2 days plus travel for THAT?
To be told to start seeing the ID Clinical Pharmacist? (thanks for that helpful tip 20 months into launch)
To learn the 3-part close? (really, I should ask for business, a follow up, and what other docs are important? What a mind blowing concept - that should turn things around)
To be taught about Stewardship? (Anyone who actually works with ID's realized the importance of Stewardship programs weeks into launch).
To roleplay a graph with the pricepoints of the branded MRSA products?
To be given a sheet with the 30 day readmission rate for COPD patients?
We needed to travel far and miss calls for THIS?
This all could have been done on a 60 minute conference call, and the Compliance section could have been documented via webtraining. What a waste of time, money, and effort.
I try to be positive and loyal and not bash the company but it is soooo hard not to....

And don't forget about the 5 day launch next month...yippy! Can't wait to learn about another retail product!

This actually made me laugh, obvious marketing is pretty weak.

So I take it that by "stewardship" you talked about the damage of antibiotics that cause resistant bacteria and collatoral damage. Then you must of had a discussion about Teflaro causing resistant gram - klebsiella and e.coli. How does stewardship fit into the paradigm of selling Teflaro.
 
























Feedback....Len, try to shut the f*#* up for 5 minutes!!

OMG - so true! Completely worthless as a leader. Half the time most people in the room have no clue what he is trying to say, and it is not because they aren't smart enough to understand. It's because he rambles and makes no sense at all.
 






Haaa!! His long winded emails ramble on and on with no point in sight. Don't forget the crazy, secret letter he slid under everyone's hotel room door at the POA last year. He is an odd one.

Worst marketing team in the business, from the whacky blond down. Dumb.
 












Are you speaking of Christina Larkin? I actually think she is brilliant. The Marketing people all "get it"....management does not.

Agreed. CL knows what she's doing. RW knows what he's doing. Two of four RD's know what they are doing. A handful of managers, a few smart ones from the inside and a handful from the outside actually like hospitals and antibiotics. For the rest, it's just a job and loyalty and willingness to go the extra mile for them is nonexistent. You can tell the ones who really want to be here and like what they are doing because they act, motivate, and get results.

For the most part I agree although some good people are in tough territories, and some good people have their motivation to excel crushed by bad DM's. One thing I want to know: which two RD's "get it" in your opinion?

Teflaro is lead by a moron, who is running blind, we get stuck with crappy marketing, crappy tools and have numbers we will never reach. It is a crap drug..get over it

Sounds exactly like Merck and Pfizer anti infective sales. No support from marketing, Leadership SUCKS, and everyone is getting rolled by generic formularies.
You aren't alone believe me.
 






Just met a manager from the Northeast this week and all I can say after reading this is no wonder this company is so screwed up. Had an interview for training position and glad I realized that the woman hiring for it was a total moron after my 3 very specific questions about the goals associated with your antibiotic.

Good luck friends, I can see why you are all so frustrated!
