any current acell reps out there-Where do you see this company in the next year or two. Is it worth getting on the boat or is this a possible sinking ship?
I'm looking at taking job with them. I am currently a tech. at least four plastic docs here are going nuts with it. Current rep is moving to another state. I asked them specifically about their take. They seem to say its game-changer. ANyone know first year potential?
Game Changer? Really? for what? taking a product that was recalled due to pyrogenes and continuing to say it regrow fingers? Complete misrepresentation as most know the fibroblasts, armed with collagen, produced those results. They are definitely not typical as there is no genetic influence on regrowth of limbs without stem cells involved. Look at your biology and what really has to transpire to regrow a new limb, finger whatever.
It a good product but its not what is represented. Its not "game changing" by any means.
you may want go back to the books big fella. fibroblasts armed with collagen? What type of mickey mouse science are you reading? Sounds like you are talking about dermagraft or apligraft. These are not fibroblasts seeded onto a crappy collagen structure. This is a purely complex collagen tissue without detergent or plastic coating for strength. No other product is producing these results. If so, why isn't the military using dermis, etc to regrow muscle tissue? Go back to your journals, look up the technology and see the evidence yourself. Positive stains for mesenchymal, and progenitor cells rather than simple fibroblastic phenotype. that's what you are looking for.. it's there. chemotaxis is the game changer. This is a growing company that didn't have to climb the corrupt system of payoffs, dirty studies, and slimy lobbyists. The press found them before they tried to be sophisticated. My take.. growing company trying to iron out their identity and management issues.They are being attacked because they don't fit the typical profile for a company that has grown so rapidly. You may not become wealthy carrying this product, however the evidence for its power is undeniable.
If you want to go to work for a company that every time a success is told it must be preceded with "what you are about to hear is off label, however". All of their sales strategies are tell an anecdotal story, hope the doctor doesn't ask you to prove it, use it off label. Now talk about the fact that you will be hired, at 3 months they want to know why you are struggling. At 6 months you go straight commission, no time to penetrate multiple accounts. You better pick one account and hope you hit gold. If not, your gone. How does this opportunity sound so far. That doesn't even go into the issues with management.
I got screwed big time by this company. I saw firsthand the product work really well, but no reimbursement for at all for the product. DOS lied or was misinformed about reimbursement. And, I couldn't believe how stupid management was in training reps on off label promotion on company wide email!
Good product with potential, but it is lead by a group of unprofessional morons. I didn't realize at the time but they did me a huge favor by letting me go after 3 months even though I got 12 doctors to use the product and got a local contract with 4 hospitals.
Run from this company until a real company buys them and cleans house.
were you in nashville? just wondering what market this was in....ugh
