We're all the same

To all the folks reading this junk and arguing who has better products, support, management, ect. It's all B.S. We are all essentially the same. We all have like products with "good" mid to long term data that is spun a million different ways. We all have marketing folks and interns trying to find the one vantage point that doesn't truly effect medicine, but simply their next move or advancement within the company. We all have engineers that drink the kool-aid and recite familiar verbiage to collect a check worthy of their education. The big 5 companies, and some smaller companies, all have market share somewhere with people making good livings. what makes any company "successful" in a certain area (minus consultancies) is the REP! The rep, for whatever company, that knows his/her products/competitors/specs/theory's the best, preparers for the worst when not expected, gives pertinent usable feedback, templates every case (just in case), grabs an extra bin of polys' (because he/she knows the doc fucks one up on a regular basis), does the circulators job in the OR to help efficiency, and can socialize with anyone is going to thrive no matter what company they represent. Us successful reps are waiting for the company that recognizes and rewards this fact. As the crunch happens, the company that stops the dollars flowing into the mass "sales mails/useless advertisements", marketing pow-wows, and reverses commission cuts, and decides to reward the front line sales folks for what truly drives what fuels any business, SALES, will be the biggest winner. We are waiting and willing to move.

We're all the same
