I have to disagree with the statement that most or all of good distributors are gone. There are still a few that seem to be sincere in their efforts to keep this sinking ship afloat and are working hard to make a difference. The problem is that the lack of communication, lack of a realistic plan and general lack of any leadership has caused even these top performers to start to disengage. Many of them see the writing on the wall and are trying to rebuild their businesses around other lines. Who can blame them when the people closest to the emperor still tell him what he wants to hear rather than the dismal truth that his plan is failing and the sad sales numbers, ridiculously high turnover and feeling of hopelessness in the field organization is proof. Instead they are still telling everyone in the field that the problems are all the fault of sales and that they should ignore the man behind the curtain. SRS Conmed suture passer Yknot.....you have got to be kidding. Give us all a break try to embrace reality for the sake of everyone involved.
