Tecentriq

[anonymous]

Can we get one help? I'm in the NE and there are 6 reps for each Tecentriq rep. So, I go to an account each month for a quarter but there have been 18 visits by other immunology reps. Our message gets lost.

Have you ever noticed that, Opdivo news never mentions Tecentriq as a threat, it's always Keytruda. Most of the time Tecentriq isn't even in the article. I agree with the previous post, we need more people selling Tecentriq and maybe less on Her-2 and Avastin. Just a thought.

I agree with the first post, we need additional help out here. There are reps everywhere and we aren't being heard. We act like we don't want to win. I'm newer to oncology from a primary care position but, I am working my rear off.

You make a valid point, but you are on Cafe Pharma at 3:31pm. Just sayin'.

You are correct, I was waiting on a conference call to start.

lol, Just finished a call and it didn't answer anything. Is goal going to be changed, How are we going to be paid, why are we so behind other PD-1's/ PD-L1's etc. Could the indication be pulled? I'm not excited about them telling me we are still ok and have confidence. Give us some information! They tell us it all happens 2020… I don't see anything happening.

OK, after Wednesday, maybe we don't need any extra people

Ya right! So now what are we going to do?

All of you folks in Oncology don't need to worry. You don't do anything except cater food once or twice a year for your customers anyway. I have always been amazed that:
1) Genentech actually believes any of the Oncology sales reps make a difference because a chimp in a suit could sell your drugs
2) The Oncology group is as arrogant as they are. Truth be told, you divide up your calls for the year between the boatload of reps trying to se the same customers and then you bring in lunch.
Oh, there may be a few of you who see customers once in a while outside of the lunch service but that is far and few between. Your arrogance does a fantastic job of making people believe that your are wonderful, revenue producing employees. Maybe someone will see the light one day..........

Well thank you for the kind words and knowing who brings home the bacon.....much love the oncology team!

challenge the Doctors, make them uncomfortable.. These drugs are all the same until proven different. Why don't we do a big trial for years to disprove that. We put 1200 patients in a trail, the put 120 in theirs. Who won? they did....

After that call, sounds like we are in denial.

If we would just make changes that make sense

Too late now, they should of thought about that before the conclusion of the confirmatory trial, the FDA has no choice to pull the drug! Law suits and lack of confidence from the oncologist, it's not good folks.

When is the hammer going to fall?

This month the FDA is going to pull the UC bladder indication.

Numbers will begin to wash out in about 1 month. We have the worse managers I have ever seen. Are they just dumb or afraid to speak up? We need to get rid of the sales plan and go swinging for the competition. Our data is so weak, I'm not sure I could give it away right now.

No worries folks. Sales results are not important. Remember to check those boxes and get yourself developed. Development is the name of the game. Worthless projects are key. You will be a hero. Don't look over here...look over there. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

You are right, just lean in. We need to go way from a PTP and go to something else. Most people that are doing well don't work anyway but, it's not them it is the way things are set up. If you can set up a conference call about something, anything, you are golden.
