DO RD's Provide Value?

I've been doing this for over 10yrs in eye care alone. It's hard for my RD to teach me much especially when I have more experience than they do. They exist, mine is excessively hard to get ahold of.
 












You already know the answer is I. All that matters is the company has a good product and coverage! If your in Sales and you have a experienced rep that has relationships and the reps numbers are growing year over year. All about relationships!

In April shire took away 1/2 of our relationships by splitting NUB into adult and ped territories... Relationships must not be that important
 


















relationships in pharma are overrated
Get over yourselves.
Glorified UPS driver
I get calls all the time " Should I use Xiidra or Restasis on this patient? Can you help me out?
Not.
Get out of the bubble
 












I don't think they bring any real value. I get the same questions about my territory every time my RD rides with me... Really. All the new RD's, hired from outside the organization nwothnin the last 5 years are clueless. The thought of having to listen to criticism when certifying at these NSM's makes my blood boil. A clueless wonder critiquing me, they can't even spell Vyvanse

Totally agree and I'm in the OBU with years of eye care experience, my mgr has ZERO eye care experience. And this idiot makes more than me all to approve exp reports and listen to damn conference calls, wtf? Bring no value to me or my territory, ask my docs stupid questions, never answer my questions about manage care, our benefits, shire policy, etc. could they not find mgrs with eye care experience? Very frustrating!

I have a manager with eye care experience, however I have more eye care experience than they do. There is nothing hey can tell me that I don't already know. I've been in sales for 20 years...Ophthalmology for over 15! it's a joke what they have to come up with to put on my field visit report for development.... nit picky shit most of which is dependent on MC so I can't do much about it. Incentive is a joke, can't remember the last time our manager gave out points...
 












Every week that goes by I like my RD less and less. He's becoming annoying! He's never available, his comments are never helpful and his emails/texts are becoming robotic and condescending.
 






At least you get communication.

My RD is like a big lump of clay.

He acts like he doesn't know wtf is going on, just rides and leaves all his shit in my car.

A real OBU winner with zero eye care experience.
 






Riding around with you this week was embarrassing! OMG you need to brush up and at least memorize the 1-2 very weak IPad slides we give you to beat over the heads of menial Eyecare doctors who call themselves Opthomologists.


Let's start by spelling their chosen medical field correctly.....that would be Ophthalmology.....wow....really?
