Sales Meeting

This meeting will hopefully be my last. It was a joke. Chaos and lack of goal or meaning honestly. Docs are also now classifying it for rescue and feel it is not a true 'need'. ….also not great efficacy.

 

You are one negative POS !! You know these meetings are geared towards newbies and the younger set. The 'old fart' ways simply dont work with them. You cannot put them under too much pressure or make them uncomfortable. Our consultants have made that very clear to HR. They are the future of Acorda...not the 40+ year old who posts on CP.

 

Troll. You’ve clearly never been to a meeting and 90% of us are “old fart 40+”. Pretty much ALL the new hires are older seasoned reps looking to make this their last stop on the train. Former managers as reps are the new norm. Hence why everyone is now being hired as a Senior ABM.
And you keep talking about “consultants “ dropping the ball. Vendors etc.. extra proof you don’t work here. Very few vendors are used period. The poor training department works like dogs to get everything done they need to do. HR has zero to do with a sales meeting other then the guy that got let go last meeting for hitting on his teammates.

 

Sorry, you apparently don't understand sarcasm ! We are as a group way too old for our sales positions ! Too expensive for what value we provide. Be honest. We need new hires that are half our age !

 

The big question is will Medicare pay? What is our copay story? There may be some $$$ help

 

I have had a few offices tell me some of their patients are unable to afford the copay. How are you handling that issue in launch mode?

 

Same way every company handles it. NOTHING. It’s illegal to help anyone with government insurance with copays.

 

This post makes no sense to me, isn't everything guaranteed?

 

This posts makes no sense to me. Where in life is anything guaranteed? WTH are you talking about?

 

ok, so I am new here and dont know all the details. Isn't the insurance ccoverage for everyone we sell to? they cant take away someones insurance jus like they cant stop unemployment
now you understand ok ?

 

Holy shit Habib, maybe you should understand the fundamentals before you prognosticate WW revenue for a product only approved in the US.

It’s very simple. You can assist with co pays for commercial insurance. You cannot for anything the government covers like Medicare or Medicaid.

Here’s the problem. Doctors and there staff want things as simple as possible. They try to write inhaled Me Too and the patient complains. They assume it’s too expensive for all and stop writing.

Back to 10 my little PR minion

 

What about our charitable organizations? This issue WILL dog us. If they have Medicare the copay is high. I had a nurse call me and tell me of two cases where the copay was $250.00 The sad thing is moat all of our patients are 65 and older. Keep fighting the good fight. Our sales will never be what they project.

 

I'd say same. miss the old people that were here from all depts. This company now is just bland and generic. This meeting was a joke ….a lame one. presenters sucked, training sucked and the food sucked!

 

Brilliant idea! Let’s have charities pay the copay for government insured patients.

Not even Habib is that stupid, though he tries really hard.

Might want to ask Lundbeck how that worked out for them.

 

get a 501c3 augment the copays. so whats wrong with that? bet we could get a lot of rich donors esp for the homeless and disabled on the street!
I think you are tooo judge mental

 

You are very clever. As a CPA with 27 years of practice I can vouch for your strategy. Other pharma probably use it as well. So Good job ! You must be a management level to conceive this approach.

 

Glad you don’t do my taxes Habib.

If ACOR has anything to do with the solicitation of funds for payment of their meds through any channel you can expect a hefty fine.

The good news is you can always rebate north of 50% if you want good Medicare or Medicaid coverage.
