Being one of the founders of Rep Network (the largest independent salesforce) and serving as the company’s Managing Partner for Finance and Operations gave her an extensive rolodex and knowledge. Tamara being an experienced entrepreneur consulted on multiple projects during the pandemic which has driven her to launch another independent sales force called By Design Medical.  Tamara brings a long track record in sourcing the best products and services, developing protocols for successful business training and management, including financial stability, corporate structure, operational frameworks and process management.  She is a guru of organizational discipline and enablement. Tamara has long recognized her greatest success in helping others succeed. As a Rep Network partner she established an infrastructure to train and manage over 700 reps and launched over 80 products so it’s no surprise that she’s entering the medical world again to take it by storm.
