Speciality Psych Sales Force.

Just hope the new reps that have never sold Trintellix don't need any help from the reps selling it now. After all, whoever they pick are the elite of the pack! So they think...we'll see.

We already have a CNS Specialty Sales Force it's called Lundbeck. Good luck with your "specialty position"

Elite, saving? Get this straight - Apex never had Nesina, in fact Elite f'ed up so badly the product had to be taken generic; a first for any "major" product. The reason Apex was given Amitiza was twofold; first, to maintain the required PDE's to fulfill our obligation to Sucampo and second, to provide the Elite reps with some initial exposure to the GI market because that's where one of our two cores of business are. Elite loves to say that they have SOOO MANY products but we consider just 3 - gout, Nesina family, and now Amitiza .

After the NSS positions have been filled, expect a minor realignment of districts and regions. Also, bag mixes will change so that basically all Gen Med reps will have Trintellix and Amitiza will the only differentiation is one will have Dexilant and one will have Uloric. In actuality, you will all be Apex.

Yes, I used to be Apex but now don't have a dog in the fight. But we do have a laugh at most of the Elite reps, it seems they suffer a Napoleon complex.It's not the reps' abilities per se, both sides have some excellent people, it is that the products and where they fit in Takeda's long term plan have made the Elite reps so very defensive.

You must not have launched Trin (Brin) because before the Trin launch all your lazy ass Apex partners had the Nesina launch and they didnt do well. The product was switched 6 months post launch so they (now called Apex) could have another chance at a drug launch. Well you thought you were kicking ass until generics were added in (like all the other products have generics in their goal) and now you suck wind! Yeah whatever - keep trying to convince yourself that you can sell something!

I'm sorry that you're so misinformed, most current Apex reps also had the unfortunate experience of trying to sell Edarbi, what a dog. Even so, we did so well that Takeda was able to sell the drug to another company, at a profit no less They then proceeded to run it completely into the ground.

And as for sucking wind with generics, Trintellix will surpass both of the remaining branded agents. All we need to do, as a company, is grow by 1/10 of 1% and that would add tens of millions to our bottom line.

I don't know why you're so hostile, but it does going to prove my earlier point about your "little man complex."

You are all trash.

Does anyone know the timeline when these positions are going to be chosen?

Positions are chosen if you did not get a call this morning you did not get in on the first pass. Raises though are minimal so maybe people will pass on the enlarged territory.

 

[anonymous]

nobody in our region was called today. Maybe tomorrow?

 

[anonymous]

Will other specialty reps be called? Like hospital?

yea, they be called overpaid, not qualified, kiss-asses, etc among other things

Is it really worth the increased scrutiny, larger territory, relying on one product? Raises are roughly $4-5K, from what I understand.

The raises are 3k across the board!

You also have to add in a larger (by 4K) targeted bonus. I know it is only a target that might not be paid but so is our present one.
