Any updates on 6122- Lilly Diabetes?

Ya gotta love 6122'ers. this thread started back on 4/12/2010 and we have all swung our clubs tenaciously at this dead horse ever since. Skills we arguably used to beat another dead horse, humalog. Jimmy, Carl, and Danny should have found a spot for everyone from 6122. Its Qs loss, we did not quit on them. And I still can not get rid of these friggin 2.5s.

I couldn't agree more. But, seriously.......what is going on with this contract? I haven't heard from my DM in a year and a half. I'm tempted to sell my "dorm sized" refrigerator for some cash since I haven't had samples for so long.
 






I think its hard to get past 6122 (even though I'd bet most people have either other pharma jobs or doing something outside pharma now) because it was not just a good job but a GREAT job. I'm only speaking from my experience on it for 3 years but I had the best DM I've ever had: no undue pressure or dumb coaching sessions, small territory and fair pay with a bonus each q. Plus, Humalog was an easy sell since its the same as Novolag. All you had to do was bring in a ton of education material for the office and be nice to them.

I've been with several other companies and sold around 10 different products in my career and most of them are either "me too" products with bad coverage or just garbage to begin with. Plus, Lilly was a pretty cool company as far as training and having little stress (and more fun) while there.

My district was filled with cool people that I didn't mind hanging out with during meetings, we actually had fun together. Most other teams are not like that at all.

And to top it all off, I got to keep the mini fridge! It still keeps my beer cold for those days when I need a couple of cold ones.


I could not agree more! Having worked for a few more contracts since then, I miss 6122 and all the ups and downs...Quintiles is a fun, realistic, cool group of people that just love pharma, and want to stay in and not have the big pharma monkey on their back..Sure, some managers were d bags, but they kept things interesting for sure! I would go back to 6122 in a heartbeat

Very true.
 






























One bit of good news- it appears that I just received 5 new rewards points from my manager ( who in all honesty I believed to have passed away sometime early in 2011 so that is good news as well). Does anyone have the link to the awards mall? My fujitsu stopped working about a year ago. Much obliged.

That is a great question. I have some Unused Perk Points myself and would love to use them!
