Estorra Speaker Bureau

[Anonymous]

I work for Wyeth and I was in talking to one of my psych this week. He said that your company invited him to a 2 day speaker training bureau back in March. He ended up cancelling all his patients for those two days and a talk that he was doing for Lexapro. Appartently you invited 300 physicians and only could accomodate 100. Needless to say he was pissed and said that the Sepracor rep would be wasting their time visiting him. He will never write Estorra because of the unprofessionalness of this company. Whichever company sells Ambien should send you a thank you letter since he said he writes over 200 scripts a month for the drug. Is this common behavior for this company?

Sounds like quite a doctor, letting outside issues affect what drugs he prescribes!

Have you ever worked in sales??? When will management open their eyes and remove their heads from their asses and realize that sales is as much relationship-based as product-based. I don't know the doctor this guy is talking about, but mine are the same way (as I'm sure everyone else's are as well). Physicians base their decisions on relationships they have with their reps and the company they represent.

Do you mean to tell me that you would still buy from a company that screwed you over personally? Boy -- upper management has done a great job brain-washing you!!

If our company continues to screw over these doctors, then when Estorra launches 3 years from now, how much do you want to bet that management will accuse us of not being able to sell when in reality they are the ones that ended any chance we had.

Damn straight it will fall on us! Two of those psychs were in my territory and they will not even see me now. I agree with you though, pharma companies do not want to recognize that sales are based a lot on relationships, because hell, DMs would not be necessary...damn...now there is a novel concept!

Question from an investor (I chose the first logical site I could find): where is Estorra? In your company's June 16 press release about the response to FDA's questions, it says that you (we) would hear in 14 days whether it was a Tier 1 or Tier 2 response. That was a week ago. What has your company said about the delay in the response?

Thanks.
