Marketing & Sales Profile
Dalia Zuniga is a sales representative for a major medical equipment company. She typically travels extensively in a sales area that covers most of a metropolitan area 4/5 days a week and meets with doctors, nurse practitioners and other medical buyers. She is responsible for promoting medical equipment and providing technical information about her company's products. Occasionally, she works long hours identifying new practices to market and completing the extensive paperwork required by her employer. She loves working with professionals, learning new things, and being dressed up on the job. She finds the downside of the job to be the dealing with rejection when her customers choose another company's product and the stress of covering her extensive territory.
