Pulm interview

Guest
I have an interview Thursday for the Austin/San Antonio territory. I am employed now but am getting somewhat "bored". Does anyone know why this territory is vacant? What is the manager like? M? F? Micro-Manager, etc? Is the drug better/worse than what's in the market? How is reimbursement? I'm going to ask these questions to hiring manager as well along with my own research, but want a true "boots on the ground" perspective..... Thanks everyone! Any info is appreciated.

All of the products for Alpha 1 are pretty much the same. Reimbursement is not a problem. The problem is that the disease state is very rare and several companies are all fighting over the relatively few newly diagnosed patients each year.

Glad to hear reimbursement isn't an issue. Doctors don't mind Buy and Bill for the drug?
If there are several companies going after the few patients, can you tell me how "you" set yourselves apart? Example: are you budgets for T&E big enough to do what you need to do?

I also read other posters saying something about a specific detail format ? Gag... I want to be able to SIMPLY SELL without having to following some stupid and irrelevant "selling formula" some dimwit put in to place.....thoughts?

its a glorified PCP gig. Decent base - no bonus - trying to convince my old PCP contacts to suddenly invent the need to test patients for something they will likely never have. A resume' filler
 






The RSD for this position is a solid and trustworthy guy. You have to decide for yourself if the position is something you will like. It is unlike anything you have done and can be stressful.
 
























Good job for 12 months, if you are desperate.
Test kits are free, drug is expensive and you will be battling CSL and Baxter for every script for identical blood products.
Grifols is the leader but MDs tired of the game- super rare disease...
 






Quota's are high, patients are rare. CSL Behring (the competition) has just expanded their sales force. More reps now looking for a needle in the haystack. Some institutions don't even believe that this is a disease. As the previous poster wrote - good gig for a year.
