KAM's: #1 reason to be a KAM

So what? They, too, have worthless people doing nothing.

 

Poster #281...I was correcting an incorrect statement that Allergan doesnt have KAMs. That's not true. It's a relatively new team, but nonetheless they do exist.

 

How long ago did Pfizer let go of their KAM team?

 

KAMs are incentivized to grow the disease state and not Pfizers brand. This is wrong on many levels. Why would Pfizer do this? Someone is attempting to justify the KAM job. Warfarin, Pradaxa and Xarelto growth has the same incentive value as Eliquis. Do our shareholders know this?

 

When did we dump our KAM team? Check it---a few months before the companies led by former Pfizer people started hiring their ex-Pfizer KAM friends.

I've just celebrated my 20th, and besides our regional marketing manager disasters, and those awful General Business Managers we had (Dee M? Tom G? REALLY?!), I'd have to say that our whole KAM experiment here was the unmitigated disaster of all time. Who told us that DMs that weren't good enough to keep their "sales manager" jobs could all of a sudden morph into a KAM that brought value?

We deserve everything that we get in the coming months….

 

KAMS need to have a rare and indispensable skill, which is 1 part Hollywood screenwriter (creating fiction) and 1 part undermining the work of others and throwing them under the bus (taking credit for other people's work)

Most people don't have the conscience to earn what they earn for not doing anything. Most are either locked out of their accounts or depend on a rep to get them into their accounts.

 

there are good KAMS and bad KAMs, good reps and bad reps, good DMs and bad DMs. GET OVER IT

 

what do you call the following positions ?
Pfizer KAM Eliquis
BMS KAM Eliquis
Pfizer IS Rep Eliquis
BMS IS Rep Eliquis

Cluster F

 

Exactly correct. You should be promoted to VP anf fire these worthless losers.

 

2016 has passed. Were there any KAM outcomes?

 

It's called kick the kam's down the road. Check back in a year. (sad)

 

Only Pfizer would let scores of DMs go….create a worthless new position, and hire their good ol' boys-n-girls back to staff up the department.

 

Worthless as tits on a boar

 

You seriously resurrected this post after 5 years?! Really?!

 

Respectfully, your local KAM who is still working on a smoking cessation project from 5 years ago in your 100 bed hospital!

 

Hate to disappoint but the Onc KAMs in my region do a good job. And, no, I'm not a KAM.

 

Why do they need to pay someone above a manager level salary just to talk about disease state? Can't the people who sell the products just mention the disease state their product treats, and how to identify these patients? Seems like a huge waste of money.

 

you would think

 

Essentially our KAM role was a holding pen for deported district managers that were cronies or sycophants of people two levels up in the org chart.
