a new era







All AHC's please watch what you ask for we have a good gig here ..for now,I have my VTS sell to my Vets, I get to ranch 3 days a week and meet my numbers, my RM stays home (that's what he does best) my team members get to take and pick up their kids everyday (in the company SUV), go fishing and take care of their yards and plants, be a stay home daddy...we don't have it bad! But, I agree with all of you, those in Shawnee are going to screw this up while screwing the vets first then us! Off to make my dialing for dollars...lol
 






We all should just stay quite, hang on tight and ride this out. Things always change and the drivers are the ones who get taken away. We are just passengers on a failing mission. I had a Vet tell me this week that they are doing everything they can to make sure Multi will never be the choice broad spectrum product in their hospital group. The encouraging thing is that they promised to give me a good reference with Pfizer, Elanco, Novartis, or Merial. They understand that this ride I am on is out of my control and while they will support any Advantage brands they will support me wherever I land in the future!
 












But the corporate charade is over. I thank Bayer for that. I've moved on...fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice... well you know.

No I don't know? This is the accurate saying - "Fool me once, shame on you.....fool me twice, shame on me". Meaning, if you're dumb enough to get fooled twice....it's your own fault.

Maybe that's your problem doc. You're just gulliable. Not all drug companies are scumbags. Merial and Bayer are though.
 
























I now have my old distributors swapping out our Advantage family products for Comfortis, Frontline, or Trifexis. We have made this way too easy. Pissed off the distribution and the Vets at the same time. My competitors best friend is Bayer right now.
 












This thread is too interesting to get buried. Has anyone read from the beginning? Bayer really does not care about its reps or vet accounts. Peter, would you care to comment, truthfully?
 






Get over it and move on you whining little children! Welcome to the real world. Sorry corporate America can't coddle you for your entire professional careers. If you are still dwelling on the actions taken by Bayer, I feel sorry for you and your practice.

Well put. And the reason they sell to big stores at a cheaper price is because of volume. What kind of moron can't understand that?

Bayer rep not welcome in my practice anymore and I sell minimal amount of product (a little Drontal and Profender).
Merial rep is welcome (is nice and agrees with me about the company), but I don't buy from Merial as well.
Crapped on by Bayer and Merial, that was your mgmnts choice. All I can do is clean myself up and decide where to spend my $ and what to educate my clients about and where to direct them.
I feel sorry for the reps. I don't know what mgmnt was thinking. Maybe the next generation of vets will forget. I won't.
