They are smart.
They work hard.
They have skills.
But, they ignore the non-negotiables.
Entering Medical Device or Pharma Sales is tough.
The interview process is unforgiving.
Standards are high for a reason.
The four non-negotiables ⤵
➨ College degree
➨ Clean driving record (No DWI)
➨ Background check
➨ Drug test
Yes, someone can get hired without a college degree.
That usually takes 10+ years of proven sales success or specific work experience in Healthcare.
That happens.
Sometimes.
It’s rare.
95% of reps at top companies have a 4-year degree.
This is the standard.
Not my rule.
A DWI is often a hard stop.
Insurance. Hospital access. Trust.
Fail a background check or drug test?
The process usually ends.
