Stryker poaching Zimmer reps

So class, what is the real takeaway from this story?

 

Ortho reps aren't just box openers?

 

What's good for the goose is good for the gander? No news here, this happens all the time. The only difference is the smart convert reps keep their big mouths shut, flip accounts and get paid big money. Done.

 

This is dumb.

They offer to pay him 30k for every 500k in Zimmer business he converts to Stryker. This is the standard commission rate.

Where is the extra incentive?

 

r***** Z REP! the 30 k is on top of the 27k paid to him monthly!
