Consider this a warning to all the Executive DCS reps. I'm a HQ insider, wanting to share with everyone some of AA's thoughts on the recent expansion. Although everyone is please with how well Novo is performing, especially the stock price, there is one item that is being discussed at HQ that is startling. That is, how to get rid of the dead weight at this company aka executive dcs base salaries. They are not talking about all of them, just the unproductive one's. They are also specifically looking at those that are primary on Victoza. Victoza is not meeting overall expectations and they have noticed a trend with those executive dcs reps that carry it and horrible performance. The recent hiring blitz had opened AA's eyes, among others, as to what Novo could get for much cheaper. These newbies are experienced in diabetes, they are hungry, and more importantly, they are cheaper to hire. Times will continue to be good at Novo, there are no plans for head count reduction; just a weeding out of dead weight and replacing them with experienced, hungry, cheaper reps that want to be here. It's not to late for you Victoza leads, you can still turn around your business, but you are on borrowed time. You all have been warned.

There's a lot of truth to the crap sales of Victoza. Look at Ohio an you will see. No formulary restrictions, and they are not coming close to their potential. Michigan for that matter looks just as bad.

Agreed. There are many executive Victoza leads in Ohio that should be scared. They have managed care handed to them on a silver platter and are getting their ass handed to them in sales.

Managed care my ass. from a commercial standpoint it sucks. the only one to hang our hats on is anthem. everything else sucks. i am not a v but if you have been in this industry for a while or ever launched a drug before you know that new drugs have a very small window to build momentum. Novo lost that with V because docs couldnt get it. plus efficacy or not you cant beat 4 dollar to 10 dollar dpp4s vs only 25 bucks off.

Not making excuses just saying V missed its window and just hope Novo wised up and will get Tresiba access right out of the gate. If Tresiba sucks with good access then mouth off about the sales force.

THe newbies they are bringing in 99% had forged documents that showed they were in the top 20%. lets have this discussion 12 months from now but until V gets 2nd tiers on uhc, anthem aetna and most part d plans shut the fuck up
 




They would never say this out loud. I assure you, they want to get rid of dead weight....especially those that came about 10 years ago when Novo was a 3rd rate company.

Now, they can pick and choose and they are. Cherry picking Lilly, Sanofi and Merck reps at will.

If you are good...don't sweat it.

If you are a gold playing old fart that pushes back on everything the company says with "Back in the old days of Novo" you need to watch out.

As for salaries being the driver....that is BS. That is such a small part of the equation. 85K for a new guy v 110K for an old guy.

First of all, you're not an HQ insider. I can tell by your comments that you're too stupid to get a job above a rep level. There are no HQ insiders with secret information about what Andy does/doesn't think. It's not like he goes to a confession booth with his "insiders" and shares all his secret thoughts. Second, why would he give a shit about an Exec DCS making 30k more than what we could pay a new hire? What, is he trying to save $1 million in salaries? Novo makes more than $10 million a day in Sales. I'm sure Andy is biting at the bit to fire our most tenured and successful reps so that he can save 2 1/2 hours worth of Sales Revenue. Great thinking, "HQ Insider". Give me a freakin' break. Go sell your bullshit to someone stupid enough to believe it.

Novo cherry picked alright. Hired a rep just about to be fired. LMFAO at the DBM that hired that rep! By the end of the first week of training that DBM will say, "What on earth happened? How was I fooled so badly? The RSD that did the concurrence interview will be thinking, "Crap, how am I going to explain this one to my VP?"

It's so funny it's hard to stop laughing!!!

No doubt Novo hired a few good ones, but it's not a perfect world and also hired some serious fakers.

Thank you Novo!!!

Hiring someone is just like any other thing where you have only an hour to judge whether or not the person your interviewing is a blue chip or not. It's a crapshoot, you're judging a book by it's cover. But time has a way of revealing the truth. Plenty of mangers have been mislead, and made a mistake trusting their gut instinct. They then usually do what they have to do after they discovered the person they hired wasn't what they initially thought. The worst part of this situation is they realize they didn't hire another guy they interviewed but thought that person would be a good fit also.

Now if the RBD would only get rid of their management hire mistakes! But that takes years because they can't admit mistakes either.
 
















AA is the guys who said to the entire sales force that he would support replacing you if you could not, and I quote, "Godda**" well sell Victoza.

That was the exact word he said from the stage to several thousand reps and later had to apologize for it the next day.

Impeccable professionalism. With that said, if you have been bottom twenty percent two years running, you really need to take a look at yourself in mirror and ask if this job is for you.

Was that really an apology? I lost a lot of respect for AA after that, and how he dusted over his so-called apology. It really shed a big spotlight on how he views us.

With Tresiba's hiccup, we ALL better watch our backs.
