Field visit follow up notes from DMs

Quote







Then why do the DMs expect us to prepare a state of the union address for them when they get into our car? Once in the car it's usually a day for them to catch up on email, voice mail, send jokes to their buddies, play with their i-phones, etc, then leave early so they can head to the gym to workout. Why the double standard?

Because they know the best medicine is a good sense of humour, and a good workout daily, hey try it sometime!
 



The reality is that they know what we do on a daily basis. No reason to fake it on the one day a quarter your boss rides with you. I honestly do not get why most reps put together a totally artificial day when your boss rides with you.
 



I feel that someone who has been placed in charge of a group of people should set a good example including conduct and work ethic. My current DM has found a way to "have it all" as my director likes to say. She is never available and she seems to be attending to family matters when the rest of us (her reps) are out working. Sweet deal if you can get it.
 



Quality of DMs (or lack there of)

That seems to be the trend with the newer DMs these days. They want the title and the dollars that accompany the title, but don't want to invest the time to get to know their team and help their sales reps to be more effective and efficient in the field. My DM cuts out after lunch in order to get to the gym before he goes home and tells his wife how hard he worked that day. And when it comes to field visit follow up notes...he has us write them ourselves in the car before he leaves for the day so he doesn't have to be burdened with doing his job at home. Just one more example of why this company is in trouble.

I usually dine on Mexican food (including refried beans) in a large way the evening before a ride along. Then while driving I let some silent ones go. They generally get the message.
