Beginning of the End for Sales Reps?

AP is reporting that Pfizer and Sermo (a social networking site for doctors) have closed a deal that allows Pfizer to monitor and interact directly with doctors.

Now I don't know about you, but that's writing on the wall. This blogger also sees it that the rep career is on its way out.

Look people, the days of old are gone. Companies will have more and more docs working for them, giving other physicians our message. Rather it be through Sermo, conference calls, video playbacks, internet, etc. But the sales rep will always be in existance, just at about 1/2 the numbers we are at now.

Office Cow is funny.

I heard Ken Davis was so upset by this news that he left the company.
