Description
What do you do when two top physicians both expect your full attention and neither wants to share?
Lisa and Cindy break down one of the toughest, least-talked-about challenges in medical device sales: managing competing KOLs without burning out or losing credibility. This isn’t about time management, it's about leadership under pressure.
In this episode, they share real stories, hard-earned lessons, and the exact mindset elite reps use to stay trusted, respected, and in control without choosing sides. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the middle, this conversation is for you.
