<p>[QUOTE="Embarrassed, post: 2894371"]After reading this thread, I am honestly embarrassed to be a spine rep. This is what gives all devise reps a bad name. This is why the reps out there doing good work have to waste time convincing their customers they are not meat heads that are only worried about money. Bringing up the fact that someone misspelled something is a very weak put down. It's a freaking thread people, not a resume. </p><p><br /></p><p>Medtronic is a fantastic company that has made spine surgery safer and more effective. NuVasive is a fantastic company that has made spine surgery safer and more effective.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could say the same about a number of other spine companies out there. If you are in this business, you know that it really comes down to how good the surgeon is. A healthy argument about the lateral approach would be an excellent thread to read. We all may be smarter after reading that thread. It is funny how many unoriginal thoughts are in this thread. It's as if these two reps just came from their national sales meeting and they believe all the marketing bull they heard. It is great to have faith in your products but when it's blind faith you are a hindrance to your customer. Right now, there is plenty of money to go around and if you focus on providing the best service to your customers you will find the money tends to go in your pocket. As sales reps we all have an incentive to sell more. However, there is a patient here and even though we are not the care provider we are responsible for that patient. We can all do better but some need to step it up more than others. I have spent the last ten years trying to convince my customers that I am not like most of the reps from the thread above. Let's turn this in to a question and answer forum on the lateral approach or why to use needles over pads, not my dick is bigger than yours. The fact that someone out there actually believes that Medtronic is paying surgeons to use their products is outrageous. The DOJ is all over them. They have a 31 billion market cap and I don't think they are small minded enough to hand cash to a surgeon in a bag. A rep that says that can't really sell. They are relying on negative information in the hopes that a surgeon will believe them and they will benefit. If a rep has proof of it then I highly recommend giving it to the DOJ and making some really big money. I bet that same rep isn't telling his customers how much he/she makes. The blanket statements about NuVasive's neuromonitoring are outrageous too. NuVasive has had needles from the very beginning and if a surgeon chooses to use pads that is his/her choice. It is our job to provide the best information we can and let the customer make the decision they feel is best for the patient. Everything is about to change and in the next three to five years prices are going to drop dramatically. So if you are looking for a job right now, make sure you pick a company that is going to be around. Don't go for the quick buck. It is better to make $200,000 a year for the next ten years than it is to make $300,000 a year for the next three years and then lose your job and make $100,000 a year at another job. I would love to hear from someone that disagrees with me or even better to hear from someone that has something positive to talk about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
