As of Nov 6, 2026, there are 136 live long-term care sales postings. Median advertised annual base: $141,375 (n=91), versus $130,000 nationally.
Skilled nursing, assisted living and post-acute facilities — wound care, incontinence, nutrition, pharmacy services and diagnostics that travel to the resident. The buyers are the director of nursing and the facility administrator, and the economics are census-driven: what a facility can afford follows how many beds are full and how they are reimbursed. Relationships run deep and turn over slowly. Much less technical than the operating room and much more about coverage — a territory here is a list of buildings you are expected to be in regularly. It is one of the more realistic entry points for someone coming from another industry. 136 open roles right now. Every listing here either names this setting in the posting itself or names a product line that is only sold in one place — never a guess from the employer's industry.

As of Nov 6, 2026, 42 matching postings state a minimum of zero to two years, while 11 do not state a minimum. These are stated experience requirements, not a guarantee of entry-level eligibility. A posting can require industry experience, a credential or a particular background separately; read the employer's qualifications before applying.
The median advertised annual base is $141,375, calculated from 91 qualifying postings as of Nov 6, 2026. This uses each published range's midpoint and excludes hourly rates and on-target earnings. It measures advertised base pay, not take-home pay or first-year total compensation. 79% publish a numeric pay range of any kind.
The largest matching employer counts as of Nov 6, 2026 are Axsome Therapeutics (32), BrightSpring Health (15), Smith+Nephew (14). These are currently advertised postings on MedSales Radar, not a complete census of hiring or proof of expansion. Counts can change after an employer refreshes its careers site; use the linked listings to check current requirements and locations.
2 of 136 matching postings are flagged remote as of Nov 6, 2026, meaning worked from home with no field territory; 50 state a travel percentage. A field role run from a home office is not counted as remote, because it involves customer visits and a defined territory. A missing remote flag does not establish an office requirement, and an unstated travel percentage does not mean no travel. Confirm territory and travel expectations with the employer.
