Tamiflu Reach and Frequency

[Anonymous]

If you started the project with a clean Tamiflu list, you would not have peolple making 15 calls to the same doctor! This problem has been going on since the 1st Tamiflu contract.


Unfortunately the Data Management team and or DMs never clean up the lists properly and or they get lost in the transfer and are reassigned to the wrong rep.


You put your people under pressure to meet call goals that are sometimes impossible, becasue they are working with a crappy target list that never gets straightened out and unrealistic reach and frequency goals with zero wiggle room for the reps.


It is not the reps fault, this is is management shortcoming.


You keep believing your own bullshit about how clean the lists are and then you never follow through effectiviely to clean up the lists.


Additionaly when when you accepted the nonsense that Genentech threw out to you about allowing only 5 % deletes and 5% no sees you set your company and sales team up for problems.

Poor negotiang on your part folks.


Good Luck and Good Selling!

I so agree with you!!

Even when I try to remove someone from the list, because they up and died or moved - my DM says put them in the decrease freq. bucket - and then they just reappear month and month.

This is SUCH A SECOND RATE company!!

Nice Contract Negotiation Skills, America.
Just sign anything - as long as you get the contract, right??

you know, if they are not going to try to provide us with a clean target list, they could pay us, say $100 to clean it up ourselves. I have spent countless UNCOMPENSATED hours getting mine in good shape.

What do you say, America? How about it? Not for folks that have been in a territory for years, but for those of us who are given a new geography - or new specialists to call on.

Or, don't you really care?

There does seem to be a lack of pride in carrying out certain job responsibilities here - and I'm not talking about the field forces.

Treat us like the professionals we are, and I bet you'd see a lot better results. Not just collecting signatures, but actually making impactful calls that driver market share.

Ultimately, isn't that why we are being hired by the Big Pharma folks in the first place?

I think we are paid $8.00 per doc for delete or for each clean-up.

Keep Dreaming! There is no list clean up pay for Tamiflu. And even if you have been in the same territory for years, they give you docs that have never been called on for ANY contract!

I like having to repeatedly, regularly delete the dead/retired/moved providers.

If someone has gone over a year with NO NRxes, assume that they are no longer in practice,

god, this place is filled with Morons, both the HO and outsourced.

how about those inside try acting like professionals, it would all roll downhill - try it, you'll see

instead all you do is CY collective A's

This is the worst job I have ever had period. It is very obvious and even stated by management that they do not care about integrity or ability. A bottom of the barrel job with a bottom of the barrel company.

 

[Anonymous]

Whew, you just figured it out?? You shared folks must be bottom of the barrel folks as well. Good fit!

So glad I'm out of this crap.

Bottom feeders will always sink to the depths of dispair. And nothing is more true than with PDI and in particular the Shared arm. It's sad what the shared sales reps have to put up with, and at the becon call of the idiots in upper management, none of which are qualified to run any business including a family. Shame on PDI.

Get out while each of you still has some self-worth and reinvent yourself outside of the PDI miserable work environment.

Uh, say Idiot! It is "beck and call" and not 'becon call'. It's sad when you run someone else down and can't even say it right.
