Team Esperion-thanks for your diligence the past little while as we navigate through a difficult period. I'm extremely pleased with the effort the team has put forth. Yes, clinics are closed for the time being. But, they will reopen. I hear of the discussion about me and the company on CP. I don't routinely follow as often as I use to, but I'm encouraged by the fact that the Esperion team has stuck together. It's easy to hide behind a screen and take cheap shots at people on CP. And knowing the sole individual who keeps ranting about the same few topics at a feverish pitch: stock price, scientific discussion, lay-offs, sales performance, clamoring, interview process, conference calls (that he's not privy to), etc. We've identified the individual posting. Know that our screening process was very accurate in choosing the best candidates. While true that there may have been other candidates with relationships, often times we've find those are exaggerated. The tenured reps we have are solid with business relationships. Many of the interviewing tenured individuals weren't that hungry. We might have opted for a younger worker who would put in more effort who would develop the relationships.
And, its worked. Very well. The sour individual who posts knows nothing about our sales performance or the inner workings of Esperion. We have a bright future. Feel proud working with the lipid company. Make no mistake about it-providers know who we are. So do payers. Thats why our access is improving. Even in the midst of a very difficult period. We can and do have excellent interactions-on a science level-with those we speak to. We don't need to conduct those points with someone who is so bitter that it has fully consumed them. He can't let it go. As he continues to post, we'll just go on our way to hitting our sales goals. Hopefully he finds gainful employment in a job thats more fulfilling. For the record, his interview was not strong at all. He didnt' come close to being as prepared as some with a lot less tenure who really wanted to work for the lipid experts.
Continue to win Esperion! The future is bright!
