OBU Market Development

What in the hell do these Market Development people do? They don’t sell and have no sales goal but try to act like they are in charge of my KOLs and they are some kind of expert??? Most of these people came to the OBU from some failing eye care company. How does that make them a expert of anything other than how to suck? The two I’ve worked with are aweful. KP out of Arkansas is not bright at all. He can’t even talk a good game. Low IQ and zero personality. BD (not short for bowl movement-although I would have felt better having a bowl movement than working with her) in NY is aweful. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t work much and tries to act like she knows everyone. This department is a joke. The head of Market Development is even worse, JB. I had one of my KOLs tell me he met with JB and he couldn’t understand anything he was trying to say. It was something about dry eyes and a water hose. Embarrassing!!!

Anybody else seeing or hearing this?
 




































I couldn't agree with you more. From JB down to his hires they are terrible and not knowledgable enough in the eye care space to work with KOL's. We have BM who is a space cadet. This is recognized at a higher level and changes will be made if its not dissolved. Its just a matter of time. JB has been doing the same presentations with no implementation or success in his programs and initiatives.

Truth. Perfect tag line. Market development is irrelevant
 






Totally agree. The few I have had contact with act like they know everything (they don’t) act like the are great communicators (they aren’t, in fact my 9 year old does better presentations) try to command everyone around like they are a ceo. Worthless!
 






How does this group still exist? Provide minimal (or no) value and they keep expanding. The only time I hear from them is when they try to dump a program on me or need help with a doctor ....because I have better relationships than they do.

The best part is, they are all associate director levels and valued more than the field. JB just got approval to hire 3 more- looks like leadership is just as disconnected as it seems.
