National Sales Meeting

[Anonymous]

The Energy NSM was great last year. Video VJ, Cool "Cold/Ice" Bar, spared no expense, etc.

The EMID NSM was a disaster. And we get to go back to Orlando and role play AGAIN this year? Because it was such a success last year?!? You wasted an entire day of training and recognition. It was a de-motivator for the field.

The reason sales are slumping this year isn't because EMID doesn't know how to sell. It's because National Accounts can't get their foot in the door and people in CT and Shared Services think that communicating with the field is below them.

Hopefully things change. Scott was the disaster and it takes a while to fix disasters

I heard the training Village idea came straight from Pharma,

Just to let everyone know,

This is not Pharma, this is "Surgical Devices".


From what I've heard, Most did not appreciate nor benefit from the training Village.

I guess you fix the disaster by wacking 1/4 of the EMID sales force like they are doing this week. What a way to motivate the troops. Hansen, you are the man. Great way to keep things the same as you promised.

They didn't cut 1/4 of EMID sales force you donk. It was less than 10 last Friday on the 16th. This isn't a story.

Are the cuts/realignments complete or will more reps be cut in the weeks to come?

REALLY!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!

You may be not be one of them; however,Covidien employs many unprofessional, immature individuals. Put that individual in a situation like the nsm, and antics are going to happen.

Yes, Covidien may react and get rid of that person; however, you have to wonder why the person made it through the whole HR and training process. Shows lack of professionalism within the organization.

Go ahead and disagree Covidien Guy, I'm just writing what others know...........you ain't as elite as you are fed to believe..............
