Oh and I wanted to add that when my manager is in doubt (sometimes the caller ID doesn't show up correctly somehow) he will actually call the number and have the office manager speak to him on the line - just to verify that we are indeed where we say we are. I heard also of another district that their manager plans to require them to use the iPad built-in camera to do a Face Time call twice a day at the first and last offices visited.

You made me laugh so hard I almost peed my pants, my DM makes me facetime him with the Doctor and 3 other office staff one of them must be holding a RX pad that shows the letter head and the Doctor must present his license on the face time call!!! then I have to do the Hokey Pokey and turn myself around!!!!!!!!

Time to move on to another company, another job, another manager. This one doesn't trust you or anyone in his division enough to let them do their jobs. It's sad, but managers like this think this sort of style is effective, when it actually breeds distrust. More time is spent by the reps looking for another job when they would've been gladly doing what they should be if they had another manager. You can't fix this manager, they are too far gone and they'll never understand true teamwork.

This is the tradgedy that we hear all too often in the industry. Seems the rvps have given their managers a great deal of freedom to manage their reps however they see fit as allowed by law. It's rather unfortunate that such management "creativity" is actually encouraged from the top.
 






Wait until your watched on the ipad. The time stamp won't matter anymore. Managers will see where you are instantly... you can't lie. Also your mileage is documented. You have to put in an honest day.
 






What about the time stamp documenting me working on my computer on the weekend or the time stamp documenting me on my computer at 10 pm doing all their stupid admin or responding to my micro managers emails? What about those time stamps?

Doesn't matter buck! It's EXPECTED! You are a slave, so act like one!

You are an idiot if you are working at night and in the evenings. I do that admin shit, and my email at starbucks or outside when its a nice day out while out on my eight hours. My DM has said that the expectation is around 6 hours from first to last call (plenty of time to make 8 calls).
So, the first thing I do is get some coffee or water close to my first and last call and do email. My DM doesn't give us admin stuff though sometimes we have to acknowledge stupid shit. As for Javelin I downloaded the list, had about 25 new targets. Most all where 2s. I deleted 15 and called the rest from the tel # on the downloaded version and verified hours and access. It took about 30-40 minutes. I put in the 2 hours allotted in.
I see manager every 8-1 weeks for a day and half I the field. Where are you working. Can I get some of what you are smoking?
 






It's so obvious when management posts on this thread. This contract has changed drastically and that's a fact. The majority of reps on it are hardworking and honest. This nonsense of saying the posters are "trolls" and "negative" is ridiculous. Sales reps don't like to be micromanaged it's that simple. If you do, you are perfect for big pharma b/c you NEED to be told what to say, to do, where to drive, how long it should be between calls, how many docs need to sign, etc. I personally think it's offensive to ask that of a rep if they are doing a great job and their docs know them and see them on a regular basis. This is not a sales job, it's a job now for monkeys that can't think for themselves. And yes, I will pretend to be a monkey so I can get paid. But I promise you, my numbers will suffer as I make sure I'm checking every single silly box that is required. My signature rate is close to 80%, my activity is outstanding, my tests are taken, my admin is perfect, but I'm not "selling" anything.
