How can I get a medical sales job with no prior medical sales experience?

I just registered on a hot new job board for medical sales jobs, http://www.gorillamedicalsales.com .  But, my sales experience in not in the medical area.  Will I still be able to interest the medical sales recruiters who post jobs on GorillaMed?

Hi Steve. Assuming you have general sales experience, I think you have a good chance of getting an interview for such a job. Just be sure to project an air of eagerness to learn and excel at medical sales at the interview. Be prepared to take a lower salary in the beginning while you are learning the ins and outs of the industry. Good luck!

I always say, a salesman is a salesman -  Like poochlover said, expect an entry level salary until you learn the tricks of the trade.
