Let's see if the board lasts long enough before they go bust.....this company is destined to burn out. Terrible leadership - stock is rightly going down and down......

Hired their own sales force and still can't make it - let's face it - it's not the salesforce's fault.

Sweet...another thread to bitch about Bill and Fred. By the way...did anyone hear about Ardana? Its a scottish company that just bought the rights to striant. What the fuck are they thinking? Fred's turds are an easier sell.

Reggio should know...

I heard about ardana, does that mean they own striant or does columbia still on striant

I work for CL and I must tell you that STRIANT SUCKS ASS! MD's want nothing to do with it.......There might be a few CL supporter's here but listen to the past. These people are CROOKS that do not pay out any bonus.
Good LUCK!

[/ QUOTE ] if you truly worked for CL you wouldn't have an opinion on the bonus because none of us have been here long enough to earn one yet - only the innovex reps have.......gosh does that mean that you really don't work for CL. What a surprise! Another ex-Innovex Clown with a chip on the shoulder. Get a life!

I have been on board since the begining you idiot. I left 2 weeks ago because the ship has been sinking for over a year now. How do you think they will pay out a bonus with the sales results that we are currently showing? To be honest, I would not pay the salesforce either. Our numbers are bad but the products are worse.

[/ QUOTE ] well then, say you're an innovex person and not a CL person. if you were here since the beginning, you're an innovex person. personally, i'm tired of reading how you clowns think you can speak for those of us that work for CL. take your sorry attitudes and go hop on the innovex thread. CL people are not leaving -------innovex people are leaving. all of us that work for CL have something to compare this to and that's why we're not leaving. this is a wonderful company and a wonderful group of people to work for. they've given us everything that we've asked for and treated us like gold. $750 a month plus having my gas payed for? go take a ride in your taurus. nobody forcing me to meet with my POD mates once a week? you go waste two hours every week. no BS reports to do so my manager can feel like he's in charge? i could go on and on. you don't have a clue! please don't feel like you can speak for me by misrepresenting yourself. i promise that i won't enter comments on the innovex thread. get some experience and come back and talk to me about CL after you have something to compare it to. the products are as good as anything i sold in big pharma. the difference is that it just takes more skills when you have one person in a territory versus 6-8 people. you have to work smarter and harder. we all realize that. until you have something to compare CL to, go fill sample closets. this is a wonderful company and we will all be much better off without losers like you.

Is RB from Columbia or the contract company

Anonymous · Dec 14, 2004 at 8:30 PM

RB is from CL - watch out for her - she is a real snake. Would do anything to keep her job - besides who else would hire her....she is desperate and desperate people can't be trusted......

Anonymous · Apr 8, 2005 at 11:14 AM

What was Columbia's experience using Innovex? Any strengths or weaknesses compared to other CSO's out there? Anything that's going better now that the sales force is internal? (Well of course there are some obvious loyalties and such there, with an internal versus contracted sales force) Were there particular areas of strength in using Innovex and can anyone give a perception of the CSOs currently out there (like Innovex, Ventiv, PDI, Publicis)?

Anonymous · Apr 8, 2005 at 9:15 PM

You need to look at the products you will be selling and not the CSO company. All the CSO's operate in a similar fashion. Good Luck
