2 day field rides.. absolutely ridiculous







To the poster that says HQ employees work everyday with your manager so reps should stop complaining. Does your manager sit next to you for 2 days straight at your desk? Unless they pull up a chair in your cubicle, look over your shoulder at every task you do and then critique it, you have no part in this conversation.

Since ver few doctors will see a pharma rep, what do you and manager do for two days? Shopping at the mall? Going to the movies? Pigging oit at Olive Garden? ???
 






























Please help me understand why vacant territory sales are as good or better than rep territories?!?! Is the rep business model a charade? Should we do a JV with Jimmy Johns and fire the reps?

You’re bitching about 2 days. You’re a loser. Try presenting to executive leadership. That’s more work than your 20 second spiel.

I'll do it! All you have to do is get me an audience with Dez, Duane and the R.B.L.'s.
I have this killer idea that will totally save the C.R.M. division and eliminate the need for layoffs.
Check this out - we give Leqvio away.
For a year.
Instead of asking accounts to buy it, or having patients go to an A.S.O.C., we just make it available for free on the website and have the reps give a ton of it away.
What do you think? Not convinced?
O.K. - I was saving this for my presentation, but check this out: we pay the reps to give them away. Maybe even pay them double.
I bet they'll love it. I bet they'll agree that it is 4-D chess in a 3-D industry.
Maybe they'll promote me and I'll get a shitty home office job where I can work 60 hours a week and get paid for 40.
You let me know since you're the expert; if you're nice, I'll let you join me when I'm presenting.
