1% commission a joke





"Zimmer Biomet and it's the clients who suffer with lack of support"

That's YOUR problem Zimmer-Biomet salesman. That's why they pay you 1%. YOU keep the clients happy and from jumping ship. That is your only function now except keeping your kneepads ready.
 








I'm going to call Dr. Christensen tomorrow. I need his advice on some roofing materials and what snow tires to buy for my car.

Gee, I wish I knew everything like he does. He's really smart.

you don't have to be a genius to understand that over paying for implants is stupid. There are 10 companies out there now that can offer quality implants at half the price. But you can't fix stupid.
 




Hey how do you tools detail dental chairs and stools ? Ummm hey doc lets go over that area under the curve
of the armrest. Plastic or vinyl and what color doc ? How about paper masks and gloves need then too doc ?
 








What is the price of a TSV ? I have seen invoices from $440- $135 ? The doctors that showed me the 440 invoice couldn't sit for a week.
The 135 invoice reps are no longer with Zimmer.
 








zimmer is now going around trying to match Implant Direct pricing. Kinda sad. Must be tough to go into accounts and beg for business. Do you give your doctors credits for all the money you overcharged them the past 10 years? too funny.
 
















Referrals are still requesting a premium brand name implant. We have that. Covered. No problem. Now, here is the fun part. The same surgeons using a premium implant also buy value implants from you. Once price is no longer an issue with these implants, you have nothing to compete. ZB is better than you on every level. Good luck next quarter. Your knock off implants are weak, your reps are weak and you are weak.

please explain how zimmer is better than Implant Direct Legacy? Same surface treatment, same internal hex (niznick created and patented the TSV and Internal Hex 1986), same threads on our Legacy 1, but upgraded threads and cutting grooves on legacy 2, 3, and 4.....final abutment for use with implant...comes with healing collars...shall I go on? Not only is Implant Direct better prices, but it's a better implant with more options. Plus Implant Direct can offer compatibility with other brands coming through the office for restoring. It's not even a contest. There is nothing "premium" about Zimmer...and it shows...as they are dropping their prices faster than Kim Kardashian's legs open.
 




Zimmer a premium brand??? With premium reps that make a 1% commission on top of a 60k salary. Keep thinking your special new Zimmer rep. You just made my day! I can compete against you all day long and still come out on top. How low are you willing to go?
 








i literally laugh when offices tell me they use zimmer. I almost can't hold back my smile. My first question...."do you know where Zimmer came from?" They say, "no". Then I just have a field day explaining to the doctors and/or staff that Implant Direct's former company, core vent and paragon invented and brought to the market the TSV internal hex implant. Then we formed Implant Direct and sold the same implant with upgraded threads and features and all in one packaging for half the cost. But now zimmer is chasing their own tails trying to drop their price as fast as they can to compete. For going to school for 8+ yrs, doctors are pretty stupid.
 




First off, it's Zimmer Biomet. Every heard of Encode? Second, the internal connection on the legacy Zimmer implants are completely different than ID's knockoff version. But I'm happy to hear you don't know the difference. This is why surgeons are willing to pay a little more. Not to mention, we have the largest regenerative portfolio in the industry. And finally and most importantly, I'm not sure where you got $60k base salary. My base salary is $15k higher with a 2% commission this quarter. So I doubt seriously you're converting any of my accounts. Now run along and stop staying up so late getting worked up over this.
 




I do have one suggestion for you. I get up early to workout before I go make calls. Maybe try doing that instead of staying up past midnight, cruising the Zimmer forum on Cafepharma and drinking yourself to sleep. But I'm sure you are probably taking the day off because it's a holiday weekend and you are weak just like your company.
