Inventiv Contract Sales Force

[Anonymous]

Does Genetech use Inventiv for their entire Sales force, or do they also directly hire reps?

Direct hires. Why?

Thank goodness they haven't started undercutting their employees for cheap labor!

I don't think so. This company goes far and beyond than any other company I've seen in the last 5 years to make sure they provide us what we need regardless of the cost. I'm sure everyone here doesn't realize how lucky you are until you've been with companies who can give a crap less!

I think that we use/contract out to inVentiv for promoting Xolair to pcp's to get referrals. I have wondered if Genentech would ever take those inVentiv reps and hire them directly? Genentech doesn't have a presence in the pcp market and from what I understand, getting Xolair referrals from pcp's is very important. Also, I think the contract is up in June. Anyone have info on this??

Correct about which part of this??? Genentech absorbing the inventiv reps? Contract being extended?? Anyone know the deal with the Xolair pcp reps??

Genentech does contract with Inventiv. Currently they have a derm sales force selling Erivedge to derms only. The Xolair product is currently a co-promote with Novartis selling to allergists and possibly others. They have added several dm's and now are hiring reps for the addition of another product to derms. This is how they want to expand into the dermatology field.

I'm interested in the current PCP inventiv reps promoting Xolair and whether or not we will get our contract extended beyond June? In addition to that, the people who are also with inventiv promoting Erivedge to derms were recently hired AND they are going to be promoting Xolair to derms for the ICU indication. Why two inventiv sales forces promoting Xolair? Makes no sense to me!

Makes no sense?
Hint: There won't be 2 inventiv sales forces promoting Xolair.

While that "may" be true, they will not lay-off or get rid of the inventiv pcp sales force selling Xolair! Mark my words, we are the only ones driving Xolair business any way!

You are misinformed, both xolair sales teams will not be going anywhere anytime soon. Think about it...the derm team was just hired and trained recently and the pcp sales force is what is driving xolair business with the specialist anyway! Plus, the specialty reps will have all of their attention on CIU, not AA, so they will both xolair sales forces from inventiv, plain and simple!!

Isn't it cute how enthusiastic and naïve a greenhorn is?

You're hearing this from someone who is full of shit. They will not go after CIU business over AA, they are not that stupid. Quit believing everything you hear.
