You have to tell your DM if you are interested in a promotion of any kind and what path you are interested in-sales, sales management, training, managed care, marketing, hospital, etc. It varies by region and area. Some divisions have little to no turnover in higher spots and they are filled with tenured employees. Others are the opposite, people are stepping down, leaving, or getting fired all the time. Some like to promote older and/or more experienced or tenured reps. Others like 'em young and dumb. Sometimes a higher level spot opens and nobody even wants it.
you better be good with your mouth.....
How long were you with the company prior to being promoted? Did your DM ask you if you were interested in the promotion or did you simply post?
Looking for truthful responses please. Save the wise cracks.
That's the whole point apparently, the RDs in those regions don't want them to have any ideas, creativity, or skills other than saying "yes sir!" and "great idea, you're a genius!" and the ability to to be okay with having zero respect from their reps since their relationship with them is completely contrived and based on nothing sincere so we are just saying the same things to you that you say to your RD, if we want to keep our jobs that is.
