guys im about done. We had a meeting with materials managers at my level 1. In passing I found out the Synthes CMF rep is doing close to 700k in rib and sternal biz. I cant touch that. Our portfolio sucks. Were supposed to have a system. But when. Im getting skunked in the compensation race because u dont have these options in my bag. I think im out
Ditto my friend. But in my area its KLS????? WTF the KLS rep is killing it in rib. Those things bill at 15k a case? Im losing to KLS. Its pathetic.
stryker cmf missed the boat on thoracic products. still more then a year before they have something. meanwhile, enjoy your 700$ craniotomies! I have to run, my next rib will likely bill out over 20k for a few hours of work.
I dont know fellas I've been hearing we might buy that Ribloc crap. Hey doc hang this weak ass giant plate on the rib please. Its only being used by 10 docs in the whole country. With Stryker behind it we may get 25 docs to use it. I'm already benching 4 plates just thinking about it. PUMP!
Go back and plate a 6 hour mandable and make your 300 buck commish, you ingrates. Ribs are for eating.
owning 35% of the CMF market is like winning the special Olympics. go team go, hoorah, don't skip leg day
Ha losers I convert Stryker docs to my company stuff in CMF on the regular. Your screws blow and getting a tech to understand your sets in the case is like pulling teeth. Plus your crap gets mailed out days or weeks late for restock. Actually its the KLS docs that never switch back (their stuff is garbage but they fly out their top brass on the regular to hug docs and throw cash at them like its raining so they keep biz)
as much as i hate this website I read it every few months. This thread has to much truth in it to be avoided. The CMF biz here seems like such a waste. Can I sell some Mako. Har Har
CMF biz everywhere is garbage. From innovation to declining ASP's. DUMPSTER FIRE. Rib plating is the only way to survive.
Anyone have any updates on this? Hows our system going or buying someone? I have no idea. Like it says above my KLS, Synthes and Biomet guys are making a good 3-7k a month on their thoracic portfolios. I get zilch
You really think Stryker will allow you to make 3-7k extra a month? They'll throw a ridiculous premium on those and make you take a huge commission cut in order to get the pricing right to even get them in. Plus your way too far behind in this game.
