Does anyone have any information about this company? I was contacted by a recruiter regarding portable ultrasound sales in the Mid West. Im in Ortho and can't believe they would want someone outside cardio.... How is the $$$$, products, interview process, etc...??? thx
 


I have an upcoming interview with them, but am strongly considering declining it. I talked to three reps (now former reps) over the last few days and they all said that this is a dead end opportunity. Sonosite recently acquired CardioDynamics and they all said it was not a good acquisition. There were 30+ reps that came on board from CardioDynamics and more than half are already gone. The BioZ has lost a big portion of it's reimbursement, the EndoPat contract is up in April (and not considered part of your quota) and the NanoMaxx is a $30K ultrasound device that they want you to sell to PC, IM and Cardiologists to do a procedure that is not getting reimbursed yet. Do yourself a favor and talk to some reps before leaving your position in ortho...I don't have all the details, but I have reached out to some reps via LinkedIn and am not liking what I am finding.
 




That is exactly what they told me as well. I ended up not interviewing with them. I found out the last rep quit after one month and the rep before that was only there for 6 months. Big red flags for me as I've only heard bad things about the cvdm division.

they hire x verathon managers like Mike C and he was at the bottom of the rankings what's that tell you?
 


Interviewing for the position in NC- is the climate really that bad? Sonosite is well respected in the hospitals and just thought that this would be a challenge. Does anyone know what the training program is like?
 


I too am interviewing for the CVDM position. Selling to physician offices no hospitals. I've heard it is a hard sell. Can anyone give an update on SonoSite CVDM positions. My recruiter tells me that 23 of 50 reps are being replaced which is very concerning here. Are their any reps in theis divsion doing well? The product looks very interesting.
 








Whats is going on with you guys? There are four Regional Manager positions open (Mid-Atlantic, South Central, Great Lakes, and West). Did they all get fired or just leave?

What you'all witnessed was a mass firing of The CVDM sales channel that was preceded by all hiring/ prior to the terminations. 2 RBD jobs are still currently available, 2 have been filled with by what can only be described as the micromanagement-ization of the sales team. As a matter of fact,They have moved to a B / C team mentality. ( funny , but the RSM' s don't realize that they are The C team ( the NE RBD is a failure due to instability issues, was brought in via a personal connection , and will be gone soon enough.

Many of the top TM are looking to leave, creating several sales opportunities if you are looking for a 2.year gig. Recently corp was gutted , key people fired after the recent acquisition
In this era sales is the safest position if you can perform. However, Mindray will have an impact in several key geographies and it will be a challenge that Sonosite will not survive as a leader.

You must be an insider, so why do you stay at such a train wreck ? Are you B or C team / minor league loser as well? If you are in the NE you are correct about Susan C@RBO- but she has been around long enough that you would have left if you could.
