So let me get this straight.....you make 75k in salary and a 2% commission rate. So if you have a 2 million dollar territory (which you don't), you will make 95k? God they are shoving it in hard. If I were making that I would be on food stamps. That company has fallen even harder than I imagined.
1% commission a joke

That would be very good math if I was only paid a bonus once a year...
I'm being sarcastic btw. We have additional bonuses for being above plan. Sorry to rain on your parade.
yes, i have heard on Encode....with 3i. Not the zimmer implant. And the only difference between Implant Direct and Zimmer internal hex is that Zimmer still uses a friction fit abutment, which Implant Direct's founder invented in 1995 while at corevent/paragon. If we wanted to still do that, we could. But it's quite useless, like your morning workout routine. Largest regen portfolio? Have you seen ours lately? If by largest, you mean "the most expensive for Puros" you are correct.
2% of 2 million is 40k. so total would be $115k, but hey...i actually went to college and can add. In any case....he doesn't have a 2m territory....prob close to 1m....so the 95k would be correct.
Oh yes please tell me about your Starbucks gift cards you receive as a bonus. And yes, you are dumber than I thought. If you sell 2 million over the course of a year you get 20k total. So yes, my math is correct and your comp plan Is pathetic. Space your 20k over 12 months and you make around 1666 a month in commission and we have already established you have nowhere near a 2 million dollar territory. Oh and by the way I do, it's easy beating you and the other morons out there. Have some pride in yourself . You are getting hosed
A lot of ID trolls on this thread. Not out selling so must be home responding?
Your just upset because I explained your comp plan to you in a way that even you could understand. I guess Brian Burke is really good at spewing fake facts. You guys are shills. You are responding too, so are you not selling? I wouldn't be either for 1%. Oh Dr you need 100 implants at 300 a pop. Damn man I just made $300 bucks before taxes, baby we going to sizzler tonight!!! God you are sad
So you are bragging about lying to surgeons? The TSV didn't "come" from another company. It is the original implant and the same company as Corevent and Paragon, who became Centerpulse, who became Zimmer Dental. In NO way, is ID affiliated with the TSV. Niznick just created a new implant that he tried to copy as much of the TSV as he could without being sued.
ID is a cheap knock-off of the real TSV implant.
you need to have your head checked out for maybe being dropped on it. The Tapered Screw Vent was patented and developed by Dr Gerry Niznick, and then sold through an acquisition to Zimmer Dental. The TSV was actually made in Gerry Niznick's facility for some time, even after zimmer bought it. Here are some facts for you, no lies.
-1986 screw vent implant with internal hex patented by Gerry Niznick
-friction fit abutment patent 1994 by gerry niznick
-2000 Tapered screw vent developed, then Sold off to zimmer through sulzer medica
-2005- Implant Direct is formed, by Dr Niznick making the exact implant he developed but upgrading the thread pattern, offering all in one packaging, at half the cost. These are not lies. These are facts. You can look them up on this thing called the "internet".
I closed my month last week - so yes I was able to troll today. Finished way quota and made a very nice bonus 3000 on top of my 95k salary and another 3000 + bonus. Had the oil changed in my new company SUV and had a nice lunch with one of my top surgeons- an ex Zimmer guy. ID is really a nice place to work. By the way I have already made over 80 k this year selling Niznick's new versions of the TSV. I'm not the only ID rep in this situation . Tell me about your last day of the quarter new Zimmer rep. By the way Encode is not all that special. Loads of remakes and way too expensive esp when the dr had to remake the crowns and the abutment.
You should be a stand up comedian. You obviously are some old fat ass, ID rep that couldn't make it with any other reputable implant company. Bwahahahaha. GTFO loser.
Zimmer rep don't cry. I have a very nice life with ID and I do make that much money , have a new company car and a beautiful wife that also makes more than you. But so what - I'm happy and I could care less about you or your Encode. I do not have any more time to waste on this thread young man. I am tired from celebrating my record breaking first half of 2017. Becareful what you say about ID - you may need a job sooner than you think. Many ex Zimmer reps have crossed over to ID. Have a happy 4th and be thankful to Dr Niznick for what you have little man.
your so awesome you don't have time to respond but you do?
And you lie. You are not making that much. ID reps make about 95k for The Whole year if they are lucky

boohoo you lie!! Shocked to find out that Danaher pays more than ZB ? I think you maybe interviewed with ID and were rejected. Salary is negotiated and the bonus system is dependent on what level rep you are . Zimmer hired copier sales and it is well know the turn over is constant. But who cares. Grow up quit lying to the doctors. wipe your tears and collect that big 95k paycheck. By the way how is your personal car holding up? And the Danaher 401 K match + retirement 2% is very nice. Off to the airport to catch my flight to Europe for a 2 week paid vacation. Enjoy your staycation little one. City pools are open . Ta ta
i for one, love my company car and compensation. I'm glad I don't have to go around and beg doctors to stay with zimmer by saying "we will match prices of ID...just stay with us....we have friction fit abutments....i know Niznick invented friction fit abutments....but who cares...i know we used to charge $375....but now I'll sell you the TSV for $190. "
It sounds like the ID reps are starting to complain and feel the heat of lost sales
Interesting thread. Zimmer youngster is being schooled on the history of his employer.
Young man, another lesson here is Zimmer also lost out to BH, Straumann , Nobel ,Astra and MIS as well as 3i. Encode is besieged with issues and has not made a difference to the 3i customers in my territory who have been switching to straumann, Nobel and Astra. Selling on an abutment? What else can you offer ? Encode is not the savior.
ID and Nobel have Danaher, Astra and MIS have Dentsply, BH and Schein, Straumann and Neodent and heck even Blue Sky have all chopped away at Zimmer. They all (with the exception of BlueSky) have huge dental back up to compete with your prices. Not every lab works with Encode. Zimmer has hip replacements and that tribecular metal thing didn't work out to well in the dental implant business. Lessons here is : You never know who you will be working with in the future.
ID is not the only implant company you are competing against.
Word.

word to the above poster. All true.
and i'll offer this.
Just trying to school you on some history. Nobody cares about friction fit abutments, and the ones that do get taken for a ride. But you have to differentiate yourself in some way right??? otherwise you just have a v-threaded implant from like 20 years ago that hasn't changed and got it's internal hex from Niznick, and has the same surface treatment as Implant Direct. You used to be able to slap the name "zimmer" on it and people thought it was great. Now, it's just another overpriced implant scrambling to drop it's price. Your flashy trade show booths and podium power doesn't fool anyone...at least the smart ones.
