CONMED’s Advanced Surgical (AS) 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 Madeline, a Regional Sales Associate – Smoke Technology, who works with us in Buffalo, NY.

Why did you choose CONMED?

I chose CONMED for two main reasons - compassion & opportunity. The compassion the company has for each of its employees, between departments, upper management to new employees and everyone in between. Also, the compassion this position holds for not only patient outcomes - but healthcare workers as a whole. CONMED is a unique company because they set you up to learn through a “care, grow, deliver” mentality!

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

My favorite part of this role is learning something new every day while working alongside such respected people in the industry. There is not a day that goes by that I am not learning something new & asking a question that gets answered!

What does a typical day look like for you?

One great thing about my role is every day is different than the last! Most commonly, my day consists of assisting the Sales Representatives in my territory with implementation and increasing compliance of smoke evacuation plume pens. I go into the operating room and target different surgeons each day. I aslo touch base with surgeons who are loyal to CONMED and Buffalo Filter to make sure there is nothing else I can do to make their experience better. My goal each day is to work with new surgeons and find the perfect fit for them to go smoke free.

What do you think makes you successful in this role?

I think my successes in this role so far have come directly from being comfortable being uncomfortable! As my first role in medical device - some conversations can be intimidating, but with the guidance of Sales Representatives, Field Sales Trainers, and Regional Sales Director, I have been able to gain confidence in the role and continue to conquer different hurdles each day and week!
