Joe spent 20+ years selling for Boston Scientific and Baxter Healthcare. He ran territories. He hired reps. He knows exactly what separates the candidates who get offers from the ones who get rejection emails.

Why breaking into medical sales in Buffalo is hard without a coach

Roswell Park is one of only 57 NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the US. For oncology device, radiation therapy, and diagnostics reps, Buffalo carries national-account weight that the metro's population size does not suggest.

A Roswell reference account gives reps credibility that translates nationally. It is the single most valuable relationship in this metro for oncology specialists.

Joe has seen these patterns from every angle. He has sold into the Buffalo hospital systems. He has sat on the hiring side and interviewed dozens of candidates for roles at the exact kinds of companies candidates try to break into. That experience is what RepPath hands you when you enroll.
