The Solea 1% penalty affects high and medium producers more than it should. GH just stood up for every sales person at PD.Ginger said no more Solea ….
Salient point. If the Solea tax is what ultimately sent her to the door, that's not a great trade off for Patterson. While no single producer is bigger than the company, let's be real. She took her ES, another TR, and they're now circling back for the Techs. Patterson ceded the entire Jacksonville market for what, Solea? Someone at corporate needs to be taken to account and made to answer for this failure. Who is it?The Solea 1% penalty affects high and medium producers more than it should.

I just had my first conversation with ‘them’. It was strange how refreshing the conversation was. Would have gone to #1 if it wasn’t for GH’s action. So glad I paid attention to what she did. I want in.Salient point. If the Solea tax is what ultimately sent her to the door, that's not a great trade off for Patterson. While no single producer is bigger than the company, let's be real.

The guarantee is to not work for a company owned by private equity.What's the guarantee?
100% this. Legacy big hitters selling their territory to a competitor for cash in their final few years is nothing new. It dilutes their brand for sure. But it's hard to turn your back to that money the closer you get to check out time. The mid level players just changing names on their business cards are the ones in my view who weaken the overall value we try to bring by chasing a short term guarantee. A few tweaks to our strategy and Patterson could be on the path to big growth. Those of us still waiting for the bat sign over Gotham City are getting impatient.Big rep sure, starting to lose customers? Definitely…guaranteed pay day before retirement? Absolutely…you need to dig deeper into this than what appears at the surface…it’s going to happen to all big suppliers across the board over the next 18-24 months. Some will be quiet,some will be shocking. Ego hits are hard to swallow. Those higher earners losing their status are the ones who will leave.Do not fool yourself. Stick to what’s working for you now.
Just what my business is worth. No special deal to be honest. But I got to talk with their leader and she gets it. Everyone is treated fairly, no special deal. I had a special deal here and I actually am interested to leave it behind to be part of what they are building.What's the guarantee?
Pittston people might be owned soon by PE as well, look what happened to bigger players (Medline etc.)
I don’t see it. It doesn’t sound like it was a money play like you are telling. The people were some of our hardest workers. I heard they turned down big money from NY to take opportunity out of PA.100% this. Legacy big hitters selling their territory to a competitor for cash in their final few years is nothing new.
