Two Sales Teams = PODs!

[Anonymous]

No matter how it's spun, the "overlapping" means we will have 2 reps per territory
calling on each high decile customer. Get your routing done so you won't
trip over your "overlap" partner.

How do you know that there will be pods and not just smaller territories? Did they say "pods" on the conference call? No changes will probably take place until after June 8, but then they will be fast and furious, Will the Pain Force Reps have to interview? Will their salary be reduced?

Of course they didn't say "pods" on the call... That is a bad word. "Two teams with overlapping
customers". Think through the PR spin. Pain team rep and Neuro team rep in each territory. 75% shared targets. Pretty sure that means a P-O-D.

PODS is your concern?? I would be worrying about how your managed markets team is the absolute WORST in the industry!!! The WORST!!! Maybe the worst I've ever seen in 25 years in this business. Good Luck. None of this you have any control over.

You have competition. The reps on the Zogenix board claimed the same thing about their MM team being the worst in the industry.

MM in opioids is like volunteering to incarcerate yourself on death row. There really isn't any value proposition managed care will listen to aside from "make it cheap." Your MM folks really don't have a chance. They're trying to hit fast balls with pencils.
