Retention Bonus Program/Comp Plan


you're surprised by this? Applied Medical always has been and always will be a D-League joke of a company. Alexis and Gel are Applied's only decent products. All that other crap is nothing more than a commodity sold by GPO contract/price. My advice is to win a couple quota buster awards, show you can sell, and get out after 1-2 years. I did, and so did at least 7-8 dozen other reps I know of in the past 3-4 years. Ever notice how there are virtually no reps on LinkedIn with a tenure over 3 years there?


There are no reps on linkedin in sales at any company over 3 years. It's the nature of the job, not the company.
 


Please tell me you're kidding me. The best reps making the most money stay at their respective companies and move up over time. Stop ignoring the fact that Applied Medical is nothing more than a stop-gap for medical device reps looking for a career with a REAL company. Now go back to your cubicle you peasant and rehearse Said's creed about how great he is because he reinvented the trocar.
 






Those Quota buster plaques come in handy for sure. OH! Voyant must be what they have in the pipeline. Hopefully they have some of the tenured reps launch it for them. (tenured= 1.1 years). Oh guess what Applied Medical is Hiring, in all 50 states.

Some people just can't cut it with Applied Medical. Voyant is going to revolutionize the market. Look at what we did when we came into the trocar market. Now we are the market leader. You know we will do the same thing to the energy market. Our engineers are the best in the world and have created a product that will be in operating rooms across the country very soon.
 




OMG Really. This is the same story about Voyant they have been spewing for years now. By the time Voyant does get into any operating room there will be new technology out and Voyant will be used to prop the door open. Trocars are all you have. It should be called Applied Medical $5 and under Trocar company.

You must have lost many accounts to us. Sound like a bitter, fired employee who couldn't cut it here. Our technology is cutting edge and we are marketplace disrupters. You know good and well our engineers are working on new products designed to reduce the cost of healthcare and provide a superior product. Your mind is just too simple to wrap around the Applied Medical vision.
 


VISION? You mean Said's vision/coolaid. Pay the employees no commission, have nothing in the pipeline, and have a revolving door as your hiring process. Ok, yes that sounds great. Where is Applied ranked when I think of device companies, 1,2,3,4.......LAST. HA

ranked in terms of what? bitter old reps who couldn't cut it. Then ya, 1st.

lots of really good people here that are doing very well. how does a company continue to grow if it sucks as much as you think it does?
 


FYI. THE COMPANY IS NOT GROWING. Numbers are down in every category except Trocars. That is world wide not USA. Trocars are also down in the USA. Ask your manager to show you the real numbers over the last five years. Oh that's right they won't. Said stays private just so he can make up any numbers he wants to put out to the sales force. The LAST was rankings of medical device companies. Look it up on Forbes, you will see. Keep sucking down that Koolaid . You know what happened last time one Leader got a whole group of obedient people to drink the Koolaid right? Google Jim Jones Koolaid. HA
 


The poster above is flat out wrong. We are the market leader in trocars and we have unbelievable growth. We are continuing to hire reps to meet the demand of the market. Said is a visionary who has revolutionized the healthcare industry. We have converted thousands of hospitals and saved the facilities millions of dollars. No Kool-Aid here, just the facts from a company that I have seen grow for years.
 


You are correct and just validated what I have been saying. All you have is your Cheap Trocars sold on price alone not technology. You have nothing else. Oh and by the way. Let me know if you ever get the true numbers from your company.

I don't even know who Applied is, but came on here to research different companies and this post sounds like some South Korean propaganda put out by Kim Jong Un. Are you kidding me? Does this company seriously monitor these boards and post this stuff to make itself look good? LOL!!!!

While your conspiracy theory about private companies and “true numbers” is entertaining, you obviously didn’t have the brain to simply ask your DM to show you the CRM reports that are updated daily with Applied’s growth. Spoiler alert, there’s no secret or conspiracy, Applied is still growing after all these years. The company has its flaws, but as someone who has worked for many device companies, I haven’t found the grass to be greener in other places. Bottom line, no matter what company you’re with you have to figure out how to work the comp plan and put in the effort. Could I make more in other places? Absolutely. However, I have an awesome quality of life here and several of my friends who don’t even make much more money are constantly on the chopping block and miserable. If the above poster/internet troll has any magical career advice I’m sure we’d love to hear where you’re working now. You must really be killing it to have the time to complain on an anonymous forum at 9:30 in the morning…

Applied is the best company I have worked for and our trocars are sold on their clinical superiority. FIOS and Advanced Fixation has revolutionized the business. Also, look at how we have reduced the cost of healthcare since we entered the market. Said is a brilliant businessman and a true innovator. He is a great person to work for and you won't find a more humble man in the position he holds.
