Just a heads up...the outdated life vest you were provided in training will need to be sent back....upon your imminent resignation you must mail that vest back to HR along with any sales material you have. If HR doesn't receive your demo vest they will dock you one full base pay period. Provide HR the tracking number and CYA! Good luck, guys! I'm out

Oh the demo that has no electrical components to it! Ha! What a crock! Sending mine back ASAP!
 












Where is the DOJ??? If they ever performed a have way decent audit and compared the submitted documents with those in the hospital chart this company would be out of business. Then take into account PSRs that Rx the vest so they can make money??? Somebody get out the whistle!!!!
 












Did not know about the phone #. My jackass manager cancelled the # the day I was gone and had it forwarded to him.

OBTW, every rep territory has turned over twice in a year. Three managers in a year and the last one is a doozie!

But you can have your number turned back over to you. You have the right to own your number.
 






It was a number that was helpd by the previous rep and now jerk off the manager had it rolled over to him because every person in the territory has left. He is rying to keep evey ounce of business he have hold onto.

I had always heard neutral or negative things about Zoll and its flagship LifeVest. I was contacted in early Fall about an opportunity. At first everything was great…a very easy going day and manager. i even ignored my counterparts within the district as they were extremely negative but honest. My revenue quota was low ($20k) and my fit quota was low as well with existing business in the territory. In training I was told that my revenue quota would only go up $1600 per month….I was making 11-13 grand per month….Lets fast forward 4 months….My revenue quota has doubled and my fit quota has increased 50%…The last two months alone, my quota was raised nearly $8k. Revenue and Fit: These are the two ways you get paid in addition to your salary. I have never seen a commission plan like this…furthermore, there are many moving parts to your commission. You can do your job and sell a vest, but the patients insurance policy can easily deny authorization for it after the fact…DME NOT DEVICE.nothing like seeing a big fat zero on your sales report. There are so many moving parts to this process…unlike pharma and device…..I don’t want to make this a long winded passage but I just wanted to share my feedback about this company and its antics out of all courtesy…There are individuals who thrive here and it is merely circumstantial and highly volatile. In addition to the monthly raises in revenue quota and periodic increases in fit quota…there is an annual increase to make it even more DIFFICULT. I was told by my manager that the monthly increase of $3,200 was a “compounded” raise and it was actually $1,600. Funny enough, there was a month i missed quota by 1,300…no compound taken into consideration. I have been at least the second sales rep in a year and my customers ONLY respect me for not bothering them. If you are taking this job to get physician call point experience, great! If you think this is a path to devices, please stop and know its not devices. There are several device companies that hire direct from pharma. Please do your due diligence before accepting an offer. How many reps before you? Book of business, quota, insurance reimbursement, etc. This company obviously operates on statistics as they know you will be gone within a year. What is sad is that with each abrupt turnover, credibility is lost and doctors can’t take you seriously. My humble suggestion is to stay away unless you are unemployed. Its been great, Zoll….Im out of here back to the OR.

I really appreciate you taking the time to post this, to expose these corrupt organizations that truly take advantage of gullible sales represetatives.

Call it the Zoll Death Vest!
 






Its very simple, if a company has been in a space for as long as the LV, and claim to have saved thousands and are border line standard of care, then how come you find no discussion in any of the boards or literature. HRS was this week, I wonder what was discussed there?

Contacts are the most valuable thing you'll get at Zoll. Remember if you want to sell to these call points again, you'll need to selectively ignore Zoll's aggressive selling. Just do what you need to without alienating the customers. If you can't keep the cell number number, keep the contact list somehow.

Anyone can keep the phone number if they want to. You purchased the phone with your technology funds. Even if the manager transferred the number over to themselves you can go to Verizon, /att and have the number transferred back over to you. (unforward) Make sure you change the passwords, etc...You have a right to keep your number. Call HR and tell them that it's your number and you are keeping it.
 






I work for the most 10 tenured rep as he is a manager with 10 years experience…..that doesn't say much about the company!! He's my manager and I can't stand working for him…..he thinks he is ZOLL…..I'm ready to leave and I just got hired!!!
 


















Zoll lies to everyone, including

..prospective employees, on comp, careers and management experience
..current employees, on realistic sales plans and culture
..customers including the level of evidence and "saved" lives
..the scientific community on effectiveness, such as in non ischemic patients

Ask anyone with direct first hand experience...we're just sick of being lied to, and perpetuating these lies.

JW/ML/JP/BK/BP I'm not perpetuating your lying culture anymore.

I've never worked at a place where the people who drink the Kool-Aid are SO brainwashed! The stuff is so powerful it's as if they actually believe the shit they're saying.
 






I am awaiting an offer and leaving soon. I have never been so gelded and demoralized in my career. I am sick and tired of having so little control over my business and being 1.) patronized by bullies and intellectual misfits 2.) at the whim of non-revenue accountable support staff and 3.) ruining my careerlong relationships. I am so tired of interviewing and mandatory bullsh** ride alongs and meaningless (for the most part) "business metrics" and reports aimed at babysitting. I attempt to lead my team through a complete mine field with no cover from above to support our efforts. Customers are so bogged down and upset with us, patients outright crying (device worse than the disease or outcome "death"). I am sick and tired of spinning the truth and seeing good people set for failure. I came here with an idealistic goal of building a great team that is successful for years (not a couple segments) to come, building solid business and clinical relationships with customers and being proud of the work we have done. Instead, I pour myself out of bed and put bandaids on the day and prepare for the next round of interviews with the naïve. Good riddens.
