are you part of the team?







What do you mean "start on jan. 24th." how long is the home study and if launch is not until March, what the hell you gonna be doing for a month? humor me.

Do you really need that much imagination to figure out how to occupy the next month? This is a ground-up expansion, there's plenty to do, on-boarding, homestudy, launch meeting etc.

to those of you who claim to "start monday" what the crap are you going to do, make calls until march. I hear the launch meeting is not even scheduled yet and sales force launch date was pushed back. Better get your ducks in order.

What i will do, depends on what i am told to do. I will do what they say as long as the paycheck starts coming.

Thank you sir may I have another?. Sounds like we got the sheep hired for the shepherd. How about putting down your morning glass of koolaid and answering the question, you claim to start on Monday, yet others have not even been extended offers nor have been told a start or launch date as this keeps changing weekly. So Mr. smart guy, please enlighten us with your wisdom as to what the directive is for the small number of people who "start on monday".... make yourself useful.

You are such a complete douche bag. Why are you even on this board? Are you interviewing? or most likely, Were you rejected? Why do you even give a shit?

Start date is Monday, whether you like it or not.

maybe you havent been extended an offer because you were not picked. Face it, you got passed on, loser. Why the hell are you asking the board, why dont you grow a pair and call the manager who interviewed you and get a straight answer.

Product was made available, and started shipping in late november. It's out there. It's the promo launch (including sales force) that doesn't get rolling for a few more weeks while company finished up interviews and the onboarding of those selected. I hope you found that at least marginally useful.

Feel lucky if you are set with a start date for Jan. 24, this is not many but there are some. Free money as the rbd's try and get a game plan. There have been inconsistencies with actual start dates and the launch meeting for the salesforce will not be until end of Feb. at earlist. So if you got on board early, you will be stealing from the company for at least a month. Congrats! Easy cake. Also, there has been 1 patient on therapy for Kryst. that occurred in December. Infusion and private offices have to order from the manufacturer directly or wholesaler depending on the speciality pharmacy networks. 2300 per vial is very expensive according to most Rheums. They want to know how they can turn a buck if they stock in inventory and if they don't have the patients lined up they will not order. Savient can only show sales when the product is pulled in and infused not just ordered. There is a temp C code being used but still too early to tell if it is being payed and reimbursed and at what level. All crucial to the longevity of this launch and job. I am with the poster above, I do not have any info as to why the hire dates and launch dates have been moved back and back and back, seems like most will not be on payroll until sometime in February, and that is if all goes well. Savient has a lot of things to still work out and they will not hire to full capacity until they are certain of the web based reimbursement system and meetings with CMS. How will the doc's and infusion centers order the product and how smoothly this will go with pre cert's for insurance private and public is yet to be seen and from what I was told this is causing a bit of concern about how quickly to hire on reps to basically do nothing.

Um, so not true. Start is not Monday. Sorry. Maybe for some of the hold overs from the debacle last yr, but not for the majority of the new hires. Fact. Many offers are out but a large % still have not accepted.

and how would you possibly know this ? Guess what: it's a startup sales force that you can't just slap together. Well run offices will do well with admin reimbursements as new revenue to the practice.

I love how people on here speak out of their ass. How can you say that monday is not true, I know for a fact it is, therefore I know for a fact that you are full of shit. and i am not talking hold overs either. GET OFF of our board you douche bag.
 






I hate to interrupt this marathon of inanity, but I'll interject a few facts just for variety.

More than 95% of the sales force is already hired or has verbally accepted offers and background checks, etc. are being conducted. Some started a couple of weeks ago and are working on pre-launch projects. The majority start tomorrow with a couple more starting later in the week.

There will be home study, regional meetings, introductory calls and a launch meeting over the next 5 weeks.

I'm very glad that the majority of you posting are not "part of the team". Don't despair, though, the world needs ditch diggers too.
 












what territories still need to be filled?

There is only one position in the entire country left to fill and that is in San Francisco. 59 out 60 are hired and most of us on-boarded yesterday. So, for all of you whiners out there in other areas of the country still wondering if you are going to be called...GET OFF OUR BOARD! We don't want your stupidity and negative comments voiced any longer!

Just got a new CEO from Lilly and he will help drive this company towards success, just like those of us who got hired to sell this product. Check out the Bloomberg reports.

Move on...

59 of 60 is false. Several are still open and in process.

I 100% agree and can confirm this as well...... 59 out of 60 is pure false bs. There are at least 10+ territories still being worked on and interviewed for, and that is maybe even a little low, I would guess more like 20 are still open but I was told that the number was indeed 10+ from somebody who knows, not just a cafe pharma legend. There are also a bundle of offers that are out but have not yet been accepted, so once you factor in all these realities it is more like 50-60% are filled and 40 that are still in motion. With there being no official start date or deadline for hire, RBD's can reinterview and recheck current offers and continue to look for a better fit is necessary. This is the truth, take it or leave it, I really could care less, but keep this board to a "factual" setting, not bullshit.

This info came from my RBD. Meaning, that Savient has already decided on who the 59 of 60 reps will be. So, if there are some candidates that have not accepted the offer as of yet, but have been given verbals, they are included in that 59 headcount. Yes, you can consider these as being "worked on", but in Savient's mind, they have closed out those territores. The only territory left to "fill" in Savient's mind is SF...there are certainly NOT a BUNDLE out there - so if you're going to fling poo, fling it in your own direction there, bullshitter.
