Alkermes, a company hoping to sell a generic compound (aripiprizole) starting hopefully in August. A me too formulation (Maintena), with no therapeutic advancement.
What are the best who are taking these jobs best at?
Well, actually, they are Alkermes people. They've moved on and are happy to have done so. I think you may want to move on as well. Harboring all this resentment isn't healthy. Now take a deep breath.....ahhhh....doesn't that feel better.
Cannot believe how Alkermes is making their salesforce a dud salesforce by adding Sunovion reps. Big Pharma reps and mentality isn't going to help sell this new drug. You need strong salesmen and women with strong biotech/injectable sales experience that are proven, not bo-bo big pharma clowns that probably sell in clusters and claim they are responsible for the great numbers they had in their territory by themselves when it was their teammate probably who actually did the selling. Such a waste. Alkermes needs to step up to the plate and hire new peeps with good business acclimate and experience in small biotech with extensive experience in launching drugs. "Has-been" CNS reps isn't going to get this drug off the ground, I'm afraid.
Check your facts. Solo owners fully accountable for territory performance including institutional responsibilities at launch. Many came from selling injectables at prior company. Ironically, it's your "biotech/injectable" reps selling in pods now. And, btw, how's your "business acclimate? "
Hey ding dong? I am currently in the small biotech/injectable market and apparently you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. There is no pod selling here compared to big pharma fucks like Sunovion...Get your facts straight please. By sheer definition, small biotech means larger territories, more autonomy and more responsibility. We don't have a pod mate to rely on, like you probably do and probably brag about to the hiring manager.
and btw? Business acclimate is great. 2 back to back President's club. you?
"Back-to-back implies 2. No need for the "2" in front of the b2b, unless you won 4 presidents clubs, like I have, which is applaudable. And, thanks webster for the "sheer" definition of small biotech. Please parse your words for clearer communication. Signed, grammar patrol.
Thanks for the grammar lesson, captain douchey....4 ? Yea..and the moon is made of cheese too. Was it you or your gay pod mate that got you 4 Presidents award? Or wait...let me see. Wait, you probably had one doctor that you're probably in bed with that "you scratch my ass, and I'll scratch yours"...a "lone wolf McQuade" that decided to help you out with prescriptions. Good business acclimate. Maybe try a rural area where there isn't any overlap with podmates, complete autonomy and complete responsibility for success or failure..a territory with yearly re-alignments galore and still managed to get TWO, back to back presidents club. I'll take my two awards up against your shitty 4 that you probably didn't earn or if you did, it was in a territory where even a monkey probably could drive numbers. They're are quite a few territories like that in the US and you so happen to find one. Congrats.
I earned mine.
Keep it pithy...
Almost nodded off reading your assumption-filled, brevity-lacking dribble. If your biotech sales pitch is as cumbersome as your prose then you surely didn't win any award with swift salesmanship. Mine were won in single ownership territories with full accountability in launching products, leading the nation in both volume and market share. But enough of me talking about me. I'd rather listen to you talk more about me. Tootoloo!
Thanks for taking time away from your award winning sales job to share with us how great you are. I sure hope we get "special" people like you to come work for us.

wow. A legend in your own mind? you like to use big words. Very impressive. Compensating for something? Short-man syndrome? Little pee-pee? Anyway, I digress. I would love to go up against you in ANY sales position because quite frankly, I would kick your ass in terms of getting the job over choosing you. You're not very personable and you're kinda snooty. Nobody likes a dick, know-it-all which you clearly are. All smug and act like your all that and a bag of chips... Likability is a factor too in sales and I find it hard to believe anybody would buy a turd from you much less a biologic.
Heres the deal. I will always be a great saleperson, but you will always be a douche. I can adapt to change in terms of sales and learn anything. You? You will always be a douche. You simply can't change that.
Good luck, Mr. "I know big words and you don't"..
Hope it works out for you.
Why would anybody want to buy a turd? That makes no sense to me. Do people actually buy turds where you live and work? What a bizarre thing to buy.
Serious replies only
I was being facetious. A pun. A bit of sarcasm.
You should try it sometime.
Another Sunovion douche, apparently
Why is he the douche? You're the one that is talking about buying turds. Why are you so angry? If you are as good as you say, you should have no trouble landing a job. Hope that helps!
Why does everybody think I'm angry? Buying a turd is anger? Its SILLY HUMOR!
Lighten up...Man you guys are wound up like a lump of coal up someone's ass...relax. The "turd" thing was a JOKE. A pun. My gosh, you Sunovion reps truly are "sticks in the mud".
We understand you were trying to make a point, but you don't understand that your analogy doesn't work. What you were trying to do is state:
"I can't believe someone would buy [something from you that they want], much less buy [something that they want really, really bad] from you.
Instead you said, "I can't believe someone would buy [something NOBODY WANTS] much less [something that they want really, really bad] from you. See where you screwed up?
Ok, I'm beginning to think you migh be mentally retarded, so let me break it down for you:
In the place where you used the word, "turd" you would have been better served to choose something people find desirable, like a new iPhone, or a hand job. It would work better if you said, "I'm surprised people would want to buy a jar of cookies from you, much less a biologic.
Your analogy didn't work, becuase people don't want turds. They do want cookies though. And people NEED handjobs.

Great and funny post! Had no idea you Sunovion" reps were so funny.
