POA's in some parts of the country. There is no policy, or even suggestion, by management, that everyone should test prior to coming to meeting, and get results, or to test 2-14 days after the meeting. WTF?? But, we should drive or fly to meeting, stay in a hotel, sit in a meeting room for 1-2 days, and potentially expose, or get exposed. Crazy.

Can’t make this one up. My manager thinks Covid is fake...

Document Document Document !! What's happening here with these stupid POA's will make a great opening statement for your attorney. Forced to go to a meeting with no safety protocol,no testing, in close quarters with other reps is beyond stupid. This company just can't get out of it's own way. Don't put your family and relatives at risk as we all know airplanes and meetings are petri dishes of bacteria. Even in the best of times how many times did you see someone sick after a meeting pre Covid??Don't expect Esperion to do the right thing . What a mess this has been.
 








Manager isn't sharp and going back to when we came inches of going to Arizonia for a launch meeting in the heart of pandemic told me this was the wrong place. Saw a great deal of boasting from teammates on what they could accomplish and how they were the James Bond of their territories with the charm and relationships to kill for. Boasting on conference calls and months later the big talkers numbers were non- existent. Nobody could respond to objections from doctors and just didn't have relationships they said they did and they didn't call in some favors. No reason some of your iron clad relationships couldn't write BA for somebody at 110-130 who wasn't responding to statin. You would rather have a patient at 90 than 130. It was very clear there was no objection handling messaging and yes those could've been tweaked in POA's or a launch meeting. The blame there goes on managers who fumbled around week after week. I blame them for their incompetence and not telling management the strategy wasn't working. Spearheading with PC was stupid as you need to start with Specialists and then get trickle down. PC docs won't wipe their asses unless a Specialists does it first. Always been this way. Every manager should be shown the door and half the board given their walking papers. You have to make an impact in first 4-5 months of a launch or the drug will not make the money it's supposed to. The days of waiting 2 years for the market to grow are long gone. Look what happen with PCSK9. Amazing efficacy but cumbersome approval process only allowing 30 % of scripts filled and doing 180 million a year can't sustain sales team. Look at sales for 2nd quarter with BA. Not good. I hope this answers your question as you daily keep asking about having clinical discussions. Nobody was having them with docs except a minority of reps. Look at the leaderboard and who's in top 5% is doing this even though those numbers are weak. Good Bye Esperion.

My manager is distancing. We will wear masks. How is sitting in a room with our team more risk than walking into 20 offices each week?

How stupid can you be? No wonder you can't sell .Have you never been to a meeting before?? Have you never seen how close you get to people at meetings. Your manager is a dummy. Just keep it up. I'm sure your team will really turn things around for BA.

Yes, I have asked for discussions and this is an excellent explanation. Thx.

WHY did you ever think that another product in an already overcrowded market for high cholesterol would be a good gig? Why would anyone think a company that was interviewing and using some kind of "scientific process" to pick new-hires would really be a good place to work? LOL This company has been a bs company from the very beginning. Unless you just needed a job (which is understandable) why would you ever want to work at Esperion? I will say this though... Amgen will probably have lay-offs soon since they won't be launching their new HF drug so there will be less competition for you maybe.
 


Only desperate people took this job back in Jan and Feb. Its been an ongoing cluster ever since. Totally crowded market with a below average drug equals disaster that were seeing.

Don’t fear it and don’t let it control your life.
I think this is a pretty good way to approach things at this point. The POA will be productive I think it will really help consolidate our direction and give an opportunity to share best practices and reestablish our goals. We’re going in with some momentum, which is great but really to get the next level for the remainder of this year I think we need a mental reset. Personally I’m looking forward to the meeting, it’s super important, perhaps the most important POA ever.
