For you neuro CS's that think your safe- NEURO NATION

The feeling is the neuro team is pretty good but the TLL team is doing the real selling. Obviously not sure if true as I'm in SSF. I know we got the majority of the neuro Salesforce on the cheap compared to heme which is a good thing- especially with huge cuts coming. Best of luck to all but this had to happen.

The TLL Team is considered a joke by most Thought Leaders and CS’s. The CS’s are responsible for the most successful launch in company history. Another point missed by SF is that Marketing is not responsible for the success of Ocrevus. You could eliminate TLL’s, CRM’s, and most of Marketing, and the Neuro CS’s would still drive revenue. Genentech will never understand this.

There were no true top reps as they never had real competition to sell against. Once competition came, those with the best performance bailed using their good sales numbers as a catalyst to get the next gig. Same holds true for most all franchises there.
I was with Pegasys which had competition from day one and always saw through the phony holier than thou persona BioOnc, Xolair and Lytics had at NSM when interacting with them. Total BS artists who spent half their time blowing smoke up a hiring manager’s arse for the next gig that kept them relevant for 2 years.
Those of us who made the move into the Gene side when HCV went off patent were ostracized for bringing in novel ideas on how to sell competitively with integrity and respect. Two terms totally foreign to the DNA legacy turds. Good riddance to a company that is a shell of what it was.
