Please Help Us Japan!











Oncology reps are just reps; reps who focus on a different disease state, call on different targets / clinics, and sell different products. That's it. Could every PC rep move ove to oncology? No. Heck, some of the PC reps I know shouldn't even be in PC! However, the vast majority of my PC counterparts could make the transition with quality training and minimal adjustment. Please don't forget where you came from.

PS - The VP of Sales for Oncology should probably be someone with several years of experience in the specialty, not somebody trying to balance Oncology and PC at the same time.

I would agree with you completely. I have been in oncology for almost 10 years and have won the national awards. I started out in primary care. There is nothing special. Unfortunately, you have some onc. reps who are insecure about their own positions. They need to speak about onc. as though no one out of primary care can take over. I will say the relationships are different but can be developed. Whether onc or pc we all realize this job is less gratifying than it was several years ago. It is unfortunate for all of us.

CS had oncology experience but she failed big time. LM had oncology experience but was the biggest loser around. KW had oncology experience but he couldn't hack it. Enough of the oncology experience crap. There are plenty of losers in both oncology and primary care.
 



I agree. OB had PC experience but still managed to trash PC. Experience is important but vision and leadership are even more important. OB is the prime example for failure.

If CS was still here, we would not have this mess with the launch. CS told LC and Japan the truth and they could not take it and forced her out.

LM had ZERO oncology experience and I am not even sure that CS had oncology experience. KW was making a difference, but let because of OB and his primary care mentality. You have no idea what you are talking about.
