AZ ads on TV are so queer its embarassing, and I don't even work for AZ.

Then shut your pie hole.
Another AZ executive heard from.
Speed bump...you just go puke your sales piece on your doctor's shoes, bring him a donut, have a dinner program for his nurses, and do a lunch a day.......just be a legend in your own mind....be a superstar. Then go home and let your neighbors who have real jobs, laugh about the Dufuss next door who works for the company with most moronic, sophmorish marketing programs ever witnessed by mankind.
As a rep who sold multiple diabetes products for other companies, I cannot imagine how anyone can sell Farxiga, with all its issues (UTI's, bladder cancer). There are so many other, better options out there. I'm currently out of work, but would never apply for a job involving Farxiga. I'll take on janitorial work before stooping so low as to sell this piece of crap.
So true. How many times has someone asked you how you know if you sold anything? Then you try to explain to them how Rxs are tracked and reported but if you go into the actual details about how DDD is reported they get this glazed over stare similar to ours when management tries to explain how managed care is factored in and how non reporting pharmacies are sampled in. And heaven help us if we tried to explain how anything we do can be tracked back to us since 5 or more fucking PSSs sell the same drug to the same customers. So I usually just laugh and say, I am a drug pusher. Which explains why I can live in a $600 K house, have a membership to the most exclusive country club in town, and am home by 2 P.M. every day and rarely leave the house except to play golf on Mondays and Fridays.I feel your pain. I understand about the neighbors. There is no good in living a lie, but they pay well. It is humiliating. AZ loves it. AZ understands that all salespeople are their minion slaves, and the sickos love it.
Laughing at the truth in most of these replies. I feel like a douche when I complain about the absurdity of this job to friends who actually work for a living. I make more than my friends. So when I complain about being a caterer, catching shit from office cows and docs who are so entitled that they criticize what food I bring, managers that work with you a half day once a moth, etc they look at me like I am from outer space. It does pay incredibly well for what we actually do. If there was something else that paid the same and was not embarrassing to honestly disclose at cocktail parties, I would jump at it. But, then again, any other job would require a 40 hour plus work week and have accountability. So as I type this I realize that my friends are right. I shouldn't be bitching. I should laugh my way to the bank and maybe find a second gig that gives me the self respect I lose going in with donuts early enough to beat the Lilly reps and bite my lip when the office says, "what, no onion bagels."

You really cannot explain what it is you do during an average day to others, and especially not to your spouse. I.E, only a couple of minutes per day actual face time at best in front of physicians with the rest of the time driving, lunches, busy work, meetings, goofing off, and timing when to get a signature.
In truth, we spend so much time trying to give the 'appearance of being busy' and 'leaving footprints' that one barely thinks of the actual sales call at all. When reps call one another, as we frequently do, it's more often to talk about the miserable state of affairs than to discuss business.
What's the name of that dance they do in the farcexiga ads?? ?the butt jiggle shuffle?
