hate to admit it, this is where biotech is heading following big pharma
Overlays get bonused on the sum of two territories. While you are sitting around with a poor attitude, bitching about things you can't control, overlays are getting good bonuses. Whether you welcome them into you territory or not.
Not all overlays are making more, some are making less. It depends on the sum of the territories. They are traveling more, working longer hours, and are constantly unwelcomed. Nothing glam about being an overlay, including bonus.
BG-12 will be submitted in this first half of this year.
FF will have to expand by around 45; still competing with Novartis' larger sales force
BG-12 will have a dedicated FF in first position; it will not be Ty reps
Smaller footprints? not happening
As of now, it looks like 90 Tysabri leads, 90 Avonex leads, 90 BG12 leads. So we are going to expand by 45, hired and trained to hit field by July 1st. Most territories will have 3 reps mirroring each doctor.
And it looks like the current Avonex reps will have BG12 as their secondary product. Yup, you heard me right! Chuck is handing our new product to a group of new reps!!!!
Fact: No new Biogen rep will ever have bg12 in the primary position
Fact: The overlays are as useless as they come
Fact: I think the overlays are so sub par its amazing
Fact: They will be gone in 24 months once Biogen realizes they are useless
I wouldn't bank on the expansion anytime soon... Biogen just announced that they delayed the FDA filing for BG12 due to some "undisclosed side effects" that need to be investigated... I wonder what these could be?
that is such BS! Application being sent in end of March.
hopefully
hopeful? application was submitted last week- do you trolls read????????
The real question is how many more will they hire for this expansion? Will they do more with O/L territories? Contract SFs? Tripping over each other as it is fighting for the same patients, turning into big pharma pod system
