<p>[QUOTE="The Challenger, post: 6352830"]First of all, we, as an industry have SPOILED office staff to the extent that they have feelings of entitlement. Secondly, I say this as a European, most Americans have terrible manners! Sorry to say that. And doctors and their staff are no exception! Thirdly, offices don’t need us. What value do we bring anymore after the 3rd or 4th call? Forget new studies, or new insights. We are here to change prescribing habits, not to teach medicine, not help the doctor practice better medicine. If you are here for other reasons, than I must say you will be disappointed. How else can you explain that some territories have 4 representatives with the same drugs? </p><p><br /></p><p>Our reputation as drug reps is well known. Let’s face it, for what we do, we are horribly overpaid! Go into any other industry, and your life will be a lot harder. Add to that the daily lying we have to do to cover our asses ( 8 calls plus call notes ) all fake of course, and it’s easy to see why nobody respects us. Lastly, add the gorgeous female drug reps; every male doctor knows why companies hire them, and then you understand why we are treated the way we are. It is about the almighty Dollar, Call frequency and Reach. Your DM usually gets 10 foot erection when all 3are in sync.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you are a drug rep, you are a prostitute, and I do not place any judgement on prostitutes. They provide a service, and they get paid. So do we. We just provide a different service. There is no difference whether you sell your body or a drug! It is just that Americans have been conditioned to look down on prostitutes, even though some of them are very nice and caring. </p><p><br /></p><p>This job was fun 30 years ago, we sold from a proof source binder, today you either have a glossy salesaid or a short video on your iPad that nobody wants to see when the doctor is glad to get rid of you after he has signed for samples....</p><p><br /></p><p>And there was a time, when DMs were DMs! They stood up for their reps. Today, these spineless creatures cave in when they get heat from the RD. They will through good reps under the bus to save their own skin. Have seen it over and over again in my career. Let’s face it, any 2 year old with Down syndrome will have good numbers when you have access to clinics plus formulary access. Take those two factors away and the rep is toast. Sooner or later he will either resign or get fired, only for the cycle to be repeated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
