Forest reps shutting down offices...

In my territory there are few other companies with multiple reps out there. Of course, Forest dominates. In a single day, in just part of my territory, I might be sharing offices with two other Forest reps. We have a total of 7 reps now with the contract sales force. And our contract rep is not good. They came from another industry and pretty much just suck...big time. Anyway, multiple offices in our territory either have or are considering shutting down to reps. I believe in large part because Forest reps have to get so many signatures a day and see so many providers. we wind up flooding the offices that will let us in and we wear out our welcome. Combine that with smaller budgets and it's difficult to get into offices anymore. I feel like my job is more damage control in offices mixed with keeping corporate happy by playing a numbers game. I'm pretty frustrated and am wondering where this is all headed?

Forest has put its stink on many metropolitan offices, and about 75% of my top targets have completed barricaded their doors to forest pod attacks. The only way around this is too use the magic finger to create "calls" and siggies.... they force us to mock up our days with phony and false activity. What a scam and joke. Most other companies with half a brain have cut out this shit due to the negative effect this was having on the clients. No MD wants to see a Forest rep, it is a shit sandwich because many of us depend on this for our primary income but our days are numbered and getting shorter as each office gets more and more tired of the signature clowns and pod chasers trying to stuff a sample bin for a signature for their Forest manager! What a fucking miserable existence.

Grrrreeeeaaaatttttt Post! My offices are completely shut off, I have not worked past 2pm in 3 years...not my fault. I can pull a lunch, have it delivered, get the receipt faxed straight from vendor, or mailed (sometimes this is better) and then drive 4 minutes to the biggest practice in town and pull 6 sigs in seconds. Out at 11am home at 2pm. Keep the pace bitch, keep the pace.
