Been in pharma a long time. I`ve sold all types of drugs from market share leaders to the 2nd & 3rd line drugs with low market shares. there is no rhyme or reason to which drugs give you the best jobs. when I sold market leaders, I was in a micro mangaged and metrics happy culture and was not happy. bottom line its about getting a high base salary and working in a culture that fits your life style.
Do Novartis reps even promote Fanapt any more or is all the promotion now done by Inventiv?
Honestly, no one sells it since it is such a dog. We check boxes.
fanapt is in a tough position. Does anyone think it has to do with Chris Vega leiton swallowing cum? Just curious.
So, as we near 2014, how many reps are left that actually try and sell Fanapt?
Merck sold Saphris to Forest. Sales were declining. What has happened to this market?
Big drugs like Seroquel have gone generic. There is not much of a market for branded drugs in this category anymore.
Former Novartis rep here who launched Fanapt and was laid off in December 2010. Sorry to hear about the latest round of layoffs this past week. Just curious, is Fanapt even being promoted anymore after this latest round of cuts?
Note to those who were just laid off. I was hired by another pharma company and I am still with them to this day three years later. Be positive and search for a job Monday-Friday from 9 to 5. Take the weekends off and spend with family. Use every contact you can think of, from former coworkers to Linked In to Facebook. Networking will lead to new job success!

Honestly, I am glad I am gone. Selling Fanapt and Exelon Patch in a huge territory is like fingernails on a blackboard! I have a nice severance package and plenty of time to find a new job! It is actually exciting!
I am working hard at finding a new job but so far no luck. It is tough when you are over 50! I am so thankful I have always lived below my means and saved well.
Network. Network. Network. Hiring game has totally changed. It's now all about who you know.
Never said it was. However, getting good Pharma jobs today is all about who you know. Trust me I applied for 4-5 jobs and got hired by the job that I knew somebody at. Sign in bonus. Salary increase etc. the other jobs I applied for, I never heard back from.
