Accera and Axona.....

[Anonymous]

Then after Nestle "buys" Accera??? Will the sales force be let go and Axona will be sold by Nestle team?

 

[Anonymous]

Not according to the recruiter. Nestle doesn't have a pharmaceutical sales force.

I think Nestle is looking to have a small pharma division. I could see expansion up to 125 reps over the next year or so. I think it is a good opportunity, especially if you want your own territory/no pods.

I also got contacted by a recruiter. I'm in the Northeast. I'm very interested in this position. Would like to know what others who know this company might think of the opportunity?

 

[Anonymous]

what did they say about bonus plan?

 

[Anonymous]

Heard bonus opportunity is 25% of salary, uncapped. Does anyone have details on training?

 

[Anonymous]

Selling coconut oil? Sounds like a blockbuster product.

Who is recruiting firm?

 

[Anonymous]

The recruiter told me that the training is 3rd week of July- just one week.

What is in Axona that warrants a RX? It will go retail within a year...

 

[Anonymous]

It's too new to go OTC, I think this opp is a good shot at a startup.

 

[Anonymous]

Anyone have a phone interview yet?

 

[Anonymous]

I did, went well - interested in this, think it would be good.

Just fyi....

Axona is not endorsed by the Alzheimer's Association. This is the bible to neurologists. As a rep you may get an occasional 1 or 2 orders because the doctor feels sorry for you. Im not saying its not a good medical food, and that it won't sell, but just want you to be aware of the situation. The company is behind it and hopefully Nestle will be too. Good luck

Fake organization....it will never work...scam...they will go down in the midst of another wannabe startup...they have been trying to bring this product to market for some time. Docs will not give them any time or rx's. Docs laugh at this company. They don't pay their sales reps either. I talked with a hiring manager and she was so dumb

 

[Anonymous]

I had a different experience. I think the opportunity is great. The management culture seems very different than that of big pharma. I really want this.

 

[Anonymous]

ALL pharma is big pharma. Great product, good company, typical big pharma mentality within the sales leadership. Be prepared for much skepticism from physicians, but the patient results can be extremely rewarding.....

 

[Anonymous]

Did you interview with them?

 

[Anonymous]

I did, went well - interested in this, think it would be good.

It's not a start up. Accera is a "lets try again after we failed miserably". It's coconut oil come on!

interviewed last week but have not heard back - have they extended offers?
