What you need is a SALES force. Not a bunch of spoiled dimwits who walked in and dropped Actos samples off by the caseload. I think rozerem proved that for us.

Because if you were actually selling you would have established a relationship or two?

At least they were smart enough to get their name right the first time!!!!

Which also proves my point. Why could AZ do an easy transition from Prilosec to Nexium, yet Takeda can't do the same with Prevacid to Kapillent? The marketing team stinks and the reps can't sell for shit. You should all be embarrassed and reduced to 35K a year for sample droppers and kraft services.

We are every week when that ELR comes out we cringe while we wait and see how many docs did or did not write , how many rxs we did or did not get. Any of the members of any pod who would have it would be in the same boat.

Mediocre training dept. + below average marketing dept. + brutal upper mgmt. + average sales reps but at least most care about the job they do + bottom feeder products = present day Takeda. Sad story.

more like the ones who can't sell it should be embarrassed! Why not look to our leadership for direction and inspiration? Call up and ask your RSD...Hey Mark...ever try to develop a person instead of tear them apart? Isn't THAT leadership? What have you done MARK?

This is why we need to bring back the other Mark-Booth. We would not be selling a bunch of me-too crap if he was running things. TPNA had a plan-then TAP came in and this ship has been drifting with no direction since and thats the hard truth my friends.

The integration in 2008 was the beginning of the end for this company. It's a slow bleed out from here. Death by 1000 cuts.

Baseball analogy regarding Mark G. He is like a career minor league player who gets a shot to play in the big leagues with a crappy team. He will be on his way out / back to the minors soon with the next round of pending layoffs. Hang in there Rory.

What plan did TPNA have before the merger, launch Alogliptin? The merger happened because TPNA had no plan. Upper mgt at the time thought with Uloric, Kdex, and Alo TPNA would become a power, but with TPNA legacy contracts and pricing, mktg and managed care people making decisions uloric and kdex flopped. If TAP had been able to launch kdex and uloric it would have been a different story. Neither would have been blockbusters, but there would be more mkt share and no name change. Yes, I know TAP legacy people are at the top, but they didn't bring any of the TAP culture with them. This was and will always be TPNA. 10 years from now business school students will study our demise. It won't be long now.

LOL...If TAP launched it there would be no name change & a better market share....These Tappies have some set of balls.....I am just glad I have no one from the former TAP is selling with me. I guess that is why my district is killing it with Dexilant and Actos and Uloric, Ama as well......but guess what the Tappies sell Edarbi and they have 3 scripts so far.....Former TAP reps, there is no more TAP and there hasnt been one in 3 years. Get over yourselves already and stop living in the past. Maybe if you are able to move on, things might be better. But continue looking at the past and bit*h and moan bc its what you do best.....

We do have big balls
You suck thats why TAP runs the company.
Since when does the acquirer get run by the acquired?
Answer: when the acquirer sucks, that's when! The company
Would do much better without all the Takeda legacy
Distraction.

You're a real a$$hole. If TAP legacy people were in charge then they're to blame. You're typical of what I've seen of all TAP legacy, no matter what the issue is, it wasn't you're fault.

TAP did launch Kdex (oops, they launched Dex and Kdex -- name change occurred under the leadership of TAP Mktg VP and TAP Dir of Mktg, SVP Sales, CEO) and Uloric (VP of Mktg, Dir of Mktg). Launch plans were done deals by the time of the integration.
