Managed care will always be an issue no matter the drug you promote. It's good, not great but not horrible either. Main competition being supplements and generic Omega 3 will always pose a threat but we have a different product that shows significant CV benefit where those other options have failed to show. Not hard to sell doctors on the why. The real problem is managed care trying to sub it out, and pharmacists trying to make better margins on the others. Its gonna happen. Still it's an easy product to sell in my opinion. Alot of excitement around our data.

I’d download the free app “formulary search” on your iPhone or iPad. Will give you all the info you need. If you are ok with the comp plan I’d apply. Despite what others have posted....it’s a very good drug backed by impressive clinical data.
 












it has nothing to do with what kind of car you have. It’s all based on your zip code. It ranges from $350-$600 depending on cost of living and other factors in your area

Couldnt hurt. TSP is doing the majority of first calls with applicants.
 






There are some positions posted for entry level reps and some posted for more experienced. The salary varies. For those who have been in the industry a long time, welcome to the re-emergence of pod selling. UGH!
 






























so it is an uncapped bonus? what is the max you’ve heard of someone earning with Amarin? also- do you know if they have sales contest each quarter? new to pharma and just curious :)

I know some reps are doing very well in the 20+ per quarter range. But those are reps that basically had to grow from nothing (new territory with low volume starting out). Most people will do 100% of their quota. It is uncapped and they do have contests each quarter.

Thank you for your valuable information. Any special tips for a f2f interview?
 






Lol, will they hire washed up 65 year old retired reps with decades of experience selling statins, bile acid sequestrants, and launching multiple diabetes medications??!!
