CRAIG PALMER
EYES WIDE | SEE EVERYTHING
"You don’t need another generic career coach. You need someone who’s been on the hiring side of hundreds of interviews — and knows what it takes to win."
WHO IS CRAIG PALMER?
CREATION | INNOVATION | TRANSFORMATION
Built and developed sales teams in both clinical and commercial settings

FROM BUILDING SALES TEAMS TO BUILDING SALES PROS
Sales Leader + Trainer | Keynote Speaker | Podcaster | Lifelong Closer
I’ve interviewed THOUSANDS of candidates, and hired HUNDREDS of reps for med-tech, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies from coast to coast. I’ve trained rookies into rockstars and turned teams around that were dead in the water.
Now I help individual reps, like YOU, win before you even step into the room.
This is more than resume tweaks and elevator pitches. This is real coaching from someone who’s been on both sides of the interview table — who knows how to spot the difference between a maybe and a must-hire.
"Craig has a rather distinguished track-record of creating and executing clinical, go to market, and commercial strategies that have transformed the trajectory of therapeutic adoption. A tenacious and driven competitor with an emphasis on problem solving, tangible goal setting, and tangible goal achievement. A dedicated, passionate, and transparent leader who will recruit the best and brightest, and work every day to ensure they are committed, rewarded, and fulfilled."
Together, we will bring tomorrow into today, and redefine what is possible.
