Description

In this episode, industry veteran Todd Crowder shares powerful insights on professional presence in medical sales — from wardrobe choices to workplace dynamics. Drawing clever parallels between interviews and first dates, Todd explains why business dress still matters and how details like grooming and attire can shape first impressions in both virtual and in-person settings.

We dive into the complex role of appearance in the medical device industry, including how visible tattoos, piercings, and personal style can impact hiring outcomes. Todd offers thoughtful advice on navigating these challenges — especially for minorities and Black women — in environments where unconscious bias may still be present. The conversation expands into the evolving landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and how candidates can stay grounded while navigating shifting professional expectations.

Todd also speaks directly to older professionals making a career pivot into medical sales. He breaks down how to turn life experience into a strategic asset, tackle ageism with confidence, and prepare financially for the transition. We wrap with a candid look at maintaining professionalism in male-dominated industries and offer practical communication tips for building strong, respectful relationships on the job.

Packed with real talk, personal stories, and actionable advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break into or level up in medical sales.
