    I know 2 reps who recently left a reputable dental implant company to go and work for ImplantDirect..all I can say is I hope you've done your research..sure, it isn't perfect or problem-free at your former company..but, in spite of some frustrating issues you used to deal with at the other place, you have no idea what you just walked into..Niznick will abuse and mistreat you to the extent you'll be wishing you never made the move..don't be fooled by his empty promises of more compensation..do the math..you simply can't make significant commissions by selling something that costs only $150-200..specialists will slam the door in your faces..you may pick up a few GP placers, but you will forever destroy any positive reputation you may have had with specialists...think about it!

    If it is so bad at Implant Direct, why did 2 experienced Zimmer reps and 2 Thommen reps resign to come to work for Implant Direct last month? Niznick has handed over all responsibilities for sales to Marty Dymek, former president of Steri-oss/Nobel USA, and former president of Straumann USA. Marty has two Directors and 8 Regional managers under him domestically. It is now a very professionally run sales organization with 40 inside customer service reps partnered with 50 outside sales reps.

    The exception being the comp plan being very poor.

    Why? because of 9.1% unemployment, not counting others that have left the workforce. Hell, if I am responsible for providing to my family, I'd work in Best Buy if it came down to it. Believe me, if those reps had an opportunity for OR sales over ID, guess who they would have chosen. Deciding over a limited unemployment check vs a base salary plus commission job is a no brainer. Believe me, ask anyone on the unemployment line, they would work for you. But know this, the moment something slightly better comes along, your workforce is out.

    I have to disagree. Collecting unemployment on the Obama tit for 99 weeks is a much better gig than being humiliated and degraded by Niznick and his henchmen. For the sake of dignity, I'll take the unemployment check. Once the Obama-Care kicks in, I won't even have to worry about the company provided insurance. With employers like ID, Obama is making it very tempting to stay at home and do nothing all day-with a paycheck and benefits. Only thing better would be if I pushed out a couple of kids, and got the WIC and SNAP coupons. Easy street. God Bless America.

    At least it will be their choice. With Nobel and the other overpriced companies that repeatedly trimmed the size of their sales forces to keep up with declining profits, the reps never had that choice. With 8 regional managers and two directors working under a real professional leading the sales team, we can focus on hiring based on sales skills and not just on "experienced" implant sales reps, laid off from this company or that.

    A professional sales org knows the value of paying "well-skilled" sales reps. Here's the thing though, if they were "well-skilled," then why are they working for you. It's not as if they were doing well and you had a recruiter go after them. No, they failed, you picked them up, through all these "cast-off's" in a bucket, then through them against the wall to see who will stick. That's not rocket science method of hiring a sales force, it's "who's desparate enough" to work for me.

    An organization that value's talent tracks said talent, then makes an offer that talent can't refuse.

    And who made you an offer to get you where you are? With non compete agreements with most of the companies, your a hostage, not a free agent. Implant Direct does not ask for non competes, because once a salesperson knows the ID product advantages, they don't want to switch companies and have to sell against What most of the industry knows is the best product and best value.

    First, and I'm speaking personally, I would never want to work for another implant company within my territory. It's a total credibility issue. To one day say my implant works best in this scenario to then wake up the next day and say my new implant company is better because.... That would not fly. So non compete's are really an non-issue. If say I wanted to re-locate to another area for personal reasons and there was an opening with another REPUTABLE company, that's a different story, and a non-compete with that example would still be a non-issue.

    The reason non-competes exist is to protect the territory itself from poaching, and to protect proprietary info. ID biz model is based on poaching, and really have no trade secrets because they are cloners who cut corners on products they clone. Also, with commodity prices rising the way they are, a price increase coupled with top line expense reduction is definitely in the future to maintain profitability. So this price war can't last forever.

    When I read a ridiculous statement like this, it is just indicative of who this company attracts. Those who have run out of options. I can't believe I am technically categorized in the same segment with whoever you are. How you type that drivel without your head exploding is beyond me. Enjoy the wonderful Niznick experience for the time being, until you quit or are released.

    Inside reps get 5% commissions, same as the outside reps. Thats a lot of money for sitting on your ass all day just taking phone calls. This is a depressing gig if your an outside rep and have to share your monthly commission with a telephone rep.

    You don't "share your commission with a telephone rep." They get theirs and the ouside reps get theirs. The outside reps retain the base from 2010 through end of 2012 so they get the 5% on all increases in 2011 to add to any increases in sales in 2012. Every other company keeps changing the quota so the better you do, the higher your quota for the next year. At ID I give myself a raise from year to year by benefiting from the growth I generated the year before.

    Notice that there have been very few postings of unhappy ID reps and no one is taking shots at Niznick.....what does that say about the fastest growing company in the industry Implant Direct.

    It says You (Jerry Niznick) is still a douche bag, and many of your employees are not around long enough to share their experiences here on CF or they are too afraid to exercise their free speech rights because of the threats of termination you have made to them.

    Maybe you do not understand how this board works. People post anonymously so any disgruntled employee can post without fear of retaliation. Unfortunately, many postings that appeared in the past to be from disgruntled employees, were really competitor reps trying to make themselves feel better.

    What it says, along with this obviously substandard comp plan that you're so happy about for some reason, is that the reps there don't have options anywhere else, or they would take them. Also, please spare us the marketing tag lines you geniuses have come up with. You sound like the used car salesmen that you clearly are. That's why you belong and will remain in the minor leagues.
