Dental Sales Jobs

Dental sales is a challenging, gratifying role as a high earner, with excellent opportunities for career progression into other medical and related areas.

For dental sales jobs, candidates need to be highly motivated people, with a strong-willed determination to succeed. They need to be able to demonstrate a real insight into what motivates dental businesses, together with excellent communications skills. Candidates who already have prior experience as a dental sales representative or a successful sales track record in other industry will be preferred.

With the dental marketplace changing dramatically, there is a strong shift to private practice, a very business oriented approach in both the private and public sectors, and a buoyant orthodontic and cosmetic sector which has opened up a new exciting era for dental sales jobs.

Dental sales jobs are therefore changing, offering new challenges and new opportunities for career development. Products can range from anaesthetics to prosthetics, from equipment and surgical instruments to consumables.

In dental sales time is money, so a key requirement of the role is persistence – getting in front of decision makers and key influencers. It also involves strong territory management skills, maximising coverage and face-to-face contact.
