During this time, all posts will be available for view. However, no one will be able to make new posts during this time.


2 day field rides.. absolutely ridiculous































What a joke of a job! Lazy reps.. feeding cows all day. Choke on your cookies
Not one Leqvio unit gets sold unless a rep has worked fairly hard to sell it. Territories that aren’t selling Leqvio may well have some caterers, but the ones selling all the Leqvio have salespeople in them.
Please don’t reply to this with the “providers can’t get it” refrain. It’s your job as a buy and bill rep to sell it to them.

You’d be nothing without your ABL.

Tele reps w outperform field reps everyday! Truth matters!
 












I can say must of us get 5 minutes or less. If anyone tells you otherwise is lying. I am sure someone will come on and say I suck that's why I get no time hahaha.
More like 30 seconds. Of course I have my docs trained that if they see me plus another person to give me an extra minute. In re lunches, I always ask the manager to PLEASE see that the docs come in if my manager is with me, otherwise I could care less if they show up or not. Remember people, this is nothing more than a game. Learn to play it like a pro!

The ABLs are golden. They bring value so listen to what they say. They know all the pieces ro the puzzle.

Since everyone will have even more time with their ABL's, ask them about the purchasing cycle for Leqvio.
Ask them who does what as far as pulling through Leqvio syringes (it doesn't have to be specific to an account, just in general).
Ask them how s.i.RNA works and why it is different than monoclonal antibodies.
Follow up and ask specific questions about M.O.A.
Can they give you a reasonably accurate/coherent answer?
If they can, you're lucky, and you should listen to their feedback.
The vast majority won't have a clue, and when they offer you a vacant stare and mutter something about call averages, you'll have your cue to ignore them.
What Dez doesn't understand is that coaching from someone who doesn't even know how the drug works is completely worthless.
If the point is babysitting, than get new reps who will leave the house; or, better yet, put together an I.C. plan that will incentivise reps to leave the house.

Exactly. My manager has no clue and would be the first to say so, but has no problem constantly criticizing….or “coaching,” as we call it at Novartis.
 












Most of the ABLs here have the brain capacity of an earthworm and think that spreadsheets and checking boxes equate to sales! A huge problem with the sales team are these lame ass ABLs who literally bring no excitement and no value to the job. They rely on the reps to baby sit them so they can justify their pointless jobs.

the ABL's are sweet dream lovers
 






I was hoping the “culture” initiative I would hear on this Town Hall was going to be appreciation and trust by pulling the ABLs out of our territories.
I’m just hearing the word “culture” a lot and no actions associated with changing anything.
 


















HQ employees work every day with their managers! Our reps are spoiled whiners
The same H.Q.that has produced such legendary fuck ups as Dez, Duane, Sandeep, Jeff and the Leqvio launch team?
That H.Q.?
The same H.Q. that bought incliseran for $9.5B dollars?
That H.Q.?
The same H.Q. that produces marketing gems like "Tony prefers two shots per year"?
That H.Q.?
The fact that someone signs your paycheck is a testament to this companies enduring buffoonery.
