Management on Steglatro

[anonymous]

Why do you guys get so happy when things are good and so mad when things are bad? Have you not figured out that it is determined, way above your head, who wins and loses? Managed Care determines who wins and loses. If you are in a state that has a high volume of the plans that cover a particular drug, you will win. If you don't you are screwed! It has very little to do with skills, intelligence. Also, if you are hit with a ton of objective at the start of 1S or 2S, even though the plans in your area do not cover the drug with said objective, they want you gone. That's how it works.

Agree with everything you say except how it pertains to Steglatro. Everybody started out at 0 and plans are not really a factor at this point. It really comes down to a little luck and some skill as it pertains to this drug. The better reps generally show up better at launch when there is very little manipulation of goals because there is no history. Give it a couple of quarters then the goals will be adjusted and then some will get screwed while others will benefit.

True with a launch it comes down generally to the best rep wins

I agree that Steglatro is really on a tear. Look at the latest numbers at a national level. Dave is really pleased his strategy is working. This has to be one of the greatest launches Merck has been involved with. Incidentally it is not only the south now that is blowing out the numbers. The south is still substantially ahead but take a look at the other parts as well

Wow! No wonder the job share reps Bob and Neal win all the awards. What a great team of reps.

I have come to hate looking at our numbers. 1 Rx a week is leading?
This is going no where but down.
Get out while you canand Good luck to all

Not true. Merck is very pleased how the duo of Januvia and Steglatro are doing. Dave is very pleased What a leader. Januvia and Steglatro are growing nicely especially in the south.

Shame on you getting so few scripts out of this blockbuster. This is a salesman’s drug. Great efficacy and free What else do you want. 2 to 3 scripts You have to be kidding

salesperson not salesman. It is 2018 and our field force and excellent reps are people not men only. You are a dinosaur..

The market is telling our Salespeople through Non use that Stegosaurus is dead. 1 Trx a week from customers means there is something wrong with the drug... 4th to market with added benefit, no clinical, Not Needed.

Working on my resume as we speak.

Whoever keeps talking about how the south is rolling is a fucking liar, I’m in the SE and we suck.
We are in deep trouble my friends

Go on Gator and see how the south is blowing the Steglatro numbers out of the water. Take a look. We are selling all the benefits of Steglatro and doing it very well. Take a look at Britton’s region in the south and you will see what we are doing. Gator does not lie

thanks Britton’s self serving DM for your self endorsement and identifying yourself.

You have 1 Trx a week per rep.
That is not successful.

Our jobs are all in jeopardy when marketing blames sales and converts our jobs to contract sales.

Britton ‘s region is blowing Steglatro out of the water. Check out Gator. His districts are selling the shit out of Steglatro. Please recheck. Call his teams and ask them how they are doing it

I think you are reading Gator upside down. 1 Trx a week per rep is a total failure this far into launch.
F stegosaurus we are donejust keep my pay checks coming.
