"Don't blame your poor sales on a manager, a salesperson can sell without a manager."
Yes yes yes, so very true. Thanks for making such a valid point. This is a specialty sales,force and reps definitely do not need low skilled primary care level managers getting in their way by thinking they can help impact sales. This is the most common misperception by sooo many mid levels like yourself. There is very little that a mid level manager like yourself can offer here other than pushing paper like approving expense reports and other admin type duties. History shows It's a brutal job here being a mid level manager. There has been very high turnover with these managers as all upper Mgmt wants is for them to be mindless drones and to check all the useless company boxes. All the specialty reps want is for mid levels to stay out of their way. There have been some good mid level managers here who have left the company and a handful of good ones still remain but many like you were unemployed cast offs from other companies desperate to keep a job amd make yourself feel needed but reality is you are disposable and really not needed. Think about it, you don't make any visionary decisions for the company and you don't effect the bottom line as you bring in zero sales for the company. Hmmm.... Good luck with that.
