Ethicon Endo Breast Care Division

Quote






























Everybody thinks Ethicon is some great, high paying device company. They just buy into the JNJ name. Ethicon is well known in the device world as being as place to start in the business and not make a lot of money. Sure it is decent money and better than a sharp stick in the eye.

Ethicon and all of its divisions are very pharma like. What else would you expect from a Pharma company which JNJ is.
 






Stay away from Breast Care. It is a sinking ship who cannot retain good qualified people. If you are in pharma and want to make a break into device this will probably be for you
 






9y9It is a SINKING ship! Alot of the former reps., including myself who have moved on, call it the
"MamoTanic"
Run, Run, Run, or should I say Swim, swim, swim away from this Disaster! They try to brain wash you with their Credo! It's all BS!
 






you guys are funny. Def some bitter former/onthewayout reps out there.

All I will add is that you can certainly convert business. I am doing it everyday chumps! Selling to rads is a real sell. The business is not sinking, take a look at the latest JNJ annual report. All time record earnings with EES specifically named in the call. I will say it is very competitive, lots of "me-too" companies out there...but we are hardly sinking.

See you at sales excellence suckers!!

Base is $75K + commish for new hire with merit increase yearly...should be at $100K base with the Saab by year 5.

"If you don't know...well, you don't know!"
 
























I don't think so!

The DM told me the salary and I worked directly with Radiologists! They do not converse well with poeple (generally speaking).
That's why they read films all day! They have minimal interaction with patients other than an occasional special procedure.

I worked in several hospitals in the midwest so don't tell me that I'm misinformed. I worked in the radiology business in addition to speaking with the DM.

I actually think I'm a bit more knowledgeable than the actual sales reps!

Dude seriously, look at yourself. You are a total duesch bag. I said you are absolutely wrong because you used ALL CAPS on the $50K thing. Ok, so you seem somewhat familiar with the pay plan...but it has gone up since you were fired...that's all I'm saying. So now can you at least admit you are a duesch bag? Rads are weirdos yes, but it's not rocket science. They are all good paying customers so I love em to that end. And when they leave you in the middle of the night for the competitor...fuck em, take there referral base.

Anyway, I love this board...it's great fun. IF you have a serious question I can help. I am rep. Forever? maybe not...but the trend cube is going up so why would I leave. Easy money and I run my own business. If the OR is your thing that's cool, there's some of that...but not too much. Usually in the rads office for 1-2hrs max...so you can hit several accounts a day. Selling rads...it's like selling anything else. Build rapport, ask questions, solve problems, then cash check.
 






I'm a Rep here to and the above poster is right on. The $25K salaray increase is just the boost a lot of us needed to get out there and take back the business we started in the first place.

If you like making a difference in women's lives every day than this job is for you. Most of us here are related to someone or know someone that has been affected by breast cancer. It's part of what makes us proud of what we do.
 
























top money rep is in San Diego...she got close to $300K last 2 years. Top 10 prob avg closer to $200-$225K. Middle of the pack right over forecast is $150Kish. At plan is $126K for new hire. Add in cost of living adjustment for metro areas and annual merit increases and prob most people are around $160K a year.

NOt many threads on breast care division on this board. Most of the talk is about Core side. Much different business. Very little contract selling here (none for me) so I would say it's closer to that "real sales" phrase that is thrown around here.


Downside is no new products...but they keep promising. 2010 starting off rough as well across the country. BUt the thing with this company is that they are doing the right thing...which as bad as it sounds is to actually lower the territory forecast. If not...they will probably lose many quality reps.
