About Ashlyn Hudson

As a current Regional Sales Director and former national-level Sales Training Manager with CooperSurgical, I’ve been a key contributor to driving regional sales growth, developing a top-performing team of 13 sales reps, assisting reps with negotiating/closing deals with key accounts, and developing sales training strategies/programs to to support the aggressive global sales force expansion and new market penetration for the US and international sales force. I’m currently developing, leading, coaching, and mentoring a team of 13 sales reps in the Surgical Business Unit selling medical devices, disposables, and capital equipment to hospitals and outpatient centers in a large Northeast US region ranked #3 in the US with $20+ million in annual revenue. In my previous Sales Training Manager role, I won 2020 Bronze President’s Award and 2019 President’s Club for sales training accomplishments; administered the sales training budget; developed comprehensive training programs for new product launches; and assisted Sales Directors with interviewing/hiring decisions for new reps. In addition, I have been able to develop a high-performing sales team, motivate reps to exceed expectations, and optimize sales training effectiveness by leveraging my background as a sales leader, sales trainer, and sales rep along with a competitive drive as a former NCAA Division I athlete.
