Who comes up with and approves these insanely stupid ideas? Let’s have a speaker program during Covid. Nobody will attend, but let’s put time and resources into this.

You truly are not engaged in your position or know what is going on and how the business has adapted. These programs have and are being done virtually. If you were knowledgeable about your job and not just a "delivery person" you would know that. Sad to see someone like you even employed there.

Live programs have been going on for 2 months. Attendance has been great! For those that don’t want to attend out of the office, there’s certainly many virtual options. Some states have been operating differently than others.

I'm calling your b.s. on this post.
Live programs have historically yield poor attendance of providers that make a difference. Sure, get some MA's or the like to attend, a waste.
The people in house/marketing pretend like they make a difference, total b.s.
Maybe Texas, Alabama or Florida might get some to attend- rest of nation don't think so.

Sound like this post is a plant from marketing- calling your b.s. on this.

Last post nailed it! Doc works 10+ hour day and cannot bring a guest. Is a pre-fixed menu really worth it? C’mon man!

Remember when GSK said they wouldn't pay speakers anymore, because of all the kickbacks etc. that occurred they plead guilty too? time to flush this crap company!

The name of the game is paying/bribing the speakers. We are forced to do programs and I have only one doctor who would listen to the same slides. I’d bet 75% of the virtual programs no one listens. I ask my offices nicely and they oblige but they don’t listen for more than 5 minutes. Total sham. Speaker programs shouldn’t be forced on us or our customers. I can’t believe that gsk legal gives this shady practice a free pass

Spot on buddy. Just watched Crime of the Century on Netflix. It spoke of
The speaker program crimes.. shame on Gsk.
I keep an excel per my manager of ROI for what I get out of or speakers writing habits. She told me to label the document routing.

I’m not a plant, nor from marketing. Maybe you aren’t that interesting enough of a rep to have healthcare providers want to hang out extra time with at a live program? Attendance has been great.

Take a look at who the big prescribers are. Typically they are our speakers. We don’t just pay them to speak, we pay them to gain experience with our products. It’s a clever way to invoke quid-pro quo. As far as customers attending programs, it becomes a humiliating event where we have to beg. Typically the same docs over and over and over.

You fool. Lol. Listen to this idiot calling me an idiot. Everyone knows they are done virtually dummy. Attendance sucks twit. Attendance of actual providers that will make a difference suck whether they are done virtually OR live. Unbelievable. Can’t believe you actually thought you were making sense.

Please pay no attention to the person who thinks speaker programs are great. They are either a plant, a moron, or both. Lol

Someone has some damn sense. I can’t believe some idiot said Speaker program attendance is great. Lol. These are the morons we have at GSK and why we have so many silly trackers and useless work to do. They think these dumb ideas are brilliant.

Lol. This person will be sitting around when the ship sinks and drowns. Either they are new to Pharma or completely delusional.

I can tell you for sure that authorities in the DOJ would be interested in your ROI documents.

I’m keeping documentation of all the kpi trackers, the rsd and fvp demanding/begging messages that we increase the amount of programs. DOJ would love this.

I'm with you. I keep all work related emails that arrive after 4:59:59 PM. I'm biding my time until I forward those off to the OIG.

Enough of the fake educational programs. Free dinner and socializing with old data is a sham.

OMG you think a few speaker’s prescription habits effect the companies bottom line??? Good grief you are out of touch with the meaning behind these educational programs.

A few speakers in a individual territory with a good practice will get you to goal. I agree that a few speakers writing habits will not impact the companies bottom line. It's just one of many tactics to grow your business.
And it is soooo true that we only pay doctors who write our products with both hands. Only one hand, they are highlighted in red and will be removed from the speakers list unless they ramp up the volume.
