I’ve been only there 3 months thinking of quitting and I feel so much resistance opening my material and reading through things.

I don’t even know how to explain this properly but I need help from people who’ve been through this or have genuinely unhinged, practical hacks because I feel like I’m drowning in my own head at work.

I started a new job in medical sales/visits (general practitioners + specialists: cardiology, urology, nephrology, endocrinology). In theory I *know* things. I have materials, a tablet, product info, everything is there. In reality, the moment I walk into a doctor’s office my brain just… shuts down.

I don’t transition properly into the product discussion. I get stuck in awkward small talk or panic silence. I end up basically rushing out, sometimes just leaving samples without really presenting anything properly, because I feel this intense internal pressure and shame while I’m there. Then afterwards I overthink everything and feel worse.

Now my manager is going to start accompanying me after 3 months and I’m panicking because I already feel like I’m failing at the basics. I keep thinking he’ll be disappointed or judge me, and I’m spiraling into this loop where I avoid doing the exact thing I’m supposed to improve at.

It’s not even just “nervousness.” It feels like my brain flips into survival mode. I know what I *should* do in theory but I can’t smoothly move from conversation → product explanation → closing questions. That transition is where everything breaks.

I also feel like I’m carrying way too much mental pressure at once:

* proving I’m not incompetent * proving I didn’t make a mistake leaving my previous job * proving I deserve to be here * not looking lost in front of doctors or my boss

And it’s making everything worse.

What I need are NOT generic “be confident” tips. I need:

* scripts people actually used when they were frozen * weird hacks to force yourself into the product part of the visit * ways to stop escaping early * anything practical that breaks the panic loop in real time * how people structured visits so they didn’t have to think too much in the moment

Even if it sounds a bit extreme or “unprofessional” I honestly don’t care anymore, I just want something that works.

If you’ve ever felt like your brain completely disconnects under pressure at work, especially in client-facing roles, I really need to hear what actually helped you function again.

Hi everyone, I’m a medical representative and I’ve been working for 3 months. Honestly, I still feel completely lost and I don’t really understand what I’m doing day to day or how to properly organize my visits.

I’m already on my 3rd and 4th meetings with some doctors, but I don’t really know how to prepare for them or how to structure the visit. Each day I feel more overwhelmed and less sure of what I’m supposed to do.

I’m also afraid to ask my supervisors because I feel like I should already have figured this out by now, but the truth is it’s getting harder instead of easier.

I keep hearing about different tools, strategies, and trainings, but I don’t really know what would actually help at this stage or how to start properly.

If anyone has experience in this field or can guide me, or even suggest any useful (even paid) training programs that could help me understand the job better and become more organized, I would really appreciate it.

Any advice or guidance is very welcome.

Hey everyone, I really need advice. I’ve been working as a medical representative for 3 months, and I honestly feel stuck and overwhelmed. I don’t feel like I understand my role properly or how to organize my visits in a structured way, and I’m starting to think about quitting. I’m already doing follow-ups with some doctors, but I feel lost during the visits and I don’t really know what I’m supposed to focus on or how to improve. I feel a bit ashamed because I feel like I should have figured this out by now, but instead I feel more confused every day. I’m also afraid to ask too many questions to my supervisors, even though I probably need guidance. I keep hearing about different methods, tools, and trainings, but I don’t know what is actually useful at my level. If anyone has been through this or can guide me, or recommend any training (even paid) that helps build structure and confidence in this job, I would really appreciate it.
