A, B, C, D and E??? Thoughts?
Looks like a minimum of 5 reps/doc!
Dec 14, that's funny half the company is on vacation!
Is this the correct spelling of "FOSSIL"----5 separate sales groups goes back to the Pleistocene Age of selling--a little fear and trepidation at the top--very interesting to note that even though the"street" seems to be in love with Merck, there are no executives buying the stock and as a matter of fact Schacter and his ilk have been unloading options throughout November--it will be interesting in light of proposed budget cuts for 2013 to have an RFM and share it with your 4 other counterparts as well as the provider and staff-I for one can't wait for this scenario to unfold
...and share the RFM w the other rep's mgr too if you have 2-5 mgrs per doc. Goodbye access!
These shitheads are being paid major bank to come up with this plan? Unbelievable!!! I now realize that everything you read on CP about this company being here solely for the benefit of those in "management" is so completely true. How else could you justify keeping so many reps for so few products? Launch readiness you say? Like being ready for Cordaptive. Get something decent through FDA, then lets talk about adding bodies in offices. Until then, cut 50-60% of CTLs/DCOs and 30-40% of reps. Hard to accept, but we all know it is the right thing to do.
Note to management: The share-of-voice arms race ended 5 years ago. Keep this shit up and we will go the way of the USSR.
BMS is famous in massive layoffs during a down cycle and rehiring when they have new products. That approach has not hurt them a bit over the years.
Are you joking NCM was just a joke that the marketeers played on the stockholders trying to show they knew what was going on! The father of NCM got cast down with the sodomites in washington D.C. or was it A.C.. Now we'll do something different for a little while, change the shit anyway you want it all that matters is customer relationships, can't do that with managed care everyone that knew something or someone took a package and left! Now we're stuck with MBA idiots from Wharton who think samples are now needed and lunches are a thing of the past! We didn't learn from the past before and we're not going to learn from the past now..NCM was the disaster and the friggin S3's are mostly duds who can say 'yes' with a straight face! Bingo !No more new commercial model. Back to the way things were 15 years ago. One big cluster and some specialty reps. Why can't we learn from the past?
