National Sales Force??

[Anonymous]

Asking for a post here is like the blind leading the blind. No one really knows and the ones that do aren't talking until Dec. 21st.

I'm predicting a lot of screwing of blind people starting on December 21st.........

Bag 1 are co-promote products. All else are PFE brands. Easier to dissolve salesforce similar to Psych and Oph division in the future.

Bag 4 is Pristiq and Lyrica FM this was on every conference call made by RBD - We are hearing may 100- 150 reps ( not sure about that number but positive on the bag

That's not what we were told at all.

Bag 1, Eliquis et al., [RBU structure]

Bag 2, Toviaz et al.,, [National Sales Force]

Bag 3, Pristiq and Lyrica [National Sales Force]

There is no bag 4. "Bag 4" is women's heatlh, and will be contracted out.

Maybe it was different on your call, but this is what we were told.

No same call I was just using it as

Sales force 1 is Cluster 1

Then the next three that made it 4.

Cluster2 Eliquis RBU

Cluster 3 Toviaz Natl.

Cluster 4 Pristiq Natl.

So I don't get how they wil have a layoff with this configuration. Still need reps for the bags

Quit talking about Cluster 1. Not in equation unless too heavy on certain areas. Like was mentioned in territory post, think Bag #1 (Eliquis) will go unchanged for the most part. Think Bag #2 and #3 will cover whole districts or maybe more.

Then picture this ....

Places with piss poor access will see major cutbacks.

Smaller volume territories will likely be rolled into larger territories. So ..if you have 3 territories ... the smallest one will be rolled into the biggest 2, and you eliminate reps.

Think RMs and DMs ... there probably won't be any RMs in the National Structure. Right now, you have BU, RBU, RM, DM .... cut out the RMs ... you just cut Management. Also, where territories merge, could see fewer districts ... thus DM cuts.

Where there are geographies with more than three total reps ... somebody is losing a job unless they keep two Eliquis" reps. Also .. when geographies are drawn up and smaller geographies eliminated, thus combining reps of geographies ... someone is losing a job.

I can see this getting real nasty, real quick. Question is, can they increase Market Share, and thus profits with fewer reps. It's not going to work out well if they cut a few million in rep salaries, but then lose a few Million in revenue. But .. then the wizards of smart in corporate dont' have much of a track record of being the brightest lighbulbs in the box when it comes to sales.

How do the DSRs pan out? Will they be in the Eliquis Cluster?

 

[Anonymous]

You would think this is a specialty field force outside of primary care. So this could be where
the displaced DSR go.
