Love Takeda, but...

what I don't like about takeda is the company has No fight in them!!! When competition ramps up, Takeda pulls back. Linzess comes and spends spends spends, and takeda pulls back spending on Amitiza. They let linzess (2nd to market) take the market. Now Trulance has entered the picture and they are spending spending and spending. Takeda is cutting back again and got rid of the speaker programs. Linzess is back defending their turf like they should spending and spending to hold off the new comer. Linzess speaker programs, commercials, lunch ins, etc. Takeda continues to pull back. Takeda subscribes to "if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen". No Fight!!!! When I say this, I mean Takeda the company, not the reps. Reps are fighting their asses off trying to hold share. It's hard to maintain share after linzess and trulance just discussed with your big GI that their speaker program is 10/xx/17, 11/xx/17 and also 12/xx/2017....then Amitiza rep walks in, and we are hoping that the great relationship with the doctor can somehow equal the $3,000/event honorarium the competition is bringing. No Fight!!! Jeez I wish takeda management would read this, but they would probably just curl up in the fetal position and hide under their desks!!! Can I challenge Takeda Leadership anymore!???!
 


















They don't care to fight because 3 of their drugs lose patents in the next few years and they know they are laying off lost the primary care sales force. Why should they care about or invest in those reps futures? They don't give a crap about the people they consider as peons

I work in the home office. This couldn’t be more true, sadly. They play with people’s lives with no regard to the fact that the field has families to feed, etc
 








OP... so true. Sadly not just with a Amitiza, but all our drugs. Not profitable enough to sell Contrave....they give it the axe. Their super awesome idea on launching an authorized generic for our Nesina line..... and surprised that the only uptake is with Medical??? And therefore don't need reps or can't afford reps to lose money selling it.... All these poor decisions along with fumbling around not buying product(s) they promised... This all leads to another commenters post that yes, they don't give a shit about the primary care sales force and undoubtably have a plan to close us down. For some reason I'm clinging on to the hope that something will happen for us all, but I'm certainly not counting on it and plan to evacuate this sinking ship come spring. Hopefully we won't drown prior to that!!!

The writing is there on the wall. Primary care is history. Snowflake. Seek a safe place.
