What Success Looks Like
- At mature territory performance, consistently generate at least 29 qualified AAC referrals per month.
- At mature territory performance, consistently produce at least 20 qualified delivered devices per month.
- Operate as a true field representative: normally in the assigned market five days per week, with the majority of each workday spent in the field unless business needs, order workload, or leadership direction require otherwise.
- Build sustainable production through new-account development, productive referral relationships, account penetration, and consistent follow-through—not solely through inherited business.
- Maintain disciplined territory planning and CRM documentation so activity, referrals, opportunities, barriers, and next actions are visible and actionable.
- Build meaningful adult rehabilitation and medical referral channels in addition to pediatric and therapy-based sources, including hospital and rehabilitation relationships where appropriate.
- Develop a balanced referral network across relevant healthcare call points and convert field activity into measurable referral and delivery growth.
- Work closely with the AAC Speech-Language Pathologist and other internal teams to resolve barriers quickly and keep viable opportunities moving.
What You Will Do
- Develop referral relationships with SLP clinics, hospitals, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, PM&R, neurology, developmental pediatrics, pediatric practices, ABA/autism programs, home health, private-duty nursing, universities, and other appropriate healthcare/community sources.
- Prospect continuously for new referral opportunities and open new healthcare accounts.
- Protect and grow productive existing accounts while maintaining an active portfolio of strategic referral sources.
- Conduct professional in-services, presentations, lunch-and-learns, referral-process education, and product demonstrations.
- Coordinate demos, trials, evaluations/consults, and local equipment logistics as needed.
- Support required in-person deliveries and customer follow-up.
- Work closely with AAC Speech-Language Pathologists on clinical opportunities and unresolved clinic/SLP barriers.
- Complete assigned in-person interventions when remote efforts have not resolved a case barrier, documenting the result and next action clearly.
- Use referral, account, activity, and production data to manage the territory and prioritize time.
- Represent the organization professionally with clinicians, physicians, patients, caregivers, and healthcare organizations.
You May Be a Strong Fit If You
- Have a demonstrated history of success in healthcare, medical-device, pharmaceutical, DME, specialty, or consultative field sales.
- Enjoy developing new business rather than simply servicing an existing book of accounts.
- Can establish professional credibility with hospitals, clinics, physician practices, rehabilitation organizations, and clinical decision-makers.
- Are comfortable being measured on tangible referral, delivery, and territory-development results.
- Are highly organized and consistently follow through on commitments.
- Use CRM and data as tools to manage your business.
- Want a field-heavy role with meaningful compensation upside tied directly to performance.
- Enjoy working with both clinical and commercial professionals in a team-based healthcare environment.
