The challenges we are facing are going to be significant! The access coverage provided by payers is extremely limited, as our product is categorized as a lifestyle drug, competing against several more affordable alternatives. To secure even a double step coverage, we will likely need to offer substantial discounts that could prove unsustainable. Moreover, the sales forecasts that Bayer is expected to release seem overly ambitious, creating a high bar for performance. Thus, even if we achieve moderate success in the market, it may still fall short when compared to the lofty quotas set by the company.How do we sell against it
There is plenty of room in the market for two products, and that is not unlike many other classes. Bayer needs to pony up the bounty on scripts and the real salespeople will move it. If on the other hand they reward mediocrity, that is exactly what they will get.How do we sell against it
Dont worry about it! This is Astellas we're talking about. Their reputation is so bad that I would be surprised if they'll sell FOR us!How will they sell against us?
Reps are dreading our new drug. We will have REAL sleep data. If we don’t have liver enzymes they are toast!!!!! They can’t get coverage over 2 years. NO CVS CAREMARK COVERAGE!!!!!! Our market access team better capitalize on this.How will they sell against us?
What were they?Why was Lee Ellen fired from Bayer? Rumor is her entire team turned her into HR for a laundry list of reasons.
BS! Link or GTFOJust saw the liver data for Bayer in NEJM... yikes...
