Accelerator $$$

Just as it has been for the last 3 years, only the reps with exforge and diovan will be able to benefit from this joke of a program. Those of us with reclast and exelon patch continue to get screwed with lofty goals and an unfair system, once again, rewarding the cv clones. Just once I wish I had exforge and diovan, just once.
 












CV rep here....What makes you think the Exforge or Diovan goals are attainable? Its different for everyone across the country. Some have very attainable Reclast & Patch goals others don't. Beleive me , They are trying to squeeze every ounce of blood out of Diovan before going generic. And once that happens, they know the pharmacies are going to make docs split Norvasc & Diovan. Patients will be able to get it for 2 $4.00 co-pays. $8.00, how do you compete with that selling a branded 2nd Tier drug like Exforge for $30-50 bucks?

They only give a small weighted % on Diovan to those that have it. As for Exforge, they make it JUST a bit unattainable. There isn;t one district or territory in our entire region that is at Exforge goal. They are all around 96-98% to plan.

They dangle the carrot just enough to tell you " ohhh a little bit more and you can do it!" Then once the payouts come they will pull the rug out from all of us and say great job but you just missed it!!!

Do nothing and get paid is what I say. They are going to screw you twice. 1. by not paying you out and screwing with the numbers like always and 2. by laying you off and saying thanks for busting your ass for 3 months for nothing, the higher ups appreciate the bonus they will all get!

My suggestion -

1. Do as little as possible to get by, get 3-4 signatures/day.
2. Give them 8-10 calls/day
3. Dust off the resume
4. Give it out to your friends who are doctors to pass out (if you want to stay in Pharma)
5. Find a second job during the day (for some extra dough)
6. Start creating a business plan for your own business

Anything is better than Pharma....its a dead industry!
 






Interesting too that those of us that are layed off in April will only have January data when we leave (maybe Feb if we can keep the computer long enough) sure we can find out the tantalyzer numbers from people who are still with e company but by and large the check you get in July will be a surprise. The few that get the big money should be thankful cause most won't see anything near what they are telling us about
 






Amen to the above 2 comments!

We aren't going to get S**T!!! Vasella , Jimenez and the crew will see to that!

That BS accelerator was only to satisfy the stockholders to show the reps are motivated to some extent!

If the Accelerator is so PHENOMENAL, then why haven't they offered this type of motivation all along? Pay the reps a decent commission, provide goals that are somewhat attainable and I guarantee you will have reps working their butts off! For God's sake....$21,000 for the year if you are at 100% ...Come on!

However, how can you bank on the numbers being right when Novartis testified in open court that the IMS numbers shown to the field reps are not a true indication to what a territory brings in!
