Good Ole Novo

"Business relationships"? Get over yourselves. A cute 25 year old phys ed major with 1 year of experience can get the same 25 seconds of face time that you can. Why do you think that most companies are cutting head count and ramping up contract sales reps, ro switching to a call center model?
Clearly someone who hasn’t been in a doctor’s office since before the “cute phys Ed major” was born.
 






Really? Companies don’t invest financially in creating a positive culture? You’re an idiot if you don’t see that a positive hard working rep with less experience is worth more than an old veteran who bitches and cries about everything.

And there it is. The ageism that is pervasive at NNI. And news flash —companies other than NNI DO prefer people with experience over those without. It’s not a company trend. Do you read? Try looking at recent job postings. Unless you want to do any entry level rep job, other companies understand people with 5-8 yrs exp are better candidates than those whose last job was peddling cell phones at Verizon. Hiring inexperienced reps is an industry tend a few companies have jumped on. Don’t get used to it. Numbers don’t lie.

Quit making shit up to try and bolster your argument. NNI isn’t hiring anyone without pharma experience. You’re just pissed that someone with 5-6 years of experience who comes to work with a great attitude makes more money than you do. They SHOULD make more money. Your bitching, moaning, and entitled attitude is why you’re worth less than he/she is. It isn’t ageism - being older doesn’t make you better. It just makes you older. Get a better attitude and quit expecting your employer to give you more money just because you’ve been showing up longer than someone else. Be a better employee, and you’ll make more money.

They absolutely are.
 






They absolutely are.
Needing pharma experience to work here is vastly over rated. Come on, now. We basically quote from a freakin script. In my two territories, access was either non existent or we got under a minute or so with three customers a day, four days a week. And for you Kool Aid drinkers that will flame me with "Thats a YOU problem" "Maybe we dont suck like YOU do!"?

At least Im being honest. This really is a dream job.

you say pharma experience is not necessary and then in the next sentence, state that you have no access. Lol. That’s what experience buys you, idiot.

when’s the last time we hired someone for a sales rep job that had no previous pharma experience? And supposedly we did so for more money than what we’re paying existing reps? Something isn’t adding up in your story. If they weren’t a pharma rep, then what did they do before they came to NNI?

We’ve hired several in my region over the last year with zero pharma experience. They’ve done other b2b mostly but a couple have come from outside of sales entirely.

be specific. Who is it that came to NNI was no sales experience ever and makes more money than tenured reps? And, how do you know how much they make?

You must be a boomer or older Gen Xer. Younger people talk about their pay all the time. Two recent hires in obesity in my region had zero pharma experience and came in at specialty salary.
 






I’m curious what do they do all day please explain ? Not trying to be mean just curious — I usually hear they have 1 appt that they make the biggest deal about all week ..
That’s exactly what they do. They work part time jobs and then tell all of us sales reps how they love the flexibility of their job!
