    Does anyone know what the Primary Care bag structure will look like for 2017? Also, will territory / district boundaries be changing?

    I don't know about district or territory boundaries, but it seems like bag structure will remain the same. Group 3 has already picked up specialists so most likely will keep DULERA and ASMANEX, and CTL has said that BELSOMRA isn't going away. Have heard that clusters will be going from 3 up to 2 where not already at that place.

    Districts need to be restructured. CTLs should have a minimum of 12 reps per district. There are some districts with as few as 7 reps.

    Considering tenure of reps, managers should have 15-20 reps each.

    Just in and coming soon, Endo spec reps picking up vaccines and may report to new ctl's. Won't affect the masses, this is a very tiny group in the grand scheme of things.

    Spot on. What do CTLs truly expect to accomplish on field visits with tenured reps? It must be as painful for the CTLs as it is for the reps.

    I just had a close look over of my bag. It appears to be held in the correct location by well developed handles and loaded with two well designed and utilized products.

    Beware the CSO option. Group 3 is essentially toast, much cheaper way to keep some focus on DULERA and BELSORMA just aint cuttin it

    They had a CSO team selling Dulera, but they let them go several months ago!

    I awoke this morning and was flabbergasted that the bag had an enhanced handle structure!

    in my region probably 60% territories are 2 up. My CTL said that would be the trend moving forward. He said he did not know if layoffs would be utilized or let attrition optimize the structure. He said he was more concerned about CTL's status in the future.

    They realize they are in a place where their span of control is small considering the age and tenure of sales force.

    Overall the impression I got was the he felt their might be some reorganization of CTL and territories would generally move torward 2 up he just did not know how or when it would occur.

    I do trust the guy as we have been friends on a personal level for years.

    With lipids going generic and competing ICS/LABA to DULERA eg ADVAIR going generic, it makes absolutely no sense for us to continue with full time reps for resp drugs, I predict back to CSO, particularly after terminating all the RSS and giving back the SLIT bomb

    At some point "Chiefs" need so many "Indians" to command ( politically incorrect, I know but feel free to go to your "safe zone' if this reference offends). Frankly, a pharma reps primary purpose, if not their only purpose today, is to maintain the shaky management structure above. This job is dead! and has been for quite some time. Everybody sees the elephant in the living room but few seem willing to point it out

    If you disagree with this post then ponder this: If Merck was your company, would you pay reps what you get paid to do what you do? Even more, would you pay managers what they get paid to do what they do? Think about these questions this coming week as you "work" your territory.

    100% agree. I've moved on but had 18 as a CTL at one point to cover a vacancy. Was the best situation ever. Who the hell wants wants to see their CTL 1-2x per month? Useless work and I walked.

    Sick of CTL BS! What do CTLs really do? Annoy the F&$@ out of reps and Docs. Maybe they should be forced to Sell Belsomra and talk about Jane
