Hospital Reps







Sorry LTC reps, but the rest of us are glad to see you are part of the masses once again. Yeah, some of you were humble and busted your butts, but most of you thought you were "special" and untouchable because of the revenue generated in LTC. Unfortunately, it was discovered that revenue was independent of you, not because of you. Welcome back!

Most of the remaining LTC reps left enjoy the hospital position more than LTC . Those that loved LTC more or couldn't adapt are already gone or will be soon
 










































i spent the day picking out chips at the vending machine at hospital

I second that, I spend all of this week at the cafeteria at the new boutique ER center. Flat screen tv, workout facilities, sauna, gym, cant beat it. I joined as a member of the public with a discount for working in healthcare. <my own private health club with state of the art fitness when all of my "targets are already in the building and I can swoop in for those sig's in the morning, order up some lunch to be catered, swim a few laps, go pick up receipt after swim nad water core exercises and then a long steam and sauna. By then its 2-30-4 and my day is long over with my scripts and bud. spend all taken care off.....this is how you make it at this comp. anything less would be unrealistic and not one of us would last a day.

sig's in a hospital? you must not be a hospital rep!
 
























From the sound of things, the ones left behind aren't exactly kicking ass with sales either.

Not a former LTC rep but have one in my division. He is doing well. He is first in our division and ranked high. I only know 4 former LTC reps and two are tier one through August. That's in the top 10%. That's better than 90% of us, including me (and probably you). The guy in my division knows his stuff and has been very helpful. I'm sure some are not doing well, but that certainly is not unique with this drug. Two out of four in the top 10%. How is that "not exactly kicking ass with sales?"
 






Are you speaking of KT in the NE? If you are, the reason he has DOTs is because another rep in his division spoke to the Director of Pharmacy (DOP) at one of KT's accounts and told him to put TF on formulary. The DOP did it because of the relationship this rep had with him when he was selling Rocephin. So it wasn't KT's selling skills, although he is a nice guy, that got this on formulary. He caught a VERY lucky break....we could all use one!

Was not referring to the other LTC reps but reps in general, the sales for the product have been very slow from what I have heard.

No KT is not in my division, A former LTC rep (AM) in the Boston area is doing very well. He was in my breakout in Dallas. He seemed very knowledgable, pretty humble, and had some good suggestions. I know KT a little (not well) but have a friend that works in the NJ division. He tells me the former Rocephin rep you are talking about is all talk. Nobody can get a drug on formulary with a call to a DOP! That's just silly. If they could, every outside hosp rep that has been hired (usually due to the relationships they claimed to have) would be doing well, and that certainly is not the case. The guy you think can get a Teflaro added to formulary with a phone call is on the verge of being fired. Rumor is he barely works and couldn't get Teflaro on formulary anywhere in his own territory let alone anywhere else. He has 0 DOTS since starting in the field in March. I bet even most of the former LTC reps are doing better than that (jk). Seriously, I guess you liked this guy when you met him and bought into his BS. Apparently so did the DM who hired him 7 months ago and now wants him fired.

I still beleive your comment is wrong. Your said the remaining former LTC reps are not successful. I know four in my Region. Two are in the top 10%. Sounds pretty successful to me. I'm sure some suck, but so do some of the former Hospital reps , retail reps, and outside hosp reps that were hired (including the guy you think can get 500 DOTS ordered with a phone call). Why do you keep hating on these guys (former LTC)? It's been a year. Isn't it time to let this issue go?
 






First off, watch your tone with me. I am not the original poster who was slamming LTC reps. I was merely responding to your post. KT openly thanked JA (yes, in front of both divisions and DMs) for his help on this particular account that got TF on formulary. It came straight from KT's mouth. I know all about JA's work ethic. I knew about it before you did. Man up and stop acting like a little girl!
