6385 - psych

Well, I haven't checked this message board since April. I got on with another pharma company back in late February and have been too busy to check up. Some hilarious posts!! I got a call to do an interview with a DM, but I had to decline due to the information (or lack of information) that this new DM had to offer. The whole contract sounded pretty flimsy and I have settled in to a pretty good sales job with my new company. Sorry, don't mean any disrespect. The DM I spoke with didn't do a very good job of promoting this position to me. Hope I am wrong. I am sure that there are some good DM's and reps on the contract. Anyway, I was just wondering what was happening with this Labopharm contract. When do the reps get out into the field? Have you been through training? Where did you go? I don't know of any ex-NovaQuest reps who got hired. I'm sure that some did. Most of my 8822 district (as far as I know) said, "see you later", and moved on to other jobs. Looking forward to seeing you in the offices. Best of Luck!!

P.S. I am calling on mostly FP's, IM's, Ped's so I won't be in the Psych wards with you guys (not competing). Are you calling on fam prac? Sorry, I am scatter-brained with this post. Need some strattera!!! HA

why would you care about the Labopharm contract, you douchebag, if you're working in "a great job" somewhere else? Maybe you don't have a job or you're trolling for info.

Whatever... It appears that most of the people doing the name calling feel like they are superior if they put someone down. I am sorry that you have a self esteem problem and calling people names on an anonymous message board is something you think is brave. Maybe you should make some prank phone calls or make a phone call in to the Jim rome show.... talk some "smack"..... anonymously. I have a lot of friends that work/worked for NovaQuest that I went through training with back in 2004 (Louisville) and (as I said in my previous post) I don't mean any disrespect and I hope it all works out. You just chose to pick out the one phrase that you didn't agree with. The DM that I spoke with appeared to not do a very good job of explaining the position. I will be surprised if he doesn't move on to another company. He had been let go by big pharma and was acting as if he had a chip on his shoulder for contract sales. That was just my impression and my opinion. So what if I have a great job with another company. I'm not allowed to ask a simple question on the Innovex message board? Get a grip. I have seen a few boxes of Oleptro on the shelves out there as of lask week, so I assume the reps have been trained and are out there. I can't wait to see how it's going and what their impression of Quintiles is.

You are a F**king loser

Were the initials CB? I interviewed with him. He was kinda of an air head and didn't seem very secure about being laid off from his last gig. It is obvious that he was interviweing. I felt like I was more or less interviewing him. He's only been in pharma and nothin' else... huge chip on his shoulder and in for a rude awakening as he has never sold in copiers, device, or cap. equipment.
 






just curious: is the C in CB charles/chuck from the northeast area? I had a DM a few years back with these initials, he never did anything except pharma, and if it's the same guy, would explain why I wasn't called in to interview for this contract.
 






Not the same guy. This guy thought that he was absolutely great because his entire career was from one big pharma company. He made a face when he saw that I had some device exp. God forbid.

Nope, not CB. However, it's funny that there are probably several DM's that are in charge of selecting people that won't last 1 year. They will move on when this thing tanks.... or even sooner.Be glad that you are not involved with this.
 






I have a list of reps from 8822.I understand the frustration. The list I have was sent on or after the final numbers for sales of Cymbalta. I will tell you that the people who were hired from 8822 to Labopharm were not the top sales reps.

Many of us from the Eli Lilly contract and have past pharma sales experience (with great numbers, and great numbers with Cymbalta) are not even being looked at.

I have experience with new product launches, new classes of meds, I will work and MOVE anywhere... I want to be employed. I will pay my own expenses to move ANYWHERE. I am single, no kids, please look at others like me and myself. I will work part time; full time; I want to work. I have experience to be a manager, BUT I want to W o r k.

WHY are you paying for my unemployment.... when I want to W o r k?

I have worked for GSK and MERCK...WHAT is going on that I am not HIRED?
 






Try not to let it get you down! I feel your pain! I felt the same way... have lots of experience, big pharma & contract, launched several drugs, called on specialists, but did not get on the Oleptro contract. I couldn't tell you what they were looking for! A few of my friends did get on, but most either didn't get an interview or had already moved on to something else. It may take a while, but keep putting yourself out there. If you have a good recruiter from Quintiles in your area, you might want to ask them to review your resume and give you some suggestions. I had a few DMs and a couple of recruiters look at mine and made some major changes. I have a job I've just started recently, but I went through several interviews and lots of rejection prior to getting here. It just seems to take the right moment with the right person for it to all work out. Have Faith!!! Your opportunity may be waiting just around the corner! Good Luck!

Well, I called it back in August. The DM that I interviewed with for the Oleptro position is gone. Took a rep position with another company. They should have hired back some of the 8822 DM's. They had loyalty..... but Quintiles/NovaQuest/Innovex/Labopharm/Angelini decided to hire new DM's from the outside..... after a more than successful launch with Cymbalta. Smart move, Quintiles!! I'm sure that there are other DM's that have done the same.

I hope Quintiles starts showing some loyalty to their reps that they currently have or ones that have recently lost contracts. They should have the first priority. That does not seem to be happening. It's really sad.

Quintiles is lead by a bunch of idiots who think these products sell themselves. They hired a bunch of outsiders who are jumping ship because they don't know how to launch a product. Quintiles showed their true colors..... and I hope they suffer because of it.
 






























Look. I am a psychiatrist and I have been practicing for over 20 years. A rep friend of mine told me about this drug and I can't believe you are going to try to push this med. If one of your reps comes into my office with this, he will regret it. Trials for drugs like this are not done in the real world. People will fall asleep while driving and hurt others. There is no way that the delivery system is going to make a damn bit of difference with this. I know you think that your paid for "thought leaders" really believe in this drug, but they are just doing it for the paycheck. No one needs a once daily trazodone. NO ONE!
Are you also going to request the FDA pur Benadryl containing products back on Rx status for he same reason????
