Osteohealth







Your Board? Yeah right!!!! You best start looking for a new employer!!!!!!

Why don't you learn how to speak proper English, if you don't work here then get a life and move on. It is crazy to me how people obsess over OHD after they have left, its creepy and sad. If you are so happy then why do you waste your time reading another companies board and trying to make people feel bad? Pretty pathetic in my opinion. Bob, Donna, Kevin and Mark, move on already!!!!

You should begin your search for a new employer sooner than later.

Hey at 1:44PM shouldn't you be working and not posting on Cafepharma. This board is not an OHD board, it is a board for sales professionals to air their views. Are you feeling bad or is it that the truth hurts. I know why you are posting at 1:44 PM, you sold all the Bio-Oss that you had in inventory. Good luck selling Sprix, GEM 21 and MucoGraft and........Mr. Ed, Black Beauty, Silver and Secretariat.

Was just told that my name was mentioned on this board. Funny because this is my first time posting on this board. I hope your sales ability is better than your detective work. Classless individual.
 












I can't believe their slot machine is speaking about equine bone. Everything we said about Bio-OSS is a lie. Let me introduce you to my friend Flicka. I wonder when you are going to lose Gem. You went from a $50M to probably $10M company. How can you support a large salesforce? Luitpold will eventually get out of the dental business.
 






who really cares what happens to this company or the people who run it. This board is giving it to must creedance. Every product has a life cycle and Bio-Oss has run its course. The reserach has already been paid for. OHD remained stagnant and put their eggs in the GEM 21 basket. They were hoodwinked with this product. On the subject of equine bone- Luitpold Pharmaceuticals are committed to providing new educational resources to the equine veterinary community and horse owners. Working with the AAEP to improve the health and welfare of horses, Luitpold will continue to support joint disease educational efforts in equine veterinary practices. Are they making horses healthy to turn around and process them to replace Bio-Oss?
 






Geistlich's Group Manager for International Sales walking the floor at AAP. They are coming to try to recapture the US market share they have lost. He said that what type of credibility will OHD have if they start selling equine. The man has a point.
 


















Yes. But they do not know the US market. They are going to get eaten alive. BioOss and BioGide are as good as done!


I'd like to agree with you, but except for one thing. They already have penetrated the U.S. market, they are not a new product where it's important to know the market. The funny thing with Bio-Oss, as bad as it sucks, they have some loyal users out there. Once it's available, my opinion is that the loyal users will welcome it with open arms. What happens after that who knows. I'll tell you what though, if you are a good regen rep, I'd jump all over working for them in the U.S. Market. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a defection of Osteohealth reps here in the U.S.

There wont be a defection of Osteohealth reps. Dont think any have any regen experience let alone dental. Probably why they lost so much market share the last couple of years. Bio Oss had its day. Allo's work much better. It has been available all along so loyal customers wont be coming back. They already have left! Geistlich will make a big push but at the end of the day docs will remember why they left in the first place.

Not being negative, just stating the truth!

It will take Geistlich at least a year to establish a decent trained sales force and forge a new relationship with the customer base. In that time BioOss and BioGide will lose even more market share. In the meantime main competitors and Osteohealth will be going after the customer base aggressively. Can you say blood bath?
 






If they lower the price they will be able to regain their existing customer base and gain new ones. Price has always been a huge issue as OHD kepts raising prices every year. They were marking up the price, especially on Bio-Gide by almost 600%!!!

If Geistlich brings on experienced regen reps and lowers prices by 25%, the market will certainly listen. And with the middle man cut out, that shouldn't be a problem to do.

That isn't going to happen.
