Well-crafted.
Do you develop these pithy rejoinders while sitting in a lunch where everyone wishes you weren't there?
Fries with my burger.
This is the perfect distillation of what this industry has become.
A sad, embarrassing wasteland of semi-literate assholes who were never properly trained and can't fight their way through a mindless marketing piece.
Reps, managers, senior management . . . the whole fucking thing has become a cartoon.
Yes embrace the con job-eat those grease burgers and laugh on side of highway
Please - go ahead and get rid of the reps and see how much business is lost you dumb ass. There’s a reason the company hasn’t stopped incentivizing on sales performance and paying reps for KPI’s. Sales will decrease immediately just like they did at GSK and with no reps fighting for business you can be sure sales will tank. Sadly the dummies who make negative comments on the rep job don’t have a clue what it’s like to spend all day long trying to get doctors to do something different. It’s fucking hard and every day it’s gets harder so shut the f up.
make fun of the job all you want. I’m making well over 300k with my salary, ic and company car while working a few hours. Jealous much? Is your job so much more rewarding kissing corporate aholes and siting in a cubicle on meaningless teams calls all day? You’re the idiot
Yes bring the donuts in my schlub... can't wait to use your coupons and eat your nasty donuts
Just shows how out of touch you are. We don’t use “coupons” moron. We’re not a supermarket
Yep donuts eh my little pill pusher. You seems stuck in 1990s pharma. Bend over ya wax monkey.
1. After taxes, you are making more like 150K.
2. Your worth ethic sucks, which shows a lack of passion for your work and life. This is an issue you should deal with. Go seek professional help for your lack of motivation.
3. Pharma sales is a weak way to go through life.
4. Nobody cares about your income. True wealth really comes from your INVESTMENTS, not your job, by the way. Are you a spender? If so, your "300K" should evaporate rather quickly. Let me guess you have a company car, but still own a BMW because you lack judgement.
5. Pharma companies and more corporate jobs are wishy washy and you are never stable. Save your money and be frugal. I really hope your mortgage is not more than 30% of your pay.
I wish you the best, but you are out of touch with reality with your statement. Seek help for you drinking and drug use and read more books from intelligent people that might help your IQ as well.
Best to you. You have a lot of work to do on yourself.
this response is just stupid. Last time I checked.. clearing over 150k for one person is doing pretty darn well. Obviously.. you are in the pharma industry too or you wouldn’t be on this thread… so I guess you’re pathetic with no work ethic and low IQ. Don’t make assumptions about people’s spending or investments.. I own 6 rental properties so I’m just fine. You on the other hand.. are a Numero uno a-hole
Your work ethic sucks, but I wish you the best.
I wish you the best, but you have a low I.Q. and you're an alcoholic.
This is the strangest, most incoherent thing I've ever read on this site.
You sound like a rep who got fired, couldn't get back in & now you're a "financial advisor".
Pharma sales may be a "weak way to go through life", but it beats dispensing self-help pablum on a website for pharma reps.
Business consultants (ZS and Mckinsey) exposed on LastWeek Tonight
"oversells its brilliance...much of the time The Firm merely reorganizes sales forces or designs by-the-numbers downsizing to reduce overhead"

You read my mind!!! Let's start a new thread "Consultants" and include McKinsey, ZS, Syneos, Komodo, Veeva, etc. They are selling pharma a "bill of goods" but my theory is that execs don't care because its job security for them. They just show the board this fake metric bullshit. I'm going crazy with the fake data, fake alerts, fake claims data, fake unviable triggers, total crap. Is there a way we can all file a class action law suit and claim they withhoold comp due to fake data????
90% of the field force would be on board. With the low level of data they purchase and the fact that they don’t account for many hospitals, infusions centers or mom and pop pharmacies they truly don’t know and have know way of accurately telling how much business is generated by each rep. Which is why I believe they are going to this performance based bullshit - managers will find things wrong such as not enough rep triggered emails, expense reports, call metrics, admin etc or all things combined to say you aren’t meeting expected performance. Then the plan comes in place and they will provide superior coaching to help you improve, but sales performance may never change and that in my opinion is how they will get you. Very hard to fire people based on numbers that aren’t accurate
Pharma would die a quick death without field sales reps. Reps make it all go. Without them there would be no profits made and no money to pay the bills. Are there many layers within a pharma company that can be cut? Absolutely. Mid level pharma mgmt is the biggest financial burden of all. There is zero ROI for these blood sucking leashes. They could all be cut today and pharma would not miss a beat. Hire a handful of admin assistants and pay them 50k to e the paper pushes and everybody wins.
