Any idea what Ricks Nov. 7th call is about? We just had the CEO connect call last month.

Yep! We need to do a much better job corporately hiring more diverse Women.

Layoffs in January.[/QUOTE

Is this an assumption or fact?

I don't believe layoffs one bit. The poster about talking about layoffs is trolling. All our drugs are doing well.

The DBU has way too many reps.! Ozempic is taking a bite out of Trulicity!

I am in the DBU and I completely agree that there are way too many reps. 1/3 of my calls are faked or exaggerated. I also agree that Ozempic is doing a good job in the market. But is the answer to combat Ozempic a reduction in head count? I wouldn't think so..

Yes..... waaaay to many reps in the DBU. Everyone is climbing over one another. I’m not sure the answer isn’t to cut the dead weight. If you keep your best sales reps, they can sell and be effective. Share of voice is overrated and an antiquated mindset. It just irritates the customer. Ozempic isn’t beating us because of the share of voice. They are beating us because they beat us in head to head in a trial. Efficacy still matters to customers as long as the coverage is there too. I think we need to re-evaluate our goals moving forward. Trulicity is a Phenomenal product and will continue to do well....just probably not at the level prior to the Ozempic approval.

I have learned at Lilly, you never can predict what they are going to do when it comes to layoffs etc . It is ALWAYS different than expected. They do not even tell DMs until few days before reps find out. Watch your back. Be aware.
