Here are some interesting statistics that NO ONE in management at PCLS wants you to know. If you did, you would do something about it. So let's bring it out in the open.
An out of network lab receives on average $550/paid specimen for toxicology. Yes, $550.
A good out of network lab will pay you 10-12.5% of gross receipts with no deducts.
85% of all specimens are paid on average.
So lets run some real life numbers. Let's say you as a rep control 700 samples per month in your territory. This is on average a cash receipt average of 700X.85X550 or
$327,500 PER MONTH IN RECEIPTS FOR THE LAB. How much do you make on that number again when working for PCLS.
HMMMMMM. That should be a minimum of $32,750/month in your pocket. If you perform you can make a lot, if you don't you are better off working for PCLS. These are real numbers people and I can give you many examples of it. Most people never take the time to run the numbers. You should.
Work for someone who wants to have fun and make money, and who is not interested in selling the lab and you to someone else.
