120 Days At Zoll/ Please read if considering

I guess you don't get it. Nobody is looking for your sympathy. We're asking you learn the business. Learn where the process is broken and come up with solutions to fix it. Marshall and Jamie just made a trip to Cali to understand why reps were leaving and why nobody wanted to interview for the open positions. Their solution, lower the quotas to try and stop the bleeding. Unfortunately the guys in Georgia get wind and all hell is breaking lose! There are so many areas where reimbursement and corporate policies are hindering the ability to grow business. The solution is to either make some noise and risk being fired or just leave this mess. Most are leaving. Lowering quotas is a short term reprieve. 6 months at best. Forget it. Time to leave this sinking mismanaged ship. Good luck with the pharm model!

I wouldn't even compare this mess to pharma. At least pharma has structure, defined marketing, support, operations, supply chain, contracting, quality med-ed. I feel like doctors are shooting at a craps table hoping to continue scoring without busting.

At least pharma had a code of ethics shared among the industry competitors. Management still doesn;t understand the problems are much deeper and runs into the culture and mismanagement that drove the original numbers. Word is out among the customers and any person who knows any business understands that company trust isn't something that you can just hire a new rep to repair.

Please stop complaining and redirect your efforts on being productive in the field. Poor performers use this site to proclaim falsehoods and spew crap about management. This is a wonderful company and takes care of its employees better than most. Most on here are underperformers and are bitter about not having the required skillsets to be better sales people...deal with it please!

Wow, the ONLY poster who sees exactly who is posting, and then cross references those names with sales performance...

You are wrong on every account! I am not a poor performer. Quite the opposite actually. However, poor treatment, incompetent management (at every level), useless internal employees, terrible customer service, declining patient DME coverage (leading to frustrated patients and physicians), and the mismanaged quota system has made it impossible to work here any longer. Zoll is NOT a wonderful company to work for. The 75% of employees that turns over each year would probably disagree...
 






This thread cracks me up
You realize that there are trolls probably unrelated to the company that are posting those corporate responses trying to rile you up
I doubt ML cares enough about any of you to spend any time here
 






Bahahahahaha!!!! There are NOT any trolls from other companies on this board. Why would anyone from another company go on this site when there are not any other competitors to LV? There isn't another company dumb enough to make a competitive product for something that doesn't even really pay and isn't worth the financial investment of developing. However, there are MANY people on this board that have been lied to and intentionally mislead to join this company and are here trying to get out, or have left on their own, or fired for lack of performance or some other trumped up reason and now know that the information being shared on this site is true and accurate and they are NOT the one that's going to be different. It's the worst led company in ANY industry and there really are that many people who are here or have been here and have burned by this company.

Stop trying to cover up the lies, just own up to who you are and how you treat people, how quotas are really established, how the studies being used in the field are NOT LV studies and that you're asking reps to play connect the dots with those studies, how you have zero inventory when needed, lack decent reimbursement, zero support, your company will be the biggest competition you have and how it's almost impossible to meet quota here when you are 18 months in the game. For goodness sake, be honest about turn over without calling is "expansion"!
 






If you are serious about coming to Zoll, at least read the guidelines and data before accepting. No amount of smoke and mirrors can hide the complete lack of product specific data or guideline support. Most Cardiologists know this. I fell for it and will regret it all of my career. Maybe you won't, but you'll be in the minority if you have a good experience. I thought I'd be different/special and all these other reps were just complainers. Wrong.

Be skeptical
Ask multiple doctors and reps their opinion
Ask about specific reimbursement in your state
Ask Heart Failure Clinic staff what they think
Read the guidelines (the real guidelines, not the version Zoll promotes and tries to portray as the real thing)
Expect an adversarial relationship with billing and AC's. They are there to protect Zoll, not help you or the patient
Prepare to manage PSR's who have been capped by the company and know it and are mad about it
Prepare for that you'll only work there a year and have an exit strategy

"So off went the Emperor in procession under his splendid canopy. Everyone in the streets and the windows said, "Oh, how fine are the Emperor's new clothes! Don't they fit him to perfection? And see his long train!" Nobody would confess that he couldn't see anything, for that would prove him either unfit for his position, or a fool. No Vest the Emperor had worn before was ever such a complete success.

"But he hasn't got any clothes on," a little child said.

"Did you ever hear such innocent prattle?" said its father. And one person whispered to another what the child had said, "He hasn't anything on. A child says he hasn't anything on."

"But he hasn't got anything on!" the whole board on CafePharma cried out at last.

The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, 'This procession has got to go on.' So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn't there at all......"

I find this story the most fitting of Lifevest. Remember, the swindlers/Zoll management will do anything to cover up and distract people from the facts.

Ha Ha! Last sentence is the whole story at Zoll.

Actually a very literate and creative underperformer, assuming underperformance is actually the case. If they are congrats on being paid to be creative and not work. Ding-a-ling wouldn't understand your intent of not exposing anymore customers or patients to the shock vest. Collect a check and work on something else as well.
 






True Zoll lies about EVERYTHING to get you to come on board. I'm fairly new with the company and yes, I thought I would be the one that's different. Boy, was I wrong. I've already been looking at an exist strategy, but I think I have been looking at this job the wrong way. Maybe just get the new job and keep this one too.
 
























I vote the stupidest person on the planet.

I actually find it nice here at Zoll. But then again, I am an achiever. Most of you that post on here, struggle with the fact you never get recognition because you never achieve anything that you are held accountable to do here. Haters, please leave ok? You'll make us better as an organization
 






Bahahahahahaha!!!!! Says the manager to potential candidates that they are tying to lie to to get them to come on board! Funniest post ever!! Just about everyone knows what Zoll is about now. LOL..I just can't stop laughing at this post!
