Whats is wrong at Strativa?













the truth about what is really wrong at Strativa is the fact that the moron MM cant get off her ass long enough to send out new formulary updates for the drugs we are launching until after 10 days they take effect!
 






Wow, thats smart. Spend hundreds of thousands training new reps and DM's and take a dip in sales. Just to find out that it wasnt the DM or reps fault. The midwest is traditionaly a slow drug launch area. Give the midwest time and you will see a huge turn around. The conservative midwest mentality will catch on. When it does, watch out. I have seen this happen many times over my career. 1st year on the slow side. 2nd year in a launch you will see a majority of award winners from the midwest. Because of the nature of a conservative physician you will also see a larger mkt share overall compared to the rest of the country. If you clean house in the Midwest now, you are starting over. Relationships are huge.
Adam, I hope you think long and hard about this one. I would hate to see you make a large finacial mistake like this. I understand there will always be a person or 2 who might need to go, but when it comes to true numbers recognize the beast you are fighting before you make any major decisions.
 












Weren't most expansion reps hired on July 12th? I think I remember reading past posts about how they would get rid of reps before 6 month mark as they wouldn't have to pay recruiter fees. So 6 months would be January 12th. Anyone know if there is any truth to this?
 






i dont know adam personally but my manager has made comments here and there that he is really rough on all the managers. i think that is pretty sad if he is because just a few weeks ago he was in our managers shoes as well.

I have worked for Adam for some time now and can honestly say he is the best manager I have worked for. Yes he is performance driven there is no doubt about that. But what is wrong with that? It is so sad that someone so deserving of this position is immediately ridiculed on cafepharma. Why not wait and give the guy a chance. Let's face it, there are plenty of people not performing here and that will not fair them well regardless of who is in charge. Dont make Adam a victim of circumstance. Take a deep breath and realize there is always a finger to point when you aren't performing.
 




























































My guess everyone hangs in through the holidays and tons give 2-week notice first week back in January. Obviously the pressure is going to be even worse next year. Working for this company is miserable. The sad thing is it doesn't have to be this way. Nice move, dropping signatures but it's too late - everyone is fried -complete burnout for a handful of scripts.
 












Quit - That is great news

Lets hope you are not a big talker and master BS artist because my $$$ bets you are

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you feeling a little insecure and buying the company line that you should just be lucky to have a job in this economy? Because there are still jobs out there and any rep worth a damn can still find a way to get out of here. Do you have any idea how much better it can be or is Strativa your first pharma job?

I think there is possibly a little jealousy over those that are leaving for better opportunities and a chance for actualy work/life balance.
