Victory in medical sales requires Division I competitiveness, a palate for humble pie, a wizard’s touch for pulling POs out of thin air, a geeky curiosity about all things medical, the patience of a preschool teacher, luck, relationships and of course…the driving stamina of a long haul trucker!
Want to get a little more out of that windshield time and maybe even enjoy it? Here are some great podcasts for the road…
For reps in the OR
Ever wonder why scrubs are green, where instruments get their names or who performed the first laparoscopy? Get ready to geek it out and look like a knowledgeable stud with these great surgical podcasts:

Your Customer’s Perspective
As the wise old rep once said, “our doctors have forgotten more than you’ll ever learn.” That may be true but we can still try. Here are some podcasts by doctors for doctors. What’s their world really like, what keeps them up at night and what are they really thinking about? Explore and enjoy:
