Brand new VP of sales already quit! Packert needs to wake up

Zoll can't even get insurance companies to pay for this so called device. I'm really terrified of that non compete though. This place is an incredible joke. Btw potential new hires Zoll is the biggest running joke in the medial sales space.

Don't be terrified. This is the same company that can't get certain insurance companies to cover their product year after year, can't keep a VP around, can't figure out that their own comp plan is driving the 2-year turnover rate, can't figure out that hospitals consider 2x2 appalling, etc.

True that
 






Yup Packert needs to wake up. Quite honestly he is the one that has caused a lot of this as he put the people and guidelines in place that have allowed the constant turn over and crazy ideas that paint reps and managers as poor performers. He hired JR in to the director role when his only experience was taking the top team in the nation and led them to dead last. Yes, he rewarded that with a promotion to director. JR then set up some managers to fail and then called them poor performers and then made some of the craziest manager hires ever. My geography won't ever recover from some of the good people that were pushed out of the organization. Yes, I'm here because those jobs were open, but I can't be successful because the there were good people here some time ago and JR pushed them out. I'm tired of hearing from customers on how Zoll screwed them. Packert doesn't know a good leader if it bit him in the ass. He needs to go as he is the biggest problem holding the company back. Let's face it he kept an engineer in charge for way too long.

YES
 




































It is interesting to me that the leadership posts consistently offer no value, no insight, no information that supports their claims. Yet the TMs, PSRs, and RMs are consistently offering actual facts about the company and its issues. What I find fascinating about that is that they don't recognize how silly their posts are AND how much they illustrate and support what we are suggesting about their poor leadership. This is the ultimate irony at Zoll - the things they do to prove how awesome they are only illustrate how elementary, juvenile, and outside industry standards they are. But they never know it, so they keep at it. Really fascinating.

I guess ignorance really is bliss, the Japanese parent company won't ignore a lack of growth and a ever-climbing turnover rate forever.

Zoll leadership has great foresight. They have the ability to successfully navigate the company through the uncertain waters that are Obamacare. We employees, instead of taking jabs at them, should be thanking them that Zoll is still an operational company. They are working with very little and getting huge results.

Zoll leadership has one single ability and that is to lie to everyone and everywhere including on this site.

dopey-dipshit didn't Obama care widen the scope on a population of patients that were totally uninsured? Let me guess you were actually going to get the hospitals to lease more. Too your point of "huge results" without addressing at least a handful of the well detailed concerns on this site, we would love to hear the rationale.

So Now the brand-new VP of sales has quit already after only being here for several months. The VP of sales before him JP quit/got fired(nobody knows the truth), because he wanted to make the changes that were needed and nobody would listen. So as the regional manager that I am, I am asking you JW, our new CEO, at what point in time are you going to make some serious changes at this organization where we can retain good people? If having 2 VPs quit within a six-month time is not a red flag to any potential employees or current employees that are looking to leave that there are major issues here, then I don't know what is. My TMs are all miserable, they're sick of the bullshit at this place, and I can't retain anybody anymore, nonetheless when I interview for new candidates once I get serious on them they do their homework and refuse to take the job and turn it down. Now this is getting absolutely to the point of ridiculousness now at this company.when you have the unbelievable turnover rate that this company has, and 2 vice presidents that Have quit and left in a 6 month short timeframe, don't you think that that adds a lot of credibility to negative statements that are said on this website? Rick packert, you need to do your job and make the necessary changes as a leader. This has gone on for way too long. If I don't see changes in the next 3 months at this organization, I'll be the next regional manager resigning on top of the many others that have. oh,and just to be clear, I'm a top performing regional manager and always have been at this organization. Come on guys? What kind of message is it to the whole organization and potential new employees when a brand-new VP of sales comes on board and quits after a few months? This has got to stop.
 






This place is a joke!! Intake, Authorization, Exceptions, Especially Ops. How can an organization be so stupid? Well it seems like someone should listen now because the money is starting to slow down. Maybe someone will actually see how unhappy the sales teams are. How stupid can you be by not investing in the sales teams. They are the people you need to make happy. Your quota growth is so dumb and you add an additional $200 to each TM who gets help from the SSR. This company is horrible. I am looking for different opportunities but I am taking my time because I don't want to leave this hell hole for another one. Rick needs to wake up. Your leadership team sucks. Your ADs have no balls---they just have the title. It is a good product and I am happy to see the company not making plan. They can't make plan because they have NO plan. Get it together LifeVest.

YES. This really boils down to poor leadership. The answers Zoll needs lie within the organization .. there is just no one with any power/competence to listen. I've never seen such unqualified people setting such mission critical policies and procedures. These managers/"leaders" are just making it up as they go ... literally, they are making it up as they go. And it take a mass exodus or massive headhunting fees for them to realize, Gee ... uh, maybe there's a problem here.

Where are best practices from other industries? Where are industry experts and people with actual degrees and relevant experience? Why isn't the feedback from those on the front line being heard and incorporated? Do they even realize they have TMs and RMs with vast industry experience and advanced degrees? Why are those people ignored while those who are half as experienced calling the shots?

I have no choice at this point but to look elsewhere. It is a shame, but it will be the biggest relief of my life.
