I'm an old overpaid hideous salesman

Nobody wants an old salesman. I'm good but I'm not wanted. I'm an old fossil.

????????????????????????????????

Only smart companies hire "old" salesman.

We are in DUMB pharmaceuticals, so I guess that is par for the course. This industry prefers idiots that don't make demands. People that are smart enough to do the job, but dumb enough to not question anything, like bonus lies and mental abuse via the field coaching report.

 

How old is "old"?

 

Im 44. I hope anyone under 35 Gera out of this industry and gets a real career before its too late. It's shrinking and they want to hire younger reps at a lower salary. Good luck.

 

Here is a news flash for you all: EVERY FUCKing industry is corrupt and sucks. Grow up.

 

44? you are still a baby! try 57

 

Hell yeah. Shut up and get that money.

 

Do your homework google age and class action lawsuits.

Attorneys being hired more these days unfortunately or fortunately challenging companies that rid the old and hire the young. I forget pharma company recently lost lawsuit for age discrimination these companies need older folks and a mix of ages to avoid possible complications. Tenure reps or older folks are a good investment with the many years of not only experience but relationships they may hold. I would focus more on recruiting tactics that may happen third party recruiters as Ventiv Health or Quintiles and document what happens amongst the older groups and put together and hire an attorney! That is where the true problem may happen and hiring managers may not be aware of this.

 

That's why these dumb company managers began hiring dumb ( to medicine) ex cheerleaders, car salesmen/women , office machine salesmen, rental car salesmen, etc, etc, who don't know a spark plug from a spirochete. Thus, physicians began to ban them from their offices .

 

And you, with your nasty, immature mouth, telling someone to grow up , ROFL.

 

very true here.
if you ever had any doubt about your ability to do these medical sales jobs, stop and think. look at the education from these people in our industry. Most have state school education in majors that are not very difficult to get. Its not like you have Ivy League graduates in the medical industry, unless they are the CEO or in upper, upper management. The ground troops are of average intelligence and many suck at selling What they are good at is bull shitting their way through an interview, and sucking off a manager to keep their job.
My advice is do this job for about 10 years, save every penny, then do something you love. This industry wears your out, because the people in this industry are not smart.

 

Get a life loser. I am 42 and my boss thinks I'm in my 20's. so STFU- get some Botox a short skirt and ride that shit out. In the mean time- find something worthwhile to complain about- not that you're a dipshit moron who can't recognize a good thing in front of you. Next!

 

WRONG! Nobody wants a crybaby pu$$y loser such as yourself. Now go put your big boy panties on, and sell some fake pharma shit!

 

The industry once had science majors with multiple degrees that could converse with doctors and get it done. They ran us off and left you all. It is what it is.

 

You are old

 

I’m old and been carrying the bag for over 30 years. I have 3.8 million in my 401k and will retire at age 60 in 2 years. For all the people whining, this has been a great career making a ton of money and very little stress. I don’t mind carrying a sack of Olive Garden to the office cows, it has made me wealthy. Get over yourself and realize that you have an easy gig getting rich.

 

Wealthy? Surely you're joking? First of all, you don't know if you will last two more years before they can your ass, and once President Kamala Harris and VP Beto O'Rourke ratchet up taxes on folks like you, you'll be supporting at least a couple of thousand illegals...

Don't count your chickens cochise, and glad you don't mind carrying in bags of Olive Garden...That pretty much says it all about you.

 

The model for rich people is this. 1. Don't get married. 2. Don't have children. 3. Don't drugs (drinking is doing drugs), 4. Don't have sex. Rent or mortgage under 1k/month. I did all of this. Have a few houses paid off, have about 1.5 M in stocks, some land, and 3 nice cars, all paid.

The rest of you haven't done 1-4 and are suffering.

Hope the younger folks listen.

Of course, the marriage part is OK of you are a woman.

 

Actually...very solid advice here. The last line/point is not only funny but oh so true. I applaud you for making sound choices.
