The Part of Medical Sales Nobody Talks About
Thu Feb 05 2026
🎙️ In this episode of The DEVICE Girls, we’re joined by Victoria Horsman a medical aesthetics rep who went from orthopedic trauma to medical aesthetics and is now building Her Closing Code to help more women break into medical sales.
Victoria gets real about what it actually took to break in (risk, moving, being the only girl in the room), what ortho taught her about earning respect, and why aesthetics is so much more than “glam” when you understand the impact on confidence and patient experience.
If you’re curious about medical aesthetics sales, trying to break into medical device, or you want a real “day in the life” from someone who’s lived the grind, this one’s for you.
✅ Episode highlights:
• Victoria’s path from personal training to medical sales (and why she quit without a backup plan)
• The reality of orthopedic trauma (on-call life, OR pressure, being underestimated)
• How to earn surgeon respect (attention to detail, preparation, preferences)
• Transitioning into aesthetics sales and why networking changed everything
• What an aesthetic rep actually does (demos, trainings, samples, relationship building)
• Standing out in interviews and selling yourself with confidence
• Her Closing Code: the mission, community vision, and what’s next
• Rapid fire: coffee order, pump-up anthem, and more
