ADHD Contract

  • myyn   May 20, 2019 at 09:41: AM
First round end of 2019. Second round end of school year/June 2020. Territories merged each time. Company will eventually be around 140 for launch of amp version. Total life around 3 years. Casual attitude regarding metrics will be gone after first layoff. Good luck everyone.

when will amp version launch?
 












Not when you have to explain to them why your sales are where they are. Good Luck with that.
Agreed. Launching in summer when market bottoms out? They’re going to be all over us by end of July for lack of rx. It won’t truly start happening until first report card/parent teacher conferences of school year in October. But I guess I have a few months to overcome the insomnia issue with my 13 out of 37 offices I can actually see regularly.
 






No worries, Doctors luv seeing us every week. These territories are so small that if you averaged even 5 calls per day. You will be seeing "accessible" MDs with such frequency that you will either be on their payroll or banned from the office in six months.
 












Lol. Already dreading field rides where we either wrap up at noon, make Pharmacy calls all afternoon, or I stack the days and then have nothing left to do the rest of the week.
 






Lots of red flags from pay to bonus structure and a manager team that includes very few with any understanding of psychiatry or the ADHD market.

What's so hard to understand about the adhd market? Not rocket science!! Calling on psychs also not rocket science. Psychs easy as heck to call on. Most are done by 2 or 3pm!
 


















It's $50/month.

Even though the base is low compared to non-contract pharma jobs, I would still rather be working in pharma sales than in an office cubicle 9-5 seeing the same faces every day. I have only been doing this 10 years and have been with two big pharma companies. Before that I was in the Navy for 20 years. Let me tell you, I was working a helluva a lot harder for about the same pay. When I got into pharma sales, I couldn't believe how easy these jobs are. I don't know much about IQVIA but the managers have all been nice so far. I can deal with this for a year or two and jump back into another position if something comes along. The people who haven't been laid off by a big company yet are no better or worse usually than the ones that have. I would even go as far to say that most of the reps I have met over the last 10 years are pretty much the same "skill" wise. Territory seems to make the most difference. Good luck to all. Don't let anyone make you feel less than, or nervous, about entering a job like this. Focus on all of the good things you have going on when you are not at work.
Excellent comment! Spent my entire career in pharma before being "downsized". Utterly ridiculous to hear people treat $80K as underpaid for a job that requires very little skill or effort. Try matching that outside of pharma. In most jobs you actually have to work.
 






I was one of the lucky one's who was offered a job on this project, don't get me wrong. The directions I was given was to submit travel expenses with W9 form, BEFORE I got my offer. Of course that was almost a month ago and nothing... Honestly, again, I am grateful for this position but am still online every day because from what I have seen from the administration end and some of the flaws with this medication, I don't see this drug being successful. Just being realistic.
Don't stress over expense reimbursement. Went after DM position in February and have yet to be reimbursed. Not that much money, but definitely not impressive. Actually landed position with another company launching an ADHD med. These products are going to be very tough sells.Even with coupons plans will reject them and providers have been burned too many times (coupon goes away & now what) to jump on board. Unless initial results are overwhelming quick uptake and then struggle. Good luck!
 










































I too have misgivings about this contract... i am also concerned about the small number of African Americans and women who were chosen for this launch...
How you you even know how many African American women had been hired unless you were just looking for made up names on an e-mail or something? No one has seen anyone.
 






Get ready to hear about an old drug with a new delivery system that will keep kids up all night. It is so great, now go out and sell it. Drug up those kids and make their lives miserable. Money is the root of all evil.
