Believe What Is On this Board

I have nearly 20 years of medical sales, operations, and marketing experience. The rumors are true:

1. The products do fail in evaluations - Voyant is not ready for prime time, but is ok for basic procedures and crosses. This will make full system penetration difficult, if not impossible.

2. You will likely cost the customer more due to existing contracts and lack of full product lines. This means to the customer - you are causing a larger problem by being focused on a smaller one.

3. Nearly all layers of this organization are very inexperienced. This means very few know what they are doing and there is no guidance or mentorship from the next layer up.

4. The GM and all his VPs (Sales/FIT) are just horrible human beings. This is a toxic leadership situation with little common sense. Believe what others tell you about nepotism and targeted firings of otherwise talented and experienced folks that speak up.

5. The company is so focused on their competition and thinking GPOs/customers are being short sided that they forget about Applied. Product Pipelines are stale and turnover is rampant - delaying much needed innovation and product lines further - driving more of all the above.

6. "Culture" - see above. This is the "so called culture" - and it is T.O.X.I.C.

7. Working for this company is like being in a time warp. If I were to take a med device sales job in the 90s - it would operate just like Applied.

Sad and Very Disappointing
 






This. On point. When u have losers like Tim and Molly steering the ship, this is what u can expect. But u also DG directing them and setting the example. What can u possibly expect?!?! Place is like US Surg from the 90’s. Place is a sinking ship.
 






Fact. The sales culture is horrific. If you speak up or question anything you get canned or banished to some shit job, then you leave. A strategy envokes so they don’t have to pay your unemployment.
I cannot believe the ownership family allows DG to run their sales team. Applied is a terrible company to work for in sales and excellent in RSM.
He is trying to save his job but is killing the culture and sales team quality on his way out. Unrealistic quotas with less commissions percentages across the board are sold as a high paying jobs with opportunity to make more than last year-impossible. Record sales last year are followed up by doubling the growth expectations in the new year is demoralizing and will deplete all of the quality on the team. Everyone I talk to is looking for new jobs already. I feel sorry for the local managers as they have to sell this garbage plan to the various teams.
Most are good hard working people and DG is simply screwing everyone over to show a profit. Good riddance ML, the one decision DG made that is correct.

You speak the truth - everything you said is dead-on accurate.

DG and upper management in general with their smiley, "We're all in this together" horse shit will screw you whenever it suits them and none of them can be trusted. Just used car salesmen with a more expensive suit.
 












I have a serious question?

Did anyone get a raise? I was recently promoted and was told a raise was coming? Still haven’t seen/heard about it. Now I’m hearing rumors that other reps/FIT members in other zones got raises?

can anyone confirm?

Remember, DG is God folks. Whatever that homosexual says is the way it needs to be and if you don’t like it, he will find a way to get rid of you. Many of you don’t know this because it happened over 20 years ago, but he got fired from US Surgical. He can’t get a job at another medical device company. He certainly can’t lead a sales team. Just look at the newest lawsuit they filed against Medtronic in a baseless effort to recoup some money for a product that has failed miserably in the years it has been on the market. I look forward to watching DG and Applied sink worse than the Titanic!
 






KW we all know you watching this board

you didn’t like my comment. Only Raise is from Tim’s pants. I’ll keep posting it. Keep deleting and your dr hubby will get a lovely surprise.
 


















What a shithole of a company. Love seeing all the lifers there continue to waste their lives away trying to “win the game” playing for last prize. Good ol Timmy boy still probably two timing with the associate reps/managers. All still fighting and scraping their way to make 150k. Should do a soap opera of this sinking ship and the politics. The JT Marlin of the med device market.
 












Is anybody in the field for Applied having fun? Everybody I know is professional and puts on a happy face in a business setting, but if you get past that they're miserable working for this company.
 






Another 4 reps quitting by end of May. Company will never hit $100M in revenue and finally TM going to get exposed. Grab the popcorn folks, it’s going to be an amazing Picture Show this Summer
