How Do You Think PDI Novartis contract negotiations are going?

When I was hired on last year the PDI manager really dangled that carrot out in front me that a rollover was immenent. Saw through that bs and now I’m looking. The drug is good but there isn’t any money to be made here on the PDI side and a rollover is not happening. Honestly though why would they rollover even 1/2 of the primary care reps? Pay us more for the same amount of scripts doesn’t make sense.

If I was to guess this contract may have one more renewal on it before they either cut bait and reduce the number of pcps to allow the cv teams to do it all or hand pick a very small number of territories to hire for directly to call on pcp.

Every PDI rep has been on a perpetual job interview since day one. Every rep was told (Lied too) about a roll over. Why would NVS ever hire anyone when PDI is doing the same work the NVS reps do for 60% of the cost? They even get to treat you badly for free!!
 






Instead of playing the boohoo victim, LEARN your Company structure (this applies to ALL Contract companies). Manufacturers pay the same and sometimes more for contract reps. Unfortunately, a good % of the contact reps' salary is taken to pay their Management Team to include Admin. Learn the facts! Get off your lazy a$$ and find a job to your likings. Clearly, you'll always have something to complain. Try pointing the finger at yourself. SAD!

Which PDI territories call on Cardiology and Specialty? Region?
 












Thanks, ye ole great Novartis rep. Paying "them" 65k??? You need to update your info. Also, in my area, PDI has done a great job growing Entresto in primary care offices, a feat that No one at NVS seems to has been able to figure out. I bet that if PDI and CV2 or CV1 were to switch jobs for 2 months, the uptick in prescribing would be tremendous.

Another ignorant loudmouth. 1 - she doesnt understand why her salary is the way that it is. 2 - calling on PCP and Card are very different and most PDI reps dont have specialty experience. 3 - you need to learn what ASSuming does, nevermind spinning yourself and others into a frenzy. What a loser!

In fact, I happen to have more cardiology experience than my cv1 and cv2 idiot partners. Now who's ASSuming??

Then just speak for yourself. Dont misrepresent. If youre sooooo talented, why are you still on this contract? Another example of 'pointing the finger' and the 'forever victim'. Take responsibility of where you are 'right now' in life. Itll be a good start. Good luck, youll need it.
 






Why would any client re-up with this joke of a company that has totally divested I.e., fired, all the client support. And gone on record that they don’t care about CSO
