The internet was the beginning of this long slow death, aided by inertia and preservation of sales empires. So the new model is in full view for all to see and was already in motion by now. Merck sales will be impacted by the economic downturn, not as drastically as other industries, but there will be impact. Merck will naturally look at cost cutting, and the extermination of face to face sales will be the final act. Praise to those who actually did their job out there in the filed, and scorn to all of you lazy welfare recipients.
This whole thread is a LIE!!! I heard Ken Frazier say NO DOWNSIZING!!!
I would say that more specifically, it was the laptop computer, and the requirement that each rep carry one and report calls for it, began the long, slow death...
Once that happened, reps were forced to lie (because the ridiculous metrics came in) and then the companies were emboldened to use the lies against reps they wanted out...
NAE’s will be the first to go as they are overpaid for what they do.
Lol ! what’s more valuable - someone that can open access to millions or a rep who can’t access half of their customers ???
Idiot,
Sales and marketing brings in money by building relationships. It takes years for R&D to create a drug. Many many failures. Just like you. We can buy a pipeline a half the cost. If you were not antisocial you would know a good relationship is priceless.
Now go get your shine box.
Perhaps you are the idiot - was referring to NAEs that get access for our products.
The end began when we hired too many reps and clogged up the doctors offices. Then we began to dump far too many samples. After that it became the lunch parade. We slowly began to minimize our value. Still, it is great job def worth hanging on to it you can.

SMH to your comment... ahhh most likely another old head who is out of touch with reality of how the healthcare system and industry is changing... I’m blown away by your incompetence. This is the new generation of Pharma, what you thought or think you might know from your “experience” delivering lunches the last 20 something years makes you irrelevant. Please step aside and move out of our way? You can be mad, sometimes the truth hurts, but at the end of the day... who is it that run the company into the shitter? Not the millennials LOLzzz
So true. But, they are regarded as “Super Reps” by leadership so I really doubt they will be let go. They will be saved by moving to a new role in which they don’t have qualifications. Look at IAM folks from last reorganization as an example. Joke!
All sales reps have been breast feeding on mother Merck and that’s about to end
So sad
Go get a real job Panera delivery guy

Fuck you jack ass. Yes food delivery is an incidental part of the job, but some of us are true professionals and actually do sell. You obviously are not in that category.
he was just telling the truth...no one has “sold” in pharma for at least 15 years now
ouch...someone got triggered...hearing the truth can often strike a nerve...
true professional huh? Food delivery is an "incidental" part of the job?
I guess denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
