Restasis Contract Sales Force





Great point about Xiidra. Those clinics would be the perfect ones to actually include in the call panel. Green reps aren’t even comp’d on Glaucoma. They should not be covering dry eye with Glaucoma MDs, the other teams can handle it. This was a perfect opportunity to target appropriately for a directive approach while hiring and entire sales force! What the hell is the rush with everything in that regard? At least give the managers or existing sales reps input into the call panel. This was beyond messy. Combine that with no one getting paid bonuses well. But marketing can spend a fortune on superfluous materials but yet we don’t have enough Lumigan samples for our Glaucoma doctors and it’s a comp’d product. And everyone is quiet! Managers aren’t getting the actual field input or thoughts and VPs are probably coming on Cafepharma to hear it appropriately. We need some succinct and truthful feedback from top down. Everyone is scrambling and the sales and productivity will certainly suffer.

The marketing material! That deserves its own thread at this point. I would love to know who came up with these gigantic Restasis kits, who approved it, and who they got input from. I think we all know it wasn't a single doctor, tech, or field sales person! Someone with MBA disease sitting in an office shouldn't be able to bring something like this to production without feedback from the field or at minimum from a group of doctors. And why is every single thing we have now enormous??? Where is all this stuff supposed to go? What are we doing here, seriously?
 
















Why are you smashing on green reps?
Woah we are not “smashing” on the green reps. We are confused and disagree with the company to hire an entire sales force to promote a very old drug and that two reps are already calling. It was a bad business move. Nothing personal with the green reps. They even realize this.
 




















Ya, no kidding. I don't even know what to tell Doctors the reason is- except that apparently the two of us can't handle it.

Two of us can’t handle it??? That really makes the two of you look inept. If you need a 3rd wheel we hired the wrong person in that that area. I can’t imagine why you are for this! I have been contacted about it several times. If you need a contract rep you aren’t working your territory anyway.

I would say you are the inept one. They don’t tell their doctors that- it’s calls sarcasm. And your post doesn’t make sense. Apparently the majority of the company is also inept since they hired a whole sales force.

This person doesn’t work at Allergan or in Pharma. No idea how the sarcasm from above was missed. We had no say in adding a contract sales force. They were supposed to call on low volume offices and AGN got drunk along the way making their call panel. 2 reps can absolutely handle one product coverage.

Woah. Thanks for reminding us we had no say in adding a contract sales force. I forgot. They usually consult with us and ask our opinion on everything.
 




















As bad as it seems I’m glad I’m not in the Durysta debacle!

not even sure what that is but seems many people have left. It’s surprising to me how little communication there is cross teams with eye care divisions and also from top down. We don’t know what the right and left hands of all eye care divisions are even doing or performing. And yet we are all seeing the same customers. Dog eat dog? Every man for themself? That’s not how it used to be.

You don’t know what that is? You are part of the problem. We are in the process of being locked out.
