Any offers gone out yet?

Interesting dialog on here about no fleet cars and low mileage reimbursement. I’m an R&D person so can’t speak on that. If I’m a sales person I’d be more concerned about the product. With many generic options available for MDD it will be a difficult sell. The generic options are not perfect but adequate and only cost pennies. That right there is the big challenge with trying to sell the bells and whistles of an extremely expensive treatment option in a mostly restrictive income patient population.

This is MDD, not schizophrenia. Plenty of commercial patients willing to pay a copay to go into remission from depression in 14 days and feel better in 3.

never a good sign when a company is reimbursing less than the government

I’ll say. 2nd rate companies penny pinch like that. and if they’re doing this in the very beginning of the new sales force, it’s only going to worsen over time.

Companies that don’t offer fleet do it for two reasons:

1: they aren’t confident they can get approval or launch successfully and they don’t want to be stuck with hundreds of leased vehicles if they have to dump sales people.

2: they are hoping to sell the company in the near term and don’t want fleet vehicles digging into the net proceeds of a potential sale.

Sage is going cheap up front. You know how they will treat you a year down the road.

Absolutely just wait for quotas hit in a few months. That’s where the rubber meets the road. I plan to enjoy the free ride these next 6 months doing the disease state knowledge and market intelligence pharma crap until I find something better.

Same here, something doesn’t feel quite right but I’ll leverage the opportunity and higher base for now to bridge me into a more stable situation down the road.

If you die in a car accident in your own car, your family will have to hire lawyers to prove that you were driving during work hours to collect any insurance. The legal fees will probably be more than the payout.

You two idiots have no clue. Gov’t allows for 65 cents/mi when there is ZERO reimbursement from a company for a vehicle. The 22c/mi just about covers the cost if gas at 20 mi/gal. Please tell me that the future if this launch is not dependent on morons in the field who think this way.

It just covers the cost of gas is the problem. Registration, taxes, insurance, maintenace, repairs, and depreciation are significant costs on top of gas.

No approval so none of this crap matters for psyc reps, hope no one actually put their notice in w their current company!! What a joke!
