Compensation

Heard that because of the structure of the new IC plan Q2 and Q4 payouts will probably be larger than Q1 and Q3 payouts. Thoughts?

 

The above is quote was posted by my manager. Third quarter payout will be terrible as will the fourth quarter payout because the quotas will be too high in Q4

Most of the sales force are seasoned professionals. Thanks to the contraction of the pharma industry Santarus definitely benefited and picked up quality reps whether contract or otherwise.
Yes it is true the compensation is low based on industry standards. Remember this is a small company. They are having growing pains. I have every reason to believe that they will step up. There success will be dependent on it. If they value quality people. I believe they do. We all know that this years comp plan was really more complicated than it needed to be. That being said next year that will change. Hopefully for the better and fair for everyone. Either way I am a happy camper at Santarus. I would much rather be happy than miserable and overpaid.

 

OK.. Which DM is this??? Perhaps it's a DM that loves to golf? Watch out, there is a chance of thunderstorms all next week. You may actually have to be in the field because it isn't going to be good golf weather.
