    Not all VKCL's act this way but there are quite a few who think they can boss reps around or get them to do their dirty work as if the reps work for them. Remember VKCL's many of you are former CTL's with little to no sales experience and it definitely shows with getting the reps to do your work for you routine because you know nothing about vaccine sales. You better learn how to sell and get access to difficult accounts quick! I know you guys thought that the vaccine sales rep job was easy but if it's so easy, why are you constantly hounding reps to get appointments for you or making your reps give you sales data to justify your existence to your clueless DCO? Keep treating the reps like crap and your access will become even less. You have been warned so back off!

    My VKCL not only directs my fellow reps and I, but she questions our activity in accounts that she does not even touch as if she is the CTL. She looks at sales info and calls about issues that I have already spoken to my own manager about. And is none of her business. Someone needs to get these VKCLs under control.

    Sorry to hear that. Mixing public sector with private for one account position was a very bad idea. The public sector account managers had great relationships with our biggest customer, the government and many of them had a lot of vaccine experience. Once again the inexperienced vaccine leadership decided go ruin relationships with customers again like they did with this whole multi specialty position just to bring in more tablet folks to vaccines.

    Sanofi piloted this same one account manager to cover public and private last year. The pilot failed because they realized you needed two different skill sets to handle two different types of customers. Merck does not care about customers. Merck cares about saving jobs for its favorite backstabbing suck ups from its dying tablet division.

    A life preserver for former koolaid chugging, backstabbing ctl's. The one in Michigan is the poster boy for failure with the position. Steal account information from reps and putting together pointless meetings with C suite executives that do not lead to increase in doses of vaccines.

    It seems that the VKCL position is one that could be eliminated. There is no need for the duplication that the job creates. There just is not a need for them here in Texas.

    I'm not from Texas, (northeast if you must know) but I agree there is not a need for VKCLs anywhere. I had to laugh at this post. This probably came from a VKCL and it shows that they are idiots and they even know that the job is not needed.

    What does VKCL stand for?
    Vaccine Know-it-All Customer Leader?

    Realize that some worthless idiot in WP convinced some higher level imbecile that there was actual value in creating this VK position. And they probably got a promotion for their brilliant idea.

    Unfortunately, VKCL's and CTL's will be the last be let go. Merck management and marketing have made sure they would alienate customers with the whole challenge the customers sales tactics and pressure to shorten the sales cycle nonsense. As providers close more doors to reps this will lead to more rep layoffs. Large providers will eventually only deal with Merck people who will have the power to offer real vaccine discounts and VKCL's and CTL's will be merged into one type of account managers who will have that power.

    SS has made plenty of enemies amongst his VKCL peers with his backstabbing and extreme sucking up to his DCO.
