Today we have a special guest, Lauren Lewis, a member of our medical device sales course. Lauren recently broke into medical device sales with one of the largest companies in the world, and I’m excited for her to share her journey with you. At 27, Lauren’s path took her from sales at Cintas to medical device sales. So, let’s dive into her inspiring story!

From Softball to Sales

Lauren’s journey began on the softball field, where she played through college at Kentucky and Samford University. After graduation, she explored sales roles and eventually landed at Cintas, where she excelled. "I was there for about a year and four months, and I put up really good numbers there," Lauren shares. This experience helped her transition into medical device sales.

Lessons from Cintas

At Cintas, Lauren learned valuable skills like cold calling and networking. "Getting told no over and over again, it’s a whole numbers game," she says, emphasizing how important it is to stay persistent. This resilience helped her navigate the tough interview process for medical device sales roles.

The Interview Roller Coaster

Lauren’s interview journey was anything but smooth. She faced unusual questions and rejections but stayed focused. "I came in second—runner-up—to get the position. He said that I could be a great candidate but not for that position," Lauren recalls. Despite setbacks, she kept applying and networking until she landed the right offer.

Part 4: Key Takeaways

• Stay Persistent: Lauren’s journey shows the importance of not giving up, even after setbacks.

Final Thoughts

Lauren’s story teaches us the value of persistence, adaptability, and self-belief. Even thought she went to Cintas to get B2B experience it wasn’t the only answer! She was able to learn from our program what she need to do to stand out. Success in medical device sales—or any competitive industry requires staying determined, learning from each setback, and being open to new opportunities. By staying resilient and trusting the process, Lauren was able to secure a position that aligned with her goals, proving that perseverance can overcome even the toughest obstacles.
