ARE WE BROKE??

All arrows point to money issues. Is it bad? We only bill 1% of the codes for the DFU and VLU applications. Dermagraft is out selling Apligraf 5 fold, we are cutting back cost on everything. No matter how much kool-aid one drinks, you have got to start wondering. Is it all rumors....I believe that most rumors have a basis of truth to them. Does this mean we aren't going to the Bahamas??? I knew not to get that passport!!!

Stop screwing around and get your resume out fast.
 




































even if a major competitor is no longer in the market, the price that we are charging for Apligraf is still a fraction of what it was the last 4 years. $1371 < $1700, but the real drop is $1371 from ~$2000 since the $1371 number includes the cost of the procedure to put the unit on the patient. So unless sales are going to go up 30-40% from when sales were going well, no one is coming back.

Did anyone notice how the friday afternoon email with that weeks sales stopped coming out last year? It stopped as sales went from 1800-2000 units/week the first half of 2013 to 1300-1400 units/week the second half of 2013. I'm not going to bore people with the math, but at the new price point, we would need to be selling in the ballpark of 3000 units/week just to have the same income that we were last year.

It stopped going out because they didn't want us forwarding sales numbers via email, dummy.

Nice try (well, actually predictable reply. But I am being nice). You left out one point. didn't want forwarding those declining numbers. There are still sent out, via email, as they have for years, but to a smaller crowd.
 






























What idiots would lend out that kind of money?

We bitch bitch bitch bitch whine whine whine that's what we like to do.
We bitch bitch bitch bitch whine whine whine whine all the workday through.

Keep complaining. Good news is finally rolling out and you suckers don't even know what to do with it so you just keep trotting out the same old complaints every week. Have fun with that.
