Generally, a case rep from, say, Stryker and Tornier are in the OR during each surgery their joint is being implanted. Have 2 friends in Houston that both sell the implants, advise the surgeons and assist during the procedure. These 2 don't have anyone between them, the company and surgeons. Average about 350k each

Not surprised. That’s a sales rep dream. Just surprises me how the system gets set up in the first place. The most predominant other place I see it is in liquor sales. It’s unbelievable that these people are able to sit back and collect large amounts of money without much effort. Good for them I guess.

The companies large enough to supply their own distribution and have thier own distribution chain don't need a distributor.

Those that manufacture the product but don't have the means to ship in bulk nationwide use a distributor for this.

Pretty simple. What am i missing?
