DCS’2’s next on chopping block

I’m not sure it makes that person feel good, but it’s certainly a reality that it’s time to face. Whether we like it or not, our customers feel like the insulin market is commoditized, and all that matters is formulary coverage and out of pocket cost for the patient. Our days of promotion are dwindling rapidly.

 

The number will be 30% of the field force

 

Who are you are how do you know that - you are just the typical CP troll attempting to make people worry - well without any good proof - I call it speculation

 

or a sanofi troll who is about to receive their pink slip and wishing ill upon others

 

Rumors.

 

Do you really think they’re going to need 3 people teams to sell a pill

 

well in that case, the 3s could also be cut. One full glp1 and one insulin/glp1 rep per terr. NNI would never just cut all promotion and support of the insulin portfolio at this point in time.

 

Yes they would, especially if they’re smart. NNI is a GLP-1 company now.

 

the 1/2/3 being cut debate is pointless, as reps can be trained on products they might not carry. However I would agree that 2 reps per territory would make sense- one glp-1 and one insulin portfolio/glp-1. Sanofi is about to cut a lot of their diabetes force, lilly will do the same once oral glp-1 hits.

 

Don’t fear the reaper

 

Hiring freeze starts June 1

 

Sanofi is eliminating all diabetes field reps by June. Only specially will remainder

 

This indicates gauranteed layoffs this year. Get ready everyone. Any predictions? I am 100 percent certain the Education Program will be hit again.

 

Wrong. I spoke with a Sanofi rep today. They are making cuts to primary care but not all are gone.

 

As usual, announcement in August, cuts in October. Everyone off the books for 2020

 

Everyone off for 2020?

 

OMG, I wish I could run this company for a day. What a shit show. So easy to turn this ship around and get back to growth! Oral Sema will be the #1 diabetes drug on the planet if priced correctly w/ insurance rebates and a strong copay card to make it affordable. Prices will be raised every year after dominating market share. 50% of management should be fired immediately. Bonus plans should be re-worked to actually motivate reps...why can’t a sales rep make $200k/yr if they drive sales?! 2 reps per territory. Quit pandering to Wall Street...under promise and over deliver on EPS & sales guidance to get stock momentum again. Continue buying small companies with great products/pipelines to fuel innovation...NNI needs a leader.

 

Amazing. Who knew you were fully equipped to be a CEO, but you’re somehow toiling away in a DCS role!? In other words, STFU.

 

Jump to a DCS 1 or 3 if you get a chance

 

Actually, jump to a new company if you get a chance.
