I’ve been in a clinical specialist role for nearly 7 years with several wins. How can I best position myself to transition to sales?

What is your original background before being a CS? Maybe it’s time for a new company. I moved into a sales role after a year and left my company.
Clinicals can be task oriented and take direction. You have to show the drive that you can own the sales cycle and pipeline. Focus on driving the business and the numbers as well. How is your sales partner is he/she supportive? Is their room for you to grow there?

You should ask for a promotion to Territory Manager or apply for that position with other companies.

Serious question:

As a Registered Nurse with 11 years sales experience, why am I constantly turned down for healthcare-related sales roles? Yet on the flip side, I've gotten tons of offers in industrial or engineering spaces.

I've worked PRN as a nurse while I've been in sales. All of my sales roles were engineering-based in mechanical tools or chemicals. I've sold into various industries (energy, O&G, aerospace, pharma, HI&I, water treatment, etc). Just looking to get back to my roots.
