Job leads - our base pay sucks

[anonymous]

BTW, there have never been so many openings in facial expansion or not. Reps are finally getting smart and realize that selling 4 products and 2 programs with no bonus is BS! Have you compared your compensation to others in the industry? The good days will not be back as there is too much money that needs to be generated for investors and quotas will remain out of reach.

Have fun getting this job…because they manager is only going to hire someone they know…and you are only going to spend more when you make more.

He that chases fantasies, lacks wisdom…and judging from the posts here, most of you are dummies.

The only way you go for this, again, is if you know the manager very well.

Say whatever you'd like, but I'm taking my checks to the bank. Facial aesthetics is an ELITE sales force and our customers love us. We are not only smart, we are absolutely drop dead gorgeous. So goodby hater. Most people envy us and you are greener than most.

so naive

CHOP, CHOP, CHOP. That's the sound of Pfizer cutting all the RM's, Consultants and dead weights that got their job by being a friend of an Area Director in the old boys club. The good days in the facial division are long gone. You will soon be a pharma rep like the rest of the world. It's almost there with Activis owning us. You can be in denial all you want but the writing's on the wall and everyone's reading it. With the amount of toxins and fillers coming to market, it's only a matter of time before we are the SAME as everyone else.

They won't touch the aesthetic division. We are their bread and butter and they would be very hard pressed to find such qualified candidates as us. The primary care reps will be touched but they won't make any changes in aesthetics.

CHOP, CHOP, CHOP...it is coming. Don't fret though. You are more than likely a 9 or 10 with beautiful curves aplenty. You'll get hired by some horny manager in no time. Of course, he'll tell you he's hiring you for your experience/knowledge but don't kid yourself. You are nothing more than eye candy for him during ride alongs.

LOL you're a joke. Aesthetics will be Pfizer's elite sales force.

Allergen is nothing but PCP Pod reps. It's funny to read this thinking anyone at AGN would get hired in Biotech or Onc. LOL

I couldn't agree more. I launched Botox, a formidable task in those days which required rolling up your sleeves and getting dirty. They paid us very well in bonus, I'll admit. However, don't leave your Botox job with the false sense of confidence that other hiring managers in biotech will be as impressed with you as you are with yourself because you sell a blockbuster. They are not impressed with your "injectables " experience. In fact they don't look at the aesthetics and dermatology as a specialty at all- that perception is exclusive to the dermatology industry. They want sales reps who know "real" disease state, real reimbursement, real relationships with oncologists and specialists , not dermatologists or plastics. Trust me, I know. It was tough for me to get an opportunity outside of derm and aesthetics. will rarely even get a call to interview unless it is your bff's husband who is interviewing. Keep your high opinion of yourself humble. Others are not impressed.

Pleeease. Sounds like you were fired and couldn't cut it. Anyone in aesthetics can write their own ticket anywhere. We build up businesses. That's what we do best. We are also excellent eye candy which helps in every situation. I can get any job I go after.

this entire thread exemplifies why sales people are generally regarded as full of crap, lazy and not that bright. Btw, sales is sales; the top performers will be successful regardless of product, specialty, etc. What little technical knowledge is required is easily trainable to anyone with half a brain.

So all of you should just settle down after the tough half day you worked today.

Sales are not sales. Can't help it if you weren't accepted in the aesthetic division. We are the elite team.

"The difference between 115k base and 80k base, after taxes, isn't that much."

You lost the audience here. That's an ignorant statement that after taxes it isn't that much. A 43% increase in base is significant by any standards. Would you turn down $1,900 a month after taxes? That's real money in your hand.

You're nuts I went from 80k to120k in biotech...trust me it is. That doesn't take into account my bonuses

Left allergan and a horrible manager for another pharma co. Smaller territory. No micro managing (we are grown ups, ya know) and better overall benefits package. 50k more per year with higher salary and much nicer bonus plan. Allergan has never been as good to their reps as the reps think they are.

That's nothing for the aesthetic side. We aren't talking about the primary care divisions. The average aesthetic rep makes 200k plus. Why would we leave?
