This thread is dumb. My 6 year old could sell our products as well as anyone. Closed suction has 95% market share, Oral Care is a horrible product that only gets sold if the hospitals are broke and need to save someone's job, Microcuff is what? 7-8 years old now and we have what? $5-6 million in sales...maybe, and last Bal-Cath which has about $2 million in sales after 15 years. Are we getting the picture yet folks? In case anyone was wondering there will be no more investments in innovation on either the DH or RH side. I don't care if you believe me or not just know that I know. These two divisions will likely be sold of in a few years for a huge chunk of $$$ thanks to Ballard products(which would be a smart move).
How many folks are there in our entire Marketing team, both upstream and downstream??
About 70% less than there needs to be in order to develop and launch new products (see 2005-2009 and how big our marketing dept was then). Just collect a check and enjoy one of the most laid back medical sales jobs on the planet while you can.
Been here for decade and its never been this bad, ever.
