It is going to be bloody. The dynamics in the marketplace have changed and will never "bounce" to where it was. Nephrology offices are still locked down like drums. With no samples, there is no need to see us. Our pipeline looks like a third place wanna be, as AZ rushes to the finish line with patients being dialized more than likely on the label. Thought Jynarque was a slog with no competition, Otsuka knows this one is a dog.
With offices locked down, Jynarque still trying to get every swinging Richard on therapy and thus dog...do the Math...
The same can be said for the Neuroscience division! There are way too many people falling over each other getting absolutely nothing done due to facts mentioned prior to your message. No company can operate like this forever. And the reps hate their jobs by now because they feel useless and unneeded while having unrealistic goals!! This industry has become less desirable for years as access became tougher and tougher.
Well said. Lucky for me I'm young enough to lateral into some different industry. I'm done with the lies, phoniness, and desperation. Here's to a big severance my friends!
There is an old saying: "All of us want to tell a story a thousand times, but we only want to hear it once".
It's something Otsuka management (and the industry as a whole) never understood, and the reason offices are closed to reps!

Speak for yourselves!! My offices are WIDE open and begging me to come in. The only thing stopping me is the damn red/green county rule. I am sick of this narrative that offices don’t want us in there. My entire region has open access and is being held back by our own rules.
Interesting that you don't bother to mention your region. Until you do, your post is BS!!!
"Begging me to come in"... In my 30 years as a rep, I have never seen any office "begging" any drug rep to come in. Are you sure you are not delusional???
I agree! I told one office manager that I couldn’t come in until next week and she began to cry over the phone screaming that the doctor didn’t know how to practice medicine without me! The doctor got on the phone and was crying as well, begging me to come in that day to show him why type of patients to use Rexulti in! WE ARE NEEDED AND LOVED!
You guys are talking yourselves out of jobs. Are offices begging me to come in? No. But they are requesting it for resources. For all of you that think your job is so pointless, try going into PCP offices where they actually do need to hear your message and challenge yourself. That’s what Allergan has been doing for years and why they kick our ass. If you think reps and brand recognition don’t matter, Vraylar should be a pretty clear case to prove that wrong.
Vraylar is not Rexulti!!! Take a look at their sales aid and take a look at ours!!! Ours is boring, pathetic, always the same old info and graphs!! Just a different style each quarter or so. And then look at the Vraylar sales aid. Many graphs telling many stories...
so you admit that sales aids and materials provided by reps matter???? Weird. Thought it made zero difference
