Re: Breakup of Physician, Drug Company Relationship Could Improve Health Care, Cut Co




There is no debate - no study is necessary.  As a brand and generic manufacture Novartis speaks out of both sides of it's mouth.  Profit drives everything is 100% correct - but to believe Sales Reps make a difference anymore? hahahahaha


I'm fortunate to retire after the next PC (yes I will get it).  I'm glad new reps have no knowledge of what this profession used to be - they have no frame of reference to compare.  I feel for those that defend it - they sound hollow as management does trying to explain IMS and commissions, and as stupid as the brand team hawking prepared messages. 

 

I've been in sales nearly 30 years - this job ceased having a meaning to our customers a long time ago.  We don't further the breath or depth of medical science anymore, all we represent are either free samples - or free food.  Take your pick.


Oh - and the poster that holds their head high? It's because you're on your knees.
