I know where you are coming from Tracy but trust me, if a clinic does set-up an environment of "commission earnings", it actually produces a competive environment. The clinics who compensate their consultants on a commission basis are almost always, if not always, money driven, and so their reps are put in a position to meet quotas and goals. Their reps are trained to "close the deal", not necessairly to think of the patients' best interest. This includes saying no to desperate individuals who are driven emotionally by their hairloss yet may not even be a candidate for HT surgery.
Yet the consultant may have a slow month going and has rent, car payments coming up. The reps have to answer to their sales managers as to why their not closing more surgeries and really put the pressure on.
It puts patients across the board at higher risk of being sold, not properly counseled. How many times do we hear about someone being sold a HT and did not even need one! He/she puts up their before pics and you and I and others are telling them that they never even needed a HT. Yet the fatal mistake many patients make is to tell the consultant or doctor that they already have the money to pay for a procedure.
I still hear about it to this day.
