too many reps is the biggest problem!!!!! i see layoffs in the future!
This is happening in oncology. There are currently 3 in a POD right now with three additional institutional reps overlapping each territory. Now there is an expansion going on for the PD 1 and it is frightening me how we may be headed to realignment soon. AKA many will lose their jobs in the wonderful economy
Can't bank on job security with less reps, because more physicians are closing doors to reps. 45% of physicians in U.S. don't see reps!! Who ya gonna call on when the docs are saying going away!!!!!
Don't forget you have an AZ co promote out there too....so that's more reps still, and AZ has publicist contract reps too.....it's the freaking laughing stock.
BMS/AZ are run by idiots. There is no way in hell we need this many reps promoting the diabetes franchise!
More like The Three Stooges- Moe ( DS1), Larry (DS2) and Curly (DS3)
Well wait! It gets better! Now we have The Summit Team - a new Publicis team selling Onglyza and KXR along with DS4???? And the sample dropper people will also be in the field???? The CSR's or whatever they're called? Are they out of their minds???
What is this Summit you talk of?
Have heard nothing in the field.
Just that all 5 divisions mentioned above will all be trained on Dapa?
WTF. Just heard the CV side is hiring more reps? Looks like another Bms clusterfuck.
Senior management living in the 80s, this is all they know to do. Sad, very sad.
Where I am at, we have the exact same number of reps as the BI/Lilly group, and also the Merck, and also the Novo. Except OUR BMS territories are LARGER.
Yes, there are a lot of diabetes reps expecially when you count them from all the companies. From a competitive standpoint, we don't have any more reps than anyone else. Quit yer bitchin. If you all think we don't need that many reps, take a hard look at your sales results prior to the additions. Did you keep up with Januvia or Victoza? I'll just answer that for you right now----not even close.
There are plenty of reasons for this, and adding more reps sure may not fix sales, but can you really blame management for that decision? Stupid to blame management for reps having jobs.
Shut up and go sell.

You're a joke!!! The diabetes franchise never took off!!!! BMS can have 10 reps calling on the same physicians each day and that's not gonna influence them to Rx. The sales model is outdated as confirmed by ZS Associates. It's broken and needs to be fixed and that's not by adding more reps. Formulary coverage is key and that's been one of the problems. This division is sunk and ain't goin no where!
Just what is says...The CV division thinks they can improve Eliquis numbers by adding a "specialty" sales force to call on hospitals or big targets or whatever else this new team will do.
The extra reps are sure not working in the diabetes division.
Well all the reps may not bother you but do we need the mangers too?
I do blame management for this welfare state bullshit stop hiring all these people
In 20 years I have never seen such a stupid system
Agreed
. Management will keep doing what they're doing because that's all they know to do!! Change won't come because innovation left with Hooper.Too many reps and not enough physicians to call on.
Agreed
Haven't heard his name in a while but the lack of innovation is spot on comment
