Were you expecting anything else? Do you think they even bid on any new contracts? I have been with many pharma companies and have never seen such pisspoor managed care. It would be okay if forecasting and goals were based on this lacking coverage.
This is DRY EYE. If there is no price incentive there is no purchase incentive.
We are all fools. Nobody is making Q4 goals (or in 2018) and we should all be rioting and looking for jobs. Yet, we are recognized and rewarded for signing patients up on Ask Iiris! What about sales performance and working toward a goal? Very disconnected leadership; yet we are stupid and shallow and falling for the silly distractions. This place is a dump and yes, I’m being critical of myself and everyone still here! Before HQ boy chimes in to tell me to leave....thanks for the suggestion as I hope to!
I can see why people dont hit their goals in this unit. Managed medicaid, state medicaid, and part D medicare/medicaid are all different animals. We are not covered on all managed medicad, no part D medicaid plans, and state is like 5% of medicaid. Not to mention managed medicaid denies almost everything because thats what their purpose is. Their existence is to save the state money. Do some damn reading or ask somebody that works there.
Inreally cant believe they are putting the future of this drug on ask iiris j stead of getting one new part D plan. Generic restasis and suns product are coming out and having a major part d plan would have given us a nice boost.
Upper mgmt has golden parachutes...it's eat or be eaten here, nobody cares about sales.
My 2nd largest commercial plan is not covering xiidra. The largest requires restasis 1st. They dont care.
Happy Monday. We control what goes into our minds. Protect the fortress. One bad thought can damage your day. Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. Enough of the woe to me regarding managed care!! Grow up Snowflakes!!
Comment friend....how can we get in contact ?The AVERAGE TOTAL volume of the dry eye market has DECLINED over 10% this year. Our goals have continuously increased over 20% per quarter.
That's AVERAGE. Some territories have had a 2% decline, some a 20% decline in total dry eye scripts written.
Leadership has failed us by making us responsible for their poor forecasting. Although I never rely on bonus for my budgeting, this year has been beyond disappointing for over 90% of the OBU sales force as we are not making even target bonus.
To top it off, Regional Managers have used the opportunity to pass the buck and put overly derogatory comments in annual reviews that we will all be forced to carry forward in finding new jobs when we are cut from Takeada since leadership thought it was wise to grossly over-hire for this division.
The way management has handled the situation is beyond disgusting.
I don't care what happens going forward, I will NEVER work for or under any of the current management again. To attempt to ruin people's reputations in a review to cover for YOUR poor business acumen and lack of industry knowledge (or just plain STUPIDITY) is not only unprofessional, its cruel and comletely out of line.
And Regional Managers who have gone along with this instead of having the morals and ethics to stand up and do the right thing- SUCK IT! You are SCUM.

Pretty much...one of the MANY reasons I'm leaving at the end of the week
Exactly!
My RM slammed every one of us. He seems to think the reason none of us made bonus is we didn't use Fingertip Formulary or we use vital signs instead of i view. I hope his review is stinky and he loses his job.
Ohhhh, I hope my RM reads this and knows he fits this.
My RM just regurgitates what the ZD says and has her nose so far up his ass it would need to be surgically removed.
Not to mention coverage in my region is terrible...
Why would you use vital signs over iview? Seems like laziness and poor planning.
Managers should be glad they have reps who bother to look at ANY data instead of slamming someone who is actually using something and doing some pre call planning. What an asshat boss. It might be the same jerk i have.
Why should managers be glad? Pre call planning is something a rep should want to do not something a manager is happy they possibly do. Iview and macro planning is something that is a hell of a lot more helpful that looking at data in vital signs before 2 or 3 calls per day. Have fun at kala and keep tour reaume handy becAuse youll prob be looking again in a year.
Are you serious? We have ONE PRODUCT. We are seeing these offices at least twice a month due to territory sizes. If you have to sit down with Iview every day you might have some mental or memory problems that you should see a doctor about. If you are looking at vital signs you can see a synopsis of each doctor from your iPad without having to lug around a laptop. And, honestly most reps I’ve talked to are so unhappy with current management they are barely hanging on. Why would a manager give negative comments in a review about utilizing data anyway? That is a true asshole. If you want a rep to utilize certain data sources, have a conversation with them. Do you REALLY think using iiview instead of vital signs as a data source is going to change territory performance? Really?
