Tony was very excited. He had just landed his first pharmal sales role.
On his first day at Shire, the ZD took him up on to the roof of the building and said, “I am going to give you your very first lesson in sales. Stand on the edge of the roof.”
Reluctantly, the new salesman moved closer and closer to the edge of the roof.
“Now,” said the ZD, “when I say, ‘jump!’ I want you to jump off the roof.”
“But, sir,” protested the new rep, “there’s a huge drop!”
“Do you want to succeed in pharma sales?” said the ZD.”
“YES,” Tony said
“And you trust me, don’t you?” asked the ZD.
“Yes, I guess,” said Tony.
“So do as I say and jump,” the ZD replied.
Tony jumped. He crashed to the ground and lay there, winded and bruised. His ZD went racing down the stairs towards him.
“That was your first lesson in pharma sales, Tony. Never trust anyone in Shire management!”
