Entresto Contract













There's no CP&T cuz neither PDI nor CV2 will be choosing their targets. NVS will send a list out with our targets snd frequency. Great idea, NVS, send me 6x per trimester to 12 or so absolute no-see MD's!!!
 




That never happend. OP is full of it too, we were asked to book our tickets to sales meeting.

Yes it did happen. There is no CP&T for the entire CV sales force. HAS, CV1, 2 and PDI. We have to follow the “Targeting Excellence approach” and stick with the call plan. It’s suppose to be only for Jan-April, following trimester we would be able to make changes. They are going to force CV2 to make calls on IMs and not so many Cardiologist. An email was sent out in the middle of November

Right, and I’m sure that’s not a sign of the restructure that’s coming, think about it.
 




Meanwhile on the Novartis board........

Novartis is a creature of habit. All you have to do is look at the history of how Novartis operates before a lay-off/RIF situation.
1st- they hire a contract force to see if an increased share of voice will increase sales.
2nd- they plaster you with new sales models.... of the same old sales models with a new name. And a new strategy of "tell the customer they must write the product more... or else".
3rd- budgets get cut.
4th- managers and H.O. Correspondence gets real quite. And field managers have a number of meetings that keep them in their office or at a meeting.
5th- you get a STEM consultation program to tell senior management why sales are not meeting goals.
6th- you get a notification that t you have a conference call out of the blue with no insight why.
7th- a lay-off/ rif is communicated .... usually right before a major holiday and definitely before the start of a new year.
8th- you wait for a call from a manager to tell you if you are in or out.

P.s probably to late to tell you.. but if you live is a area that is not as close to your key territory hub. You may get bumped out by "distance to targets" versus a counterpart.


Let’s all pray it’s true!
