What is a 1099 position, a contract rep?
1030-230 sounds exactly like my former managers schedule. He had every reason to show up late for meetings and ride alongs. Not to mention all the times he had to be home by 4 to accommodate all of his children's activities even though he had a stay at home wife. The whole company is ran on false activities to justify everyone's existence.
You sound like just another liar and cheat to me. Are you taking half the salary for half the work? I doubt it. Your little thread doesn't absolve you of your dishonesty because you have made your intentions public.
If you don't work full time and take a full time paycheck you probably believe in entitlement. Yep...handouts...and shame on you. Your mama and papa should have taught better.
If I had known what I know now about how this would have turned out I would never have gotten into pharma sales.
People have been out of thei territories for various reasons as sickness, jury duty etc. and no one even notices and the numbers remain the same. Interesting?
Merck actually tried that years ago w Propecia. Certain territories did not promote it, just relied on DTC advertising. I was surprised that it didn't work. Territories that promoted it did much better.
If you have competition you must be there like clock work. Skip a week or two and the competitors are there in packs and offering buckets of samples. Anyone thinking they can depend on DTC advertising is beyond stupid and probably very lazy.
Wow, you have a really important job! You must look at yourself longingly in the mirror.
DTC pharma ads are like an invitation for patients to run or think about who they can sue..Small print and fast talking babble is a sure way to creep out TV watchers....so a rep who thinks DTC is saving the day is probably on drugs themselves. Laughable.
I come no where close to four Merck hours per day. I'm working a 1099 position on Merck's time and using their RFM $ and company car. I've nearly matched my Merck base salary with the 1099 income after only one year!
Any guilt from me? Not a chance. Merck has screwed thousands of us over. Payback is a bite in the shorts. It's poetic justice.
FU MERCK

Thinking DTC doesn't work is laughable.
That's why some products market share is hardly affected when a territory is vacant. Yes some products do require a rep. Usually new products. Reps have an impact...its just small in the scheme of things when it comes to pharma.
DTC gets the patients thinking about whether there is a better diabetes drug, hypertension etc. Also why do you think mood stabilizing drug scripts have gone thru the roof??? All the dtc
