What to optimize

Headline that converts

Stop using generic titles. Use target role + value + searchable keywords recruiters actually use.

About section that sells

Write a tight 6–10 line story: who you are, why med sales, proof, and what you’re targeting.

Keywords and skills

LinkedIn is a search engine. Medical sales keywords help recruiters find you faster.

Experience translation

Translate past roles into territory, outcomes, relationships, and performance—without fluff.

Headline examples that work

  • Medical Sales Candidate | Territory Management • Physician Relationships • Revenue Growth
  • Entry-Level Medical Device Sales | Clinical Education • Account Development • CRM
  • Pharmaceutical Sales Candidate | HCP Engagement • Territory Planning • Performance Metrics

Tip: Use the target role + 2–3 keyword themes (territory, physician relationships, clinical education, CRM).

Quick LinkedIn checklist

  • Headline includes: target role + territory/industry keywords + value
  • Photo is professional, clear, and industry-aligned
  • About section has: who/why/proof/target roles
  • Experience uses outcomes + numbers (wins, growth, scope)
  • Skills include medical sales keywords (device/pharma/territory/CRM)
  • Activity is consistent (comments/posts weekly)

Best practices that increase recruiter replies

  • Write like a rep: outcomes, territory, stakeholders, and consistency (not buzzwords).
  • Use numbers: rankings, growth, volume, scope, awards, performance metrics.
  • Make your target clear: device, pharma, diagnostics, associate/territory roles.
  • Keep your About section short and structured—recruiters scan, not read essays.
  • Post or comment weekly to stay visible (even 5 minutes/week helps).
