One Ms really?

You can Spark point yourself up to 50 without any manager approval....again and again..

If you were displaced, maximize this benefit.

 

I ended up getting ZERO Spark Points in the contest!

 

Don't worry too much. I got invites out to more than 60 targets and I didn't have one attendee!!! I was bummed out at first because I felt I let the team down. But now I am feeling better!

 

I did hear that there may be another APEX type event coming down the pipe that will give us another chance to win Spark points. Cross your fingers!

 

ROTFLMAO

 

TLL's are way more important than Account Managers to the success of the sales team!

 

You moron, it is the FRM's that make or break a Sales reps success.

 

Why is it that sales can't ever be accountable for actually selling the product. Ya love your bonuses when they are coming in and blast on LinkedIn your president cup awards but then simultaneously shit on other OneNVS colleagues when your numbers aren't good. No ownership and pure narcissism in this sales team.

 

Agree! How narcissistic is it for all these sales reps to post their silly awards on LinkedIn?
It is like they need extra affirmation from mommy and daddy but they are 40 something years old. Strange!

 

Agree! Embarrassing actually.

 

When they post on LI about their awards, they're making themselves more visible to recruiters and trying to increase their status while looking for another job.

 

If you post your win we laugh at you. Then they write what a tough struggle it was. You are a stupid pharma rep nothing more. Same people that got a trophy for 8th place as kids.

 

Typical LI post bragging of their national award:

"I AM SO HONORED TO HAVE RECEIVED THIS YEAR'S (PINNACLE, PRESIDENTS, CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE) AWARD..BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT MY INCREDIBLE TEAM... BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

THIS AWARD MEANS I HAVE HELPED MORE PATIENTS ON OUR LIFE SAVING DRUG...BLAH,BLAH, BLAH

UPLOAD SCREEN SHOT OF AWARD FROM TEAMS OR ZOOM MEETING

 

HAHAHAHA. I won plenty of times and I never posted it on LinkdIn. Because nobody gives a shit you won.

 

No kidding. Whatever happened to be being humble? Not to knock the ladies, but it sure seems that most of the "I won this award!!" posts are from women. Just an observation.

 

The ladies are thirsty for attention. They are not 20 anymore so no attention for their looks.

 

Left a number of years ago and have since doubled my salary and perks. Anyway bored today so I thought I would peruse my old company board. After reading a few minutes worth I realize how glad I was that I left. Income is one thing, but it looks like the same ole circus. I especially enjoy reading about Sparky Points....sounds like they are still treating you guys like Kindergartners giving out Gold Star Stickers? I would encourage you all to look around at other opportunities. I spent 15 years here, and it took about 2 more to get the Novartis Lock Step mind games out of my head. There is greener grass my friends...

I know...go away...trust me, I will. And quickly...

 

The industry is a joke but I can play the game. I made 225K last year working 20 hours a week. Oncology is the best place to be at Novartis. I am happy.

 

There is a biological basis for the greater insecurities associated the female gender as shown in several scientific studies.

Posting of their awards in LinkedIn is simply one manifestation of that personality trait.

But guys, please don't tell this to your ladies. It will not go over well. I assure you!!!
