    Wolf is having a very tough year. Sales are way down, the direct rep. program is a failure (again), they lost Erick and Evan in Marketing, still can't get digital flexible scopes, are exiting the ENT market, etc. etc. I'll bet Stryker will take another run at them soon.

    can't be bought, the company is owned by a foundation...not private...public

    Perhaps, but Stryker can take over U.S. distribution.

    You must be an outsider because you have no clue as to the great things going on at Wolf. Here is a link to some recorded footage from the NSM. We will be #1 in the market soon.

    Wow, and now they launch this awful new comp plan where the rich get richer and the rest get screwed, same old stuff at Wolf.

    So what was the entertainment at this year's NSM? Hard to top the Knights in armor...

    I guess the entertainment was the not-so-subtle message that the move to direct reps. continues.

    New direct rep hired with guarantee, rep rides out guarantee, rep moves to a company with a future.
    Wash, rinse, repeat.

    ...and now Wolf had a terrible first quarter.

    This is an easy fix, they'll hire more directs. Prepare for massive growth!!!!!!!

    the endoscopic spine market is tiny, about 15 million/year. it is for the ambulance chasing pain docs that rip off the system in their ASC's. the whole segment is going to collapse.

    ...and now sales are way down through April so behind the eight ball again. Wolf has always had so much potential but they keep making the same old mistakes. It's sad to watch them let product lines go away - arthroscopy, ENT, gynecology and now the big one - Urology. And they keep focusing on video where they have no market presence and no chance. Oh, and adding direct reps. and throwing money and resources at them while good independent reps. struggle. The future for Wolf is not bright.

    Yeah, and now since sales are way down they're slashing budgets as usual. Which also means no more money for direct reps., lol

    ...not to mention most reps. are making 10-13% on the wonderful new commission plan. Wonder why sales are down?
