Just curious if any recruiters had any hope they could give me. I’ve worked at Chevy dealership the last 15 years and I was hoping to transition into medical sales. Most of the positions I see require a degree, and I do not have one. Any thoughts on me being legitimately considered without? Any tips to help mitigate being under qualified? Thanks a bunch!

Fifteen years in one dealership tells me you understand relationships, retention, upselling, and objection handling. Medical sales cares about performance, not just degrees. I would target associate roles, highlight revenue impact, and network aggressively with reps and managers.

Absolutely, I worked in Energy and Broadband sale's for year's and got a job with a medical supply company, without a degree?
I did have an electrical engineering background, not sure if that made a difference, but it wasn't the most enjoyable job, I ever had to be honest.

You’re likely going to struggle to bridge yo gap between your retail sales background and B2B sales in a highly competitive space. Network hard and be ready to take a step back in your career to change paths.

Thanks for the input. I do have a large customer base in business to business / fleet accounts. I’m not sure if that helps me to not. Any other advice moving backwards? Thanks again.

I would still apply, even without a degree. I have seen plenty of sales jobs hire people for their experience, even without a degree. I definitely think it is still worth applying to see what they say.

I would push the fact that you have an automotive background as well, it's not that you're a complete novice, especially if it was EV business/ fleet accounts, even if it wasn't EV , I would be pushing the fact about your knowledge of spec. and building relationships with clients.

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.
