Do you guys make any money? From what I am reading on here it seems like it is one of the worst medical device companies to work for. I know Cafe Pharma isn't the best resource but their can also be a lot of truth on here too.
Do you guys make any money? In speaking with a recruiter I was told $125-135 my first year ($50K base) selling mainly Altrus (which sounds like a big joke from you guys). Is this not a next generation product? Do any Doctors like it?
Thank you for any feedback.
Here is a real factual answer for you, so I hope you appreciate the 15min I have dedicatred to respond to your questions. I have been with ConMed for a couple years. I would you suggest you reach out to reps on Linkedin not get your info from cafépharma. These folks on this board probably have good reason to be sour I would imagine, but I wonder what their motivation is, or if it’s based on old experiences.
Here’s a summary of the comp plan from notes I took at our NSM meeting:
50-60K – 60K is if you have device experience.
8K-36K bonus depending how much Altrus you sell 125K-200K target quotas.
20K bonus for total quota - 5K for each quarterly quota achievement.
1-2K- 1.5% monthly commissions on commodity products.
1-15K - 7.5% monthly commissions on Capital, Smoke, Altrus and Argon. This can fluctuate based on capital deals you close and how much Altrus you sell.
Paying out commission and giving sales credit for rewards program, also increased percentage to from 3% to 15% credit for ES supplies. This program is like the airlines frequent flyer program. This will help us hit our capital numbers.
15% commissions on all disposable sales as soon as you achieve prior year total sales which gets paid out day 1 not at the end of year like old plan – this is where management is telling us we can make good money.
Altrus can be sold, not an easy sale but can be done. I did not hit my Altrus number last year but with the new product improvements and what I have done in the Q4, I think I will sell at least a 150K next year.
Have new Argon products coming out (Davinci) and positive clinical supporting equivalence to Aquamantis.
I think last year's plan it would be a stretch to make 150K, but this year should be different. Good luck! I would suggest you go through the process get the order and then decide if you want the order.
