"I would assume it to be 5-10% of the overall purchase price of the unit. Base salary may be in the $35-$50K range plus expenses  "

"Should have a base of about 65 to 75K with ability to make 100K with expenses paid.  Good luck and email me if you want more details or connect with recruiters.  I am not a recruiter by the way.   Bill dentalsalespro@gmail.com"

Compensation

I am wondering what sort of compensation would be offered for a dental rep position of an open-architecture CAD/CAM system : table top scanner, designing software and a mill the size of an in-lab. The position would include sales, set-up, training, entertaining customers, trade shows, speaking and travel over the eastern half of the US. Those are the only particulars I can share. Thanks.

My sales journey

Posted on January 13, 2009 at 11:00am 1 Comment

I was officially “bona fide”. Like Holly Hunter in “O Brother Where Art Thou”, I vaguely knew the meaning of the word, but it was the first one that came to mind when I received the official job offer and concomitant, company, coffee mug, professionally embraced by clear crinkle wrap, tied with a scissor-curled ribbon. I didn’t hang my diploma on my wall, but that darn cup was the proudest addition that I ever displayed. Whenever someone asked me how I had become a dental technician after… Continue

I am moving to Nashville and am wanting to get into Dental sales. Can you help me out with this or know someone that might be able to?

Believe me you wouldn't. Not only boring, but it makes you realize how messed up the US tax system is. Anyway glad to see that things are moving along for you.

Kara,

I called him and he acted like he did not know who you were. I am still trying to get into this industry. Can you help?

Ah, I guess I jumped the gun. I am sure the practical exam will be more fun anyway.

Kara, I see that you had 18 years on the bench. I am curious how did you transition into sales. I too have been on the bench for 18 years and am considering transitioning into another facet of dentistry.
