Read below to learn more about Taylor, a Regional Sales Associate – Smoke Technology, who works with us in Portland, Oregon.

Why did you choose CONMED?

I chose CONMED because of the opportunity to make a positive impact on the health, safety, and well-being of healthcare providers. Not only does the CONMED team encourage personal growth and provide me with the tools necessary to develop professionally, they also empower me with the clinical knowledge to add significant value in the operating room.

The Smoke Technology position is new to CONMED. What is your favorite part about this role?

The best part of my role is the ability to form trustworthy and durable partnerships with the sales professionals in my geography. I have always relished being part of a team as a reliable resource, and this role allows me to shine by delivering expertise to CONMED’s internal and external customers.

What does a typical day look like for you?

On any given day, you can find me supporting our smoke evacuation products in surgery, educating healthcare providers and hospital administration on the benefits of a smoke-free operating room, and strategizing with our Territory Managers on the ways in which we can help transform surgery into a healthier and safer environment for all stakeholders involved.

What do you think makes you successful in this role?

The aspect most central to my success is maintaining excellent communication with my teammates. Through daily and weekly cadence calls with our Territory Managers, I have learned effectively and efficiently by carefully listening and observing each of their individual styles. This has helped me formulate my own support style. Additionally, strong organization really helps me be proactive, keep track of all the moving pieces within the geography, and create contingency plans when things change last-minute.
