So, it looks like I have a new career. I am now a regional sales manager for Orthopedic Surgery Recovery Devices. This should be fun.
I can get into details later, but this means cold and heat therapy machine, braces, Constant Passive Motion devices, and a whole slew of other products.
if you are wondering how I talked my way into this job, let’s just say I know what the fuck I’m talking about
My territory will be Wyoming and Montana, and possibly down to Salt Lake City.
Home office is in Windsor, CO.
They will pay me to visit hospitals instead of me paying the hospitals!
More to come.
pretty stoked so far.

does this include recovery doobies?

also, that's tangentially related to my industry.

 

[boostindoubles]

Sounds dentisty. Congo rats!

 

[Westy]

I assume as sales manager your primary responsibility will be the hooker and cocaine budget.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Does that mean occasional trips down to the home office??

 

[rideit]

Indeed. Even if they dont want me to.

Congratulations...I think. I don't miss that rat race as a regional sales manager at all. Left that crap in 2000 and never looked back. Made less money but I am happy as hell with the path I went down

Good luck to you sir

sales rep travelling to hospitals equals....

the guy who buys free lunches for the staff.....enjoy trying to do that shit at the last minute....

what is your budget for that?

 

[rideit]

Covered.

There was a time where you may have trusted me to work on your bike. I was a trusted mechanic. I knew my shit.

I'd rather sleep in but the job itself is easy as hell. I was more referring to going from sales to becoming a Firefighter Medic....you know one of those losers as Trump likes to call us. Most rewarding life changing things I have ever done in my life. I would do those years on the engine all over again in a heart beat if given the chance for a do over.

Not bad seems like there are endless needs in healthcare.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Congrats on the new gig!

 

[StiHacka]

Congrats! Now can you sell me something that will make me sleep better?

 

[Toshi]

I thought device sales people were usually blonde, young, and female. Go figure

Boner pills? Not my division.

 

[canadmos]

Isn't there a movie about this?

See hooker reference above.

A riding buddy if mine was in dental device sales. One day I got a letter at my house in his name from the Florida department of corrections.

He got busted trying to line up 'escorts' for his customers at a convention. He used my address so his GF wouldn't find out. He said it was standard practice. I stopped riding with him after that.

You tried Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Extra tea? Kind of a random suggestion, but that stuff knocks me out and makes me dream.

 

[Full Trucker]

So have you started yet? Sold anything? Are you still not-blonde and not-hot?

 

[rideit]

Yes, I started, it’s fun, and I like it. The company is great. But due to the fact that all elective surgeries might soon be cancelled, my on boarding will be a slower than usual process. But there is still tons of networking to be done. In fact, Doctors/PA’s might be easier to reach with less workload.

must be nice being in a section of the united states where 200 plus pound nurses are not the norm...

Fixed!

Funny you say that, Steve, as one of our categories is Constant Passive Motion machines, which are generally recommended for the more...inactive...patients. The typical Jackson demographic doesn’t need them. However, the rest of my territories are FULL of fatties.
