CONMED’s Advanced Surgical salesforce comprises extremely talented and highly motivated sales professionals with a passion to empower healthcare providers to deliver exceptional outcomes for patients. To further our mission to Clear the Air®, we recently introduced a new smoke technology focused role to our AS team. Read below to learn more about Daniel, a Regional Sales Associate – Smoke Technology, who works with us in Chicago, IL.

Why did you choose CONMED?

Culture. CONMED is truly a company that puts its clients and employees first. Throughout my interview process, I interacted with employees in various positions and ranks. Everyone that I spoke with from top to bottom echoed and demonstrated the same values and vision. There was something special going on and I needed to be a part of it! On top of that, they also provide some of the most innovative products in healthcare - this made the decision a no-brainer.

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

From day one you are making a difference! In my short time here, I have already had the chance to interact with healthcare workers who feel they have been negatively impacted by surgical plume. Their stories are powerful, and it makes me feel empowered to go out and help protect others from those dangers. My favorite part of this job is the fulfillment that I get from it!

What does a typical day look like for you?

Perhaps an extension of the previous question - I love the fact that my days are not typical! My ideal day, however, would be visiting existing accounts in the morning to provide case support - the goal being to drive utilization of our smoke products and making myself available as a resource. In the afternoons, once cases for the day have typically slowed, I am looking to visit new accounts to introduce our products and increase smoke business.

What do you think makes you successful in this role?

Action with passion. I believe in this company’s mission; I believe in the team around me, and I have seen firsthand the difference CONMED’s Smoke products make in people’s lives. This motivates me to pursue as many interactions on a daily basis as possible and my passion for smoke-free operating rooms is always on display. When people know you genuinely care about them and have their best interest at heart - success (in many forms) takes care of itself!
