Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a time you missed a sales goal. What did you learn and what did you change?
What they are checking: Whether they own results and adjust, given that meeting or exceeding goals is the first line of the job.
How do you learn a new product fast enough to support it in surgery?
What they are checking: Their learning habits, since the role expects constant product knowledge growth through training and attending cases.
Tell me about a time you built a relationship with a hard-to-reach decision maker.
What they are checking: Persistence and relationship skill, which drive results in a territory sales role like this one.
What would you do
Walk me through how you would gain trust with an orthopedic trauma surgeon in Green Bay who has used a competitor's plates for ten years.
What they are checking: Whether they have a patient, credible plan to win surgeons rather than expecting fast conversions.
Trauma cases come in at all hours. Tell me how you would handle being called in for a hip fracture case at 2 a.m.
What they are checking: Whether they understand and accept the unpredictable schedule that trauma coverage demands.
In the OR, a surgeon asks you a technique question you are not sure about. What do you do?
What they are checking: Honesty and judgment in the room, where guessing can hurt a patient and the company's credibility.
A surgeon gives you feedback that an instrument is awkward to use. What do you do with that?
What they are checking: Whether they pass field insights back to product development, which the posting names as a duty.
About the work
Explain the difference between a locking plate and a non-locking plate and when a surgeon might choose one over the other.
What they are checking: Baseline knowledge of trauma implants and surgical technique that the posting says they must master.
How would you make sure the right sets and implants are at the hospital before a case starts?
What they are checking: Their attention to inventory and case prep, since a missing instrument in the OR damages trust fast.
How would you work with OR staff, sterile processing and purchasing at a hospital, not just the surgeon?
What they are checking: Whether they see the whole account and the people who can quietly block or speed up a sale.
What do you know about the rules for how device reps interact with surgeons, like meals and consulting?
What they are checking: Awareness of compliance limits in medical device sales, which the company expects reps to follow.
