the awards I won but the increased bonuses that have come along with it already.

Samuel’s Evolve Your Success program has directly contributed to my personal success, and I recommend it to anyone who will listen.

Although I was an active scroller and 👍 on LinkedIn, I wasn’t a content creator and my profile read like a resume with an outdated picture. During Samuel’s coaching and education sessions, my profile was rebranded to look more appropriate to my audience as a sales professional. With Samuel’s help, I became comfortable engaging with others with comments and creating meaningful content.

The results are in! The EYS program has helped take my LinkedIn voice outside of my company and straight to my customers. Since starting EYS, my connections and followers have doubled and my profile views skyrocket with new content. One meaningful LinkedIn interaction recently has assisted in securing a multimillion-dollar project and I’m confident there will be more! 😊

Samuel is an amazing coach and mentor to me. He has elite experience in the medical device sales industry and I love seeing his passion helping people break into medical device. I personally worked with Samuel on personal branding for a period of over 6 months.

From start to finish, he was always very structured and held me accountable weekly. The Linkedin and mindset portion of his course really helped me. Even though I already have had success in sales at multiple industries, taking Samuel’s course helped me take things to the next level! Highly recommend others doing it.

I just accepted a Clinical Specialist Pain Intervention Sales Rep job offer! I want to thank the Medical Sales Career Builder; utilizing this program gave me the exact edge I needed to get the position. I had attained many interviews for many different medical sales roles, but I could never get past the 1st one. I listening to podcasts, to gain any knowledge of getting into the industry. This is how I found Samuel’s program and The Medical Sales Podcast.

The second I found out what the program entailed I was ready to get started immediately. I knew it was going to be one of the most promising investments I’ve ever made. After 5 hard weeks of applying the necessary steps from the MSCB program, I succeeded in getting my dream job! The resources, social media learning and boosted confidence gave me exactly what I needed to land an interview quickly and promote my most authentic self and communicate my story and skill sets effectively to the recruiters and hiring managers.

I just accepted a Technical Sales Associate job offer! I want to thank the Medical Sales Career Builder; The MSCB program not only introduced me into the medical device industry but gave me in depth knowledge of what top companies want to see in me and how to be an asset to their organization.

I did not have sales experience and I had no idea what companies to look for, what industries to look into, or where to start to get a medical sales position. I also did not know how to interview or even get to the interview stage. One day I went on Spotify and found The Medical Sales Podcast, talked to the team and joined the program. In addition to getting every single resource a person needs to get a medical sales position, I also learned how to effectively tell my story and navigated the interview sequence.

The MSCB program not only comes with resources but you are also able to join a community of like-minded medical sales reps. The investment is totally worth it but it requires a constant effort. The knowledge and skills I have learned here are skills I will rely on for the rest of my sales career. I want to thank the MSCB team for all their time, support and life changing experience.

When I started working in orthotics and prosthetics in December 2021, it was my first ever job in medical sales. I knew I needed to find resources to make me a more effective rep. I was spending a lot of time driving, so I searched for medical sales podcasts I could listen to between driving to my accounts. I found Samuel’s “Medical Sales Podcast,” and there was so much value in every episode. He advertised his “Evolve Your Success” program for people that wanted to break into medical sales or take their careers to the next level. After listening to a few episodes, this was a no-brainer for me. Working with Samuel over the last three months, I have become a more confident, efficient, and organized sales rep and developed a better mindset. I’ve developed key relationships with his help, which ultimately landed me an opportunity as a spine rep which he is now helping develop me in this new role. I can’t recommend Samuel enough. I’m grateful I found him and his podcast because It has genuinely evolved my success.

I just accepted a Medical Supplies Sales Rep job offer! I want to thank the Medical Sales Career Builder; this wouldn’t have been possible without them! Before enrolling in the Medical Sales Career Builder, I knew I had skills that could translate into the Healthcare industry, but I didn’t know where to begin in terms of which field was the right fit for me. I had applied to several roles and could not get past the ATS and I did not know how to tell my story.

I was hesitant to invest into the MSCB program, but as I was networking with medical sales reps and discussing the podcasts I’d been listening to (Samuel’s Podcast) — I made the connection with one of the sales reps that recommended Samuel’s program, as he was using it to build is LinkedIn Brand.

After joining the MSCB program, it took just under 3 months to land my dream job! The biggest impact the program had during my job search was it held me accountable. The MSCB program is a well-oiled machine and it holds you accountable to take every step in order to be prepared & get your dream job. In addition, it gave me the resources and the feedback to communicate the right message to sales reps, recruiters & hiring managers to get the job.

If you’re interested in joining the Healthcare sales industry but don’t know where to start or if you’re not making any progress with securing interviews, this program is for you! If you put your all into the program, you’ll see the results — but you have to show up and be ready to do the work. There are many resources I used during the program that I will continue to reference and utilize to succeed & grow in my career as a sales rep. I’m incredibly thankful that I found this program and took the leap to make such a large career pivot — I couldn’t have done it without their resources and motivation!

I was coming straight out of college and found it daunting to put myself out there. Before joining EYS I had a hard time reaching decision makers and received way to many “Unfortunately we have considered somebody else”. However, after taking this course I was able to build the confidence to network, refine my resume/brand, and land interviews.

Thanks for everything : )

If you are considering whether or not you should do this program, I highly HIGHLY recommend doing it! Sam is the real deal!

Coming from someone who has a strong clinical background with minimal business experience, this program caught me up to speed on the business and medical device sales world in less than 90 days! It equipped me with the necessary skills to network, build my resume, effectively communicate my worth to companies, and develop a realistic plan to obtain a medical sales role. Even my friends commented on how professionally sound I was after taking this program.

Sam has set up the program in a way that is easy to follow and offers you a community. Everyone in the class is rooting for each other and excited for each other when we get the positions that we always dreamed of. It is a really really positive experience, and made me excited and even more motivated to learn crucial professional skills and network for jobs. It turned searching for a job from a horrible experience into an exciting and fun one.

This sense of community pushed me, and I obtained my first medical device sales representative position in less than 90 days. Sam genuinely cares about his client’s success and is just as excited, if not more excited, than you are to watch you succeed in the medical sales world! 10/10 experience. The skills I have learned in this program I will continue to exercise throughout my professional career. I am excited to see what the future holds for me and cannot begin to thank Sam and the EYS community enough!

I’m a 23 yr old recent college grad who’s now working at Boston Scientific as a Field Clinical Rep in CRM.

If you want to break into med device I would absolutely consider this program. I am so glad I made the investment and am confident I wouldn’t have gotten this role without it.

Samuel and his team will first help you figure out exactly where you want to be in this industry. Whether it’s pharma or med device, they’ll go over what the day to day will look like and bring in speakers who are already in the field. They’ll help you revamp you’re LinkedIn and resume to help you stand out from the crowd. This program will tell you exactly what you need to do to obtain you’re dream job so as long as you keep with it and put in the work, you’re going to see results.

Had I not done this program I might have settled for less. You need to interview your interviewers and really ask yourself “can I see myself growing with this team and will I be supported”. The EYS team will guide you on how to do this and what questions you need to be asking.

The list goes on and on for why I’m thankful I did this so if you’re on the edge for whether or not you should do this, I would say go for it because life’s too short to be waiting for you’re dream job to come around.

I LANDED MY DREAM JOB!

I discovered Samuel’s program after going on a deep dive into his “Medical Sales Podcast.”

I was a Clinical Laboratory Manager and I enjoyed what I did but like many of people out there, I was hungry for a new “challenge”. I wanted to take my love for healthcare and technology to the next level by pursuing a transition into the Medical Sales space; however, I also knew that it wouldn’t be an easy task.

This program was everything I needed to make my dream happen! Samuel has put together a phenomenal team of coaches who truly challenge you to showcase your achievements and communicate your VALUE.

Within a few months, I was prepared to “walk me through your resume” and own “my story”. I was able to showcase my strengths and value, while staying true to who I am and remaining authentic during the interview process.

Regardless of your professional background, B2B experience OR NOT, you have useful skills and experiences that will make you an asset in the medical sales space. The EYS team and community of past and present students will be there the whole way to help you practice, discover, and own your potential!

I just want to thank the Medical Sales Career Builder program, the medical sales mentors and client success managers from the EYS team, this wouldn’t have been possible without them! Before enrolling in the Medical Sales Career Builder, I wasn’t getting many interviews despite my best efforts. The few I was getting didn’t go very far and I received feedback along the lines of “not enough experience” even though I had been working in sales for 3 years. I applied to dozens of jobs, networked with friends and family on the industry, and even had help getting my resume tuned up. Once I found Evolve Your Success, the biggest hesitation I had was being unsure if I could afford the investment in myself. I thought long about where I currently am and where I wanted to go. I knew deep down EYS would get me where I wanted to be. I am so glad I chose to go through the program.

Previously, I was a sales representative at poly pharmaceuticals selling cough cold and allergy products. With that being said, I want to give a shoutout to Samuel and the EYS team. They really gave me the support that I needed to take this step forward in my career. Before working with the EYS team, I was having a really hard time making it through the early stages of the interview process. I was reading all kinds of sales books, watching interview tips on youtube, sending out tons of applications, and if you can imagine anything else, I was doing that too. Looking back on things now, my initial reaction was “How can I be failing at this when I’ve been successful in so many other areas of my life”. To be honest, a lot of times it felt demoralizing. Once I decided to join EYS, I was surrounded by people who lifted me up and gave me the advice that got me to where I am today. So, what I can say is this… if you find yourself in the same boat that I was, don’t waste any more of your time. Samuel is the guy you want on your team. With all that being said, thank you to the EYS team and its all of its mentors. You have truly left your footprint on my life.

Then I spoke to Samuel. Samuel from day 1 told me, “You have what it takes to make the change, you just need to change your approach. At first, I was skeptical, but after speaking to past alumni of the program and seeing the success past candidates had, I took the leap and trusted Samuel and his team. This leap of faith was the best decision I made in my approach to making this career pivot successful. Samuel, your program Medical Sales Career Builder. has helped me in many ways to achieve the goals I set out for myself. Your program taught me how to stand out from the pack of applicants.

I just got an offer from Medtronic for my dream job as a Clinical Specialist!! I could not be more excited and ready to begin my new career journey!

I want to give the biggest thank you to Samuel, April, Ferdy, Jules, Anthoney, and the entire Evolve Your Success team. Without the structure, support and wealth of information and resources I would not have had this opportunity present itself. Before I joined EYS, I was struggling to get noticed and land interviews. I had spent well over 6 months trying to get my foot in the door and be noticed. I knew I had the clinical background and skills that would make me a great candidate, but I wasn’t standing out from others. Within a couple weeks of joining this program I had two top companies interviewing me!!

This program really helped me hone in on my networking skills!! The win the view component of this class is truly what helped me land the job. I not only was able to get better with my interviewing style and comfort level, but I had support with every step. From help with building your LinkedIn profile, revamping your resume and the countless conversations from my mentor, I can’t say enough good things. This program is 100% worth the investment if you’re wanting to break into the medical device sales. I can especially say that for any clinician out there who’s a PT/OT/SLP/nurse.
Going through the Medical Sales Career Builder program was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I cannot recommend this to enough people!! There is so much knowledge and insight to gain. Plus you build a strong network of people along the way who are always rooting for you and cheering you on, even if it’s in the background.

I just got a job as a Territory Representative. I used to be a practicing small animal veterinarian, but I wanted to make a career pivot into medical device sales. I’m thankful Samuel initially reached out to me on LinkedIn simply offering to share 3 easy ways I could improve my LinkedIn profile. The Evolve Your Success team and program was very helpful allowing me to properly present myself and the skills I have as well as teaching me how to network and make the right connections with the right people.

Before I started the program I thought I would be able to transition into medical device sales with relative ease, however it was taking longer than I had hoped for. After a few months of constant job applications, I couldn’t get in front of someone to actually talk to and show them what I have to offer. I couldn’t even get a phone interview. So finally after a few months, I decided to write back to Samuel asking what those 3 things might be to improve my LinkedIn profile, and hear more about what he had to offer.

I was still pretty hesitant to sign up for the program though, considering the fact I’m a doctor myself, I know have great people skills, I make meaningful connections with people, and I have the ability to learn almost anything. Ultimately though, it was exactly what I needed.

The program really helped me polish the way I presented myself, and helped me gain confidence during the interview process. It really helped me get a better understanding of the sales world, and taught me how to do meaningful networking.

I definitely recommend the program, and I’m so happy I decided to go forward with it even though I didn’t think I needed it. It didn’t just help me break into the industry faster, it helped me break in, becaused it’s a competitive field and I don’t know if it would have happened without some of the skills I learned in the program.

So thank you very much to the entire Evolve Your Success Team. I’m excited for what’s next and look forward to sharing where I’ll be a year from now.

From Physical Therapist to landing an amazing role in Medical Device Sales in less than 3 months!

I recently accepted an entry level medical device sales position at Zimmer Biomet, an incredible company, thanks to Samuel, his incredible team including April, Anthoney, Brett, Julia, Jeff, Aiza, and Ferdy, as well as the rest of the EYS rock stars who enable the program to run so efficiently.

I knew that I wanted to break into medical device sales ASAP, and from the glowing recommendations and success stories, I chose EYS to help get me there. I had heard from others in the field that it took them years to successfully transition into the industry. With the significant resources at EYS, most importantly, access to wonderful mentors who are established in medical sales, it only took me 10 weeks to land a job with a fantastic company.

The EYS Program was invaluable throughout my job search. While it requires time and attention to complete assignments and hone skills relevant to getting a job offer in the field, the outcome is well worth the effort. From informal office hours, to structured webinars related to interviewing, networking, and personal attention on how to leverage my clinical experience in the world of medical sales, I was incredibly well-equipped for all the twists and turns of the recruiting process.

I would definitely recommend Samuel, his team, and the EYS Program without hesitation to anyone who is seriously committed to succeeding in medical sales. Thank you all!

I’m thrilled to announce my new role as a Territory Manager at Zynex Medical!

I previously worked as a hospital speech pathologist, experiencing burnout and desire for change. I yearned for a position offering greater opportunities for growth and challenge, and now I am so excited to begin my journey of working in medical device sales.

I owe a huge thank you to the entire team at Evolve Your Success. From the second I entered the program, I found genuine support from the entire team – they were truly dedicated to my success.

Before the program, I wasn’t landing any interviews, and I struggled to demonstrate how my clinical background aligned with medical sales. The program not only helped me transform my resume and LinkedIn profile and create an exceptional digital career portfolio, but also significantly elevated my networking and interview skills. The program gave me confidence I needed to sell myself!

If you are struggling to showcase yourself and seeking a supportive network, I highly recommend joining the program.

Thanks again to the whole EYS team. I can’t wait to share more about my journey!

My name is Daniella, and I am a former Cardiac Registered Nurse and Nurse Educator. I now have my dream job as a Cardiac Clinical Specialist! Prior to joining this program, I was unaware of how important having a LinkedIn profile, creating your personal brand, and networking can be. Samuel and his team really taught me how to utilize LinkedIn and effectively network to find the best fit and company to work for. I loved learning from people in the industry and gaining invaluable insights and advice that I will be utilizing throughout my career. I am happy to say I am now a part of a great team and company! Getting into medical device sales is not easy, and it requires hard work, but it was worth the investment to have the support and network! Highly recommend this program!

I recently accepted an entry level medical device sales position with an incredible company. Samuel has thankfully built out a fantastic team. I have to include the names of the people that had a hand on my success: Blake, April, Anthoney, Julia, Jeff, Aiza, Mignon, Elizabeth and the rest of the EYS work horses who allow for the program to run so efficiently.

One thing for me, I knew that I wanted to break into medical device space fast! I particularly chose EYS to help get me there due to their self paced training modules.
I had heard from my peers that it took them longer than they anticipated to successfully transition into the industry. I was able to land my job in the time I predicted.

EYS provides a significant amount of resources, including extraordinary mentors; some of which I listed above.
The EYS Program was invaluable throughout my job search. The program teaches you how to navigate through each component of industry. Might I add… whatever you put in, you will certainly get out. It is worth investing into YOURSELF!

Samual has structured the course beautifully. From informal office hours, webinars related to interviewing, networking, and personalized tips on how to leverage my prior work experience in the world of medical sales.
I felt ready to navigate the interview sequence due to the guidance of the modules, and office hours.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Samuel, his team, and the EYS Program to anyone who is seriously committed to succeeding in medical sales and willing to put in the work. If you have been waiting to take that leap, let EYS help lead you to your dream job!

Thanks to Samuel and EYS, I just accomplished my goal of transitioning my career into sales!!!

I was an Occupational Therapist who for the past year had been working to transition into medical sales. I was struggling to succeed in getting interviews as well as landing an offer. I was applying tirelessly to positions and networking, but with little success. I was hesitant to join the Medical Sales Career Builder as an investment of time and money, yet I knew I couldn’t keep doing what wasn’t working!

I can confidently say I am so glad I decided to dive into Samuel’s program! The team was positive, supportive and the program was thorough. It gave me the tools to have an edge with networking, my resume, interview skills and interview presentations.

It was the best decision I made for my career and future! I am excited to share that I landed a unique opportunity with a Therapy company in their sales division!! Samuel gives 100% to his program and if you do the same, you will succeed!

Thank you again to Samuel, Amber, Jules, Blake, Lisa and the entire EYS team!

Samuel! I just accepted my job offer as a Regional Trauma Associate.

With outside sales experience, I decided to pursue this unique industry because I was looking for more fulfillment in my sales career. And what is more fulfilling than literally changing a patient’s outcome for the better?

In your program, I had access to educational resources and mentors throughout the entire interview process allowing me to focus on really shining in each interview round.

My mentor, Jules, provided such a cool perspective given her extensive background in this division and was absolutely dedicated to my success. One of the many times Blake W. took time out of his day to chat was to ensure I was ready for my interview. Even though he was dealing with his own lunch catering debacle and it was urgent situation where I would’ve absolutely understood a cancellation, I somehow still had his undivided attention. I was also able to learn valuable skills from my fellow students, cohort leader Jeff L. and many mentors in the program who I will be keeping in contact with for years to come.

The Medical Sales Career Builder program was an investment that requires consistency, dedication and curiosity to learn new perspectives from high achievers in the industry. As for me, I knew I needed to take action in different ways and start doing things I haven’t done in order to get places I haven’t been. Ultimately, this program not only elevated my career drastically. It elevated my skills beyond next level and allowed my confidence to soar.

Thank you, Samuel and phenomenal mentors for an incredible experience and guiding me as I reach for new heights.

I am thrilled to announce my new role as a Territory Manager at Zynex Medical. I was previously a Healthcare Consultant and wanted to break into medical device sales. Samuel and the Evolve Your Success Community made all of this possible for me with their mentorship and guidance. Before I joined the Medical Sales Career Builder I was very limited in my education about the medical sales industry and in connecting with the right people. I was hesitant to join MSCB because I wasn’t sure it would make a difference in my efforts. The MSCB allowed me to learn from some of the best people in the business and taught me how to connect with the right people and build my confidence. The mentors I was assigned went above and beyond to help me every step of the way. If you’re ready for a change and have a career you’re proud of I strongly suggest contacting Samuel! Samuel is the prime example of what it takes to be successful and has an incredible team! Thank you again to the EYS team for changing my life and helping me get the career that I was looking for.

I have just accepted a Professional Education Associate role at Nevro and I can’t wait to get started!

I’ve been in public education for the past six years. As much as I’ve loved being a teacher, I knew I wanted to go further professionally. I’ve seen the struggle my colleagues have gone through trying to transition out of teaching and knew I wanted to be strategic in switching industries.

I stumbled upon Samuel’s Medical Sales Podcast by what felt like fate, binged it for about three weeks, then decided to take plunge and signed up for the Medical Sales Career Builder Course. If you’re serious about getting into the Medical Sales Industry, and doing so efficiently, I HIGHLY recommend you do the same.

The best part of the course, hands down, is the support from the mentors (Blake W., Zach, Jules- I love you). These incredible people went above and beyond for me many times. They helped me identify my unique strengths that would make me successful in this industry and made sure I knew exactly what I needed to do to excel in every step of the interview process.

The weekly meetings with my cohort were also hugely impactful. It not only created an opportunity to learn from our experienced cohort leader Jeff, but created a community of peers going through similar experiences. There were tough moments in this process, but the support from my cohort is what encouraged me to keep moving forward.

If you are coachable and ready to put in the work, you will absolutely be successful in this course. I am beyond grateful for Evolve Your Success and that path that it has set me on. I am so excited for my future and can’t wait to see what’s to come! Thank you Samuel and the EYS Team!

I just started a new role as a senior clinical specialist at Medtronic in the Deep Brain Stimulation division!

My previous role was a neuro occupational therapist, working on a specialized brain injury unit. I truly loved my work as an OT, however I didn’t see much growth opportunity in this career. I love to work hard and, unfortunately, there are limited opportunities to achieve new goals and experience new challenges in this type of role, along with limited incentives to work hard.

I want to express my deepest thanks and appreciation to Samuel Adeyinka’s Medical Sales Career Builder program. He an his team delivered what was promised and more, and this opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without their expertise and guidance.

Before joining the Medical Sales Career Builder program, I was applying for jobs that, in hindsight, were a poor fit based on my background and interests. I didn’t even know neuromodulation existed before joining MSCB and I’m so grateful for the extensive education I received on the potential avenues to explore within the medical sales industry. Before joining the program, I was searching for jobs on LinkedIn with no clear direction or foundational knowledge about the subdivisions within each industry or the type of work involved with each role.

My initial hesitation with signing up for MSCB was the cost, however it turned out to be an excellent return on investment. I received a $35,000 increase in salary, and that number will continue to grow at a much faster pace now than in my previous role.

Going through the Medical Sales Career Builder program was a very smooth process. I was amazed at how much I was learning and how quickly I saw the results I was looking for throughout each step of the process. I’m grateful for the mentorship I received and the responsiveness from all employees in the program.

Don’t ever be afraid to make a change in your career! I had moments of crazy fear come over me as I wondered if this was the right choice for me, and I’m so thankful that I trusted my gut and took a leap of faith. There’s so much out there to learn, go get it!

I just accepted a new role as a Clinical Specialist in Deep Brain Stimulation at Medtronic! Enrolling in the Medical Sales Career Builder program was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I made for myself and career. I want to extend a sincere thank you to Samuel and the entire team at EYS! With their guidance and knowledge of the industry, I was able to land this role within just 3 months of starting the application process.

Previously, I was a Physical Therapist working in an inpatient rehab facility primarily working with the neuro population. I loved being a PT and helping others regain their independence, but I knew there wasn’t much room for growth and professional development, and I was feeling burnt out. It was hard to come to the realization that I wanted a career change so soon, but I was determined to make the pivot into medical device, I just had no idea how.

I began listening to several medical device podcasts hoping to learn how I could make the transition. Samuel’s podcast was my favorite, and the success stories from past graduates was inspiring. I learned how competitive the field is and wanted to avoid the stress and struggles of doing it on my own, so I joined EYS right off the bat, and I am so glad that I did!

The MSCB program helped me discover the exact space where my passion, background, and skillset would set me up for success. The mentors and instructors not only offered expert guidance but also tailored their support to suit my unique background and career goals. The abundant mentorship and resources available provided me with the edge I needed for networking and navigating the interview process. It was a very smooth process, and I was able to directly apply what I was learning in the course to see the results I wanted.

If you’re looking for a new challenge in the medical device industry or greater fulfillment out of your career like I was, I would wholeheartedly recommend this program, it’s a no brainer!

Thanks to the unwavering support of Samuel and the EYS team, I am thrilled to have recently accepted a position as a Spine Sales Representative with Medtronic—a milestone that would not have been possible without their expertise and mentorship. The program not only changed the trajectory of my transition from the clinic but also opened doors to unparalleled career and financial growth opportunities.

After 12 fulfilling years as a physical therapist specializing in outpatient orthopedics, I reached a point where I felt stagnant in terms of both personal and professional growth. Despite my passion for helping patients overcome musculoskeletal challenges, I yearned for new opportunities to expand my horizons. It was during this period of reflection that I discovered the Medical Sales Career Builder program offered by EYS.

Prior to enrolling in the program, I encountered numerous setbacks in my pursuit of transitioning into a medical sales role. Despite applying to eleven positions, I received nothing but automated rejection emails, leaving me disheartened and uncertain about my prospects. However, upon joining the program, I quickly realized the transformative power of the guidance provided by Samuel and his team.

The comprehensive training, mentorship, and practical tools offered by the Medical Sales Career Builder program equipped me with the skills and confidence necessary to navigate the competitive landscape of medical sales. From refining my networking abilities to mastering the art of interviewing, every aspect of the program was tailored to empower me for success in my new career path.

Reflecting on my journey, I am immensely grateful for the investment I made in the Medical Sales Career Builder program. While the initial cost gave me pause, I can now attest without hesitation that it was worth every penny and more. In hindsight, I would have gladly paid double for the invaluable insights and support I received.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Medical Sales Career Builder program to anyone aspiring to break into the field of medical sales. Samuel, EYS, and the entire team have not only equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary for success but have also been unwavering in their commitment to my professional growth and development.

Once again, I extend my sincerest gratitude to Samuel, EYS, and the entire team for their instrumental role in shaping the next chapter of my career journey. I look forward to continuing to make strides in my new role and am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead.

From RN to Diagnostic Sales Specialist with 

 

I am thrilled to announce that I have taken on a new professional challenge as I have accepted a role as Territory Manager with Zynex Medical. This opportunity comes after 2 ½ years of diligent applying and searching. My career as a physical therapist has spanned the last three decades, and though I have always enjoyed working with patients, I had been feeling burnt out and desperately wanting a change.

In August 2021, I completed my MBA, believing it would be a game changer in my job search. However, despite this new qualification, my application was often one of hundreds from very well-qualified candidates, and I faced rejection countless times. I wish I knew then what I know now.

The turning point came when I joined the Medical Sales Career Builder program with Samuel. The skills I honed and connections I made through this program made all the difference. The training I received helped me build the confidence and competencies essential for my new career.

Simply signing up for the program is not enough; there is no magic wand. It requires hard work and commitment. But if you dedicate yourself to the program and put in the effort, you will succeed!

I am a recent Purdue graduate with a B.S. degree in biology and a minor in business management and entrepreneurship. For the past 10 years I have worked for Rainmaker irrigation as a service technician for 6 years and an outside sales rep for 4 years. With my passion for biology and innovative healthcare technologies combined with the customer service and outside sales skills I developed at Rainmaker, I always knew I wanted to transition into the medical sales industry. My dream of breaking into the medical sales industry has been made true because of my hard work and persistence along with the support from Samuel and his team at EYS.

I am so thankful for Samuel Adeyinka’s Medical Sales Career Builder program and all the EYS mentors, because this wouldn’t have been possible without them. My mentors Alyson Bowen, Blake Williams, Julia Greenspan, and Brett St. Clair over delivered on their promises, and I couldn’t be more thankful for all their valuable insights.

Before I enrolled in the Medical Sales Career Builder, I wasn’t getting all the interviews I wanted, and the ones I did get, I was lost and didn’t know how to express my strengths and what I would bring to the table. I first discovered this program 4 months before I joined by listening to the Medical Sales Podcast that Samuel hosts. From that podcast, I learned so much from all the seasoned professionals he interviews and knew that I wanted to be just like them one day. So one day I pulled the trigger and met with April Hoffman. After our countless conversations, I felt that it was the right fit for me to join the program and the only thing I wish is that I did it sooner. The only hesitation I had about joining was the investment cost, but I soon realized that the best investment you can make is in yourself!

The MSCB program is built to help you break into the medical sales industry and it gives you all the tools you could possibly need to succeed. It is made to work around your current work schedule and as long as you put in the work on your own time, you too will have your dream job in no time! Joining this program was the best decision I have ever made and I highly recommend you do the same if you want to make a difference in the healthcare industry.

Thanks again to the EYS team for helping me get my career started!

Recent success as a Vascular Clinical Specialist at 

 

I owe my recent success as a Vascular Clinical Specialist at Solventum, the new medical spinoff of 3M, to the invaluable support, guidance, and connections provided by EYS. The team at EYS has truly been instrumental in propelling me into this exciting new chapter of my career.

After seven years working as a registered nurse in various fields, I found myself at a crossroads, yearning for professional advancement and financial security. Although becoming a nurse practitioner seemed like the logical next step, my heart wasn’t fully invested in that direction. While I cherished caring for my patients and working with an incredible team of clinicians, I was dissatisfied with the work-life balance, financial prospects, and limited growth opportunities, but still wanted to provide clinical value.

My journey towards a career in medical device sales began when I stumbled upon Samuel’s enlightening podcast, The Medical Sales Podcast. After months of avidly listening to his episodes and delving deeper into the industry, I was convinced that a move into medical device sales was the right path for me. I placed my trust in the EYS program to expedite and ensure my success in this transition.

The EYS team goes above and beyond to not only help students break into the industry and secure life-changing salaries but also to ensure that the job is a good fit for them, setting them up for long-term success. The program’s comprehensive curriculum, practical tools, mock interviews, and interactive classes not only evolved my professional skills but also evolved the perception I had of my value and transformed my self-confidence to succeed in this new industry, which had been the reason I was initially dragging my feet.

If you find yourself yearning for change but hesitant to take the leap alone, look no further than EYS. I wholeheartedly endorse this program for its focus on career development, personal growth, and job satisfaction, prioritizing fulfillment over mere financial gain. EYS equips you with the tools to achieve both happiness and success in your career.

Please note that this program is not an “easy” in, they provide the tools but you must put in 100% of the work and that work is what prepares you for success once you land that dream job!

Thanks again to an incredible team that dedicates their time to changing so many lives!

I just got Pharmaceutical Sales Rep job offer! I want to thank the Medical Sales Career Builder; this wouldn’t have been possible without them! Before enrolling in the Medical Sales Career Builder, I had applied to several roles and was not being invited to interview for any of the roles. I was researching YouTube, podcasts, and any article I could find to try to gain more knowledge of getting into the industry.

I was hesitant to invest into the MSCB program, but after reading reviews on Samuel’s LinkedIn page from previous graduates, I knew it was going to be one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Sure enough, after just 4 weeks of applying the necessary steps from MSCB program, I landed my dream job! It gave me the resources and confidence needed to not only land an interview quickly, but to outshine the other candidates interviewing for the role in a big way.

Even if you have no previous experience in the industry, the MSCB gives you the resources to feel overly prepared and more than ready for every step of the interview process. When you show up 100% to the program, you will achieve the results you are looking for. I will be utilizing what I have learned from this program for the rest of my career and I’m so thankful that I took the step in giving it a try. Thank you again to Samuel and the team for being so supportive and making such an impact on my career!

I successfully broke into medical device sales and landed a job with one of my top companies-
 
After working as a nurse for 9 years, I wanted to find a role with more opportunities for growth, not to mention financial stability, but also to make the change in healthcare I became a nurse to do.

Before enrolling in the Medical Sales Career Builder, I tried for over 2 years to break into the medical device industry, submitting upwards of 150 applications and even though I did get close to an offer twice, mainly I received countless generic rejection emails. I was feeling defeated and thought maybe this industry wasn’t for me. I saw that a nurse I worked with recently got a job with Medtronic. I reached out immediately and said, “how did you do it??” She responded with EYS. I immediately booked a discovery call with April.

Talking to April was a breath of fresh air. She was a clinician herself and knew my pain. I knew I wanted in. My only hesitation was there was no guarantee. I remember asking on my discovery call about this and she responded with, we have a 100% success rate, if you put the work in. I took some time to think it over and ultimately came to this- nothing in life is truly guaranteed. I’ve been trying for this for so long, what do I have to lose?

Going through the Medical Sales Career Builder program gave me complete break down of all the proper steps to take, interview preparation, how to network and build your LinkedIn profile in order to land your dream job, and it worked! Not only do they provide the tools, but they teach you how to evaluate yourself and potential companies to ensure it’s a good long term fit, which is so important.

The support and guidance from experienced medical device professionals was like nothing I could have imagined and so valuable. Jules gave me the confidence to own my previous experience and that it absolutely offers transferable skills to this industry. Blake was a constant support system, encouraging me through the process.

If you’ve been trying to break into this industry with no success, I highly recommend joining the Medical Sales Career Builder program. They give you all the tools and teach you everything you need to be set up for success, you just have to put the work in.

Thanks again to the EYS team, I am so excited for this next chapter in my career and I’m so thankful I took the chance on myself!
