What is Tepezza team like?

Actually its #TRUTH. Probably has a Bernie Sanders sticker on the bumper of his Prius too. He has no business leading this division. He commands zero respect from the salesforce. Morale is at an all time low. Almost like he forgot what it’s like to carry the bag. If he even has. And if he did he definitely wasnt a performer. He’s all over us about target reach yet target reach isnt even updated in powerbi. Now were going to excel spreadsheets like it’s 1999. Whats next, TPS reports??? Get it together man. Listen to your people. We are the boots on the ground. We know whats best for our business.

Agreed, the spreadsheet thing made me literally laugh out loud.

I can assure you that next year will be metrics driven. Number of calls. Calls on targets as prescribed by ZS. No patience for variance with over calling on targets. Number or programs. Number of emails. Number of opened and resolved rep alerts. Time to open alert. Things you can't even imagine. Amgen knows no other way. There is zero sales culture. There is only the culture of measurement for measurements sake. Buckle up.

Hit the nail right on the head. We are 2 weeks in and already mgmt is freaking out, a report was sent with those SAMs who don’t have any PEFs yet and were asked for justification as to why.
Many managers have relayed that this year will be all about metrics… at least one program a qtr is required, and it’s only going to get more intense as the year goes on.
Management feels that there are far more patients out there than are being diagnosed. Tad wants to treat TED like dry eye. Buckle up!

100%
 






Regardless of the GM spread across Amgen's commercial business, they only know one thing: Reach and Frequency. Make 2 more calls per day on the recipe ZS gives us. That's it.

Why?
Managers were sending out reports week 2 with lists of SAMs and how many enrollments they had, how many starts, and if too few wanting to know why? My entire region went over it on a region call.
So please spare me your attitude.
I agree with this post because our region was told the same thing.
-program each qtr
-no (or very little) deviation from call list
-4 lunches a week
 






I was on the list and yes I had to explain why I didn’t have any PEFs. Never mind that I had starts. The information being shared is correct.
4 programs a year
Tiered targets only
4 lunches a week

Everything is being tracked and monitored. It’s absolutely out of control. Wait till they start with another KPI on segmentation.
 






Vision is also a complete mess! PowerBI was exponentially better. Vision is slow, cumbersome to use, and not iPad friendly. You cannot search by PM, PEFs aren’t showing up in the funnel, and home office is taking their sweet time updating it. It is not an upgrade, but they will tell you it is.

Nothing wrong with this. Is actually easier. Just show up a few times and fake the rest of the calls.

The problem is that Amgen doesn't pay well. I know reps on the Tepezza team that used to make 300k a year in bonuses. Now its a 250k a year total job. Not bad, but not what we are used to.

I make 400k last year, 2024 so not sure who you’re referring to
 






What is the Tepezza team like? It used to be great, but Amgen has sucked the life out of it. We’ve had rotating directors, and the current one has no clue about rare disease. He’s scrutinizing reports and hounding reps about PEFs even though we aren’t measured on them. My manager gives me anxiety and thinks they are the best, yet is completely clueless. Management is completely delusional about how many patients there are. Every Sunday I have anxiety about Monday cuz this place has turned into a metric driven nightmare. They are going to drive all the reps away.
