Iroko Project

Quote






they learned that at regency. don't hire intelligence. they will see right thru the fake numbers, the blame games, & the pips. that was a butt kissing gig.

some may have applied but we all know docs could care less about anything but generic narcotics. anyway no one has heard of iroko so another strike against the project!!!

Several experienced reps still in going the f2f in my area so sounds like sour grapes to me loser

Good luck to you. You as a candidate never can get to see all ends so who knows the problem if there is one but good luck.
 






For larger cities with multiple positions will they be sending three candidates per territory or city? For example, if atlanta has 3 rep positions will at least 9 candidates be attending or could the number be closer to 3?
 












I was told the salary range is tiered dependent upon the cost of living within each territory. Tier 3 being the highest paid tier will be 65-75K DOE. Has anyone heard anything different? Anyone successfully negotiate above 75K?

This is true. The old scam of "reinventing" and "rebranding" generic medications fails more often than not. This is EXACTLY the model being utilized. The contract with inVentiv demonstrates uncertainty. Remember, the drug isn't approved yet but most likely will be. Also, if Iroko is so innovative, why not hire an organic sales force? Answer, a re-packaged NSAID will not be a game changer and they want an exit strategy. As the previous poster stated, take the job if offered but keep your options open.

You would have to be stupid not to take it if offered
 






Just to share some info. from my experiences with this process. First, using a contract sales force is never a good sign for a new company and product. Doctors who I currently call on in the pain arena are very skeptical of any new product being launched by a new company with contract reps. Secondly, this is a "me too" product that is not ground breaking and will have challenges with managed care. I have also been told the salary is not going to be above 65K regardless of what you think you are worth. I don't need a job, but was contacted and have gone through all the steps so far. I met with the Iroko people and they are very serious about this launch, but when I asked key questions, they avoided answering them. A co-pay card is not going to cut it here. The target list is really anyone and a lot of primary care. I turned down the offer due to the contract situation and also because this company does not really have a solid plan on how to launch this drug. I think if you need a job or are trying to get back into pharma sales, this would be a decent chance to do so. But, if you think this will last more than a year or think you will have a career here, you should rethink your options. Just my 2 cents. Good luck to everyone who really wants this job.
