No more Alcohol at speaker programs













It's an industry dirty secret. Speakers no longer influence at these events. They read from slides and cannot address anything off-label. Not promote..they can't even give an opinion. Basically, a 12th grader could put on a suit and tie and read the slides. No difference. Having a speaker is a way to pay a high volume prescriber to write our drug. Every company does this and if we don't do it, our products remain in the sample closet. Think about why our company pushes sooooo many speaker events. The speaker gets more honorarium and subsequently prescribes more of our products. The attendees, usually mid-levels and MA's, enjoy a free lunch and return to work with a full belly. Everyone knows this, its just never discussed out loud.
 






1. Can we still create fake attendees?

2. Will healthstar still remove unique ids from reporting and reassign CIDs behind the scenes?

3. Can we still recruit for virtual programs without ever providing a url to customers to join?
 


















GSK once again leading the way. Always easy to lead and say you are a leader when no one is following you. Just like they said about patient first but no other companies were that stupid. Comical organization. Guess they want even lower attendance and lying by reps.

Oh yes I remember being directed to do the Imitrex Pediatric Programs, the Wellbutrin ADHD in kids with Dr. Paul running all over the country, reps giving his book away, all the money getting hammered! Good times! Selling off label harming kids! So much fun!
