I know some of you read CP, so here goes.
We are now finishing month two of a three week bonus cycle. None of us knows what our goals are. We can assume it would be somewhat similar to last quarter's goals. We are sales people. Our motivations are goal oriented. We have been taught to look at our goals and know how and where to get the business to achieve these goal. I do believe in doing my best each day, but in light of all things happening currently and over the last year of changes and uncertainty, this is one area that should be consistent and communicated. Our money.
We all know what our salaries are, I agree, but how fishy are goals going to look when (IF) we do get them? It is going to appear that you have looked at our previous two months and put goals just out of reach. As you know, in this business the scripts that come in over the next month have already been or are being generated today! Patients tend to finish current bottles before buying a new one, they use that sample before filling a script.
I urge and plead with you, for the sanity of all of us out here, PLEASE communicate what is going on with getting our goals to us. Also, I would highly recommend you consider not giving us something that is not attainable in the next week. You certainly do not want or need a mutiny at this time. Morale is shaky at best as all this awful talk about our company is in the daily news and all over this board and others (Allergan & Valeant). Most of us are concerned for our futures at this company and in this industry. We do not have the same incomes as you yet the same families to support.
Again, I respectfully request you put out communication today about where our goals are. I also recommend goals that are fair and attainable in this crazy environment we are in.
I feel certain I am not the only eyecare rep with these thoughts.
