Me too. Opening up your mouth is deadly at this stage of the game. All you end up doing is sounding stupid.The boredom in talking about our psych drugs is beyond belief! We offer absolutely nothing over the competition. All I do is ask if they need any samples and that's it.
Very well said!Me too. Opening up your mouth is deadly at this stage of the game. All you end up doing is sounding stupid.
The reason we get so much is not because we create any health benefit to patients or economic value.
We get paid so much because every day we feel useless, bored, worthless, and have a very questionable purpose.
How do you even deliver Starbucks to the thousands of mental health practitioners that are practicing tele-med from their home? My "honest" call average is about 1 practitioner a day, and the conversation starts and ends when s/he asks: "Do you need a quick signature?"Anybody who stayed here for the last few years is treading water. You don't acquire any new skills or new experiences. Even thought the money is good, for your career it is horrible. Delivering Starbucks and samples is hardly worthwhile writing down on a resume.

It'a a professional way of saying: "Please leave as soon as possible."
Makes you feel really good.
...and some days you leave at noon and come home at noonThis describes 99% of my calls. It’s just the way things are these days. Some days I am home at noon. Some days I don’t leave until noon.
When you really think about it....Since NOBODY HERE REALLY works, or at least makes a contribution to work, patients are subsidising us, with Otsuka transferring the money into our bank accounts.This describes 99% of my calls.

Latuda and Vraylar are better drugs; what's the point being out there? They have the better drugs.
More indications, better AE profiles, I have no materials to combat that. I just frustrate myself.
Don't need that in my life. COVID-19 is enough.
My contribution to work: Good, high quality call notes:When you really think about it....Since NOBODY HERE REALLY works, or at least makes a contribution to work, patients are subsidising us, with Otsuka transferring the money into our bank accounts.
Unfortunately, these are the people that can least afford it.
Does anyone at Otsuka feel guilty?
Naaaahhhh...
As a professional female rep, I resent being referred to as ho...r or wh..re. There isn’t even a comparison.Just wondering, do any of the ladies here have any side gigs, i.e. walking the streets, "escort services" since you are not working anyways?
I don't think your attitude of superiority is justified. Any Wh.re of Ho..er is more important and valuable to society than a drug rep. Have you ever thought about the fact that there would be a lot more rapes if these women were not present? These women provide a valuable service. Every society needs them. It's the oldest profession in the world and will be around for as long as mankind exists. Nevada is way ahead of America by allowing them to work. You, on the other hand, peddle a little pill, for $1300 a month, that nobody needs because we have better pills, which, unlike Rexulti, do not cause weight gain, akathisia, TD, and increased glucose levels in order to make patients feel a little better. And, you feel you superior.As a professional female rep, I resent being referred to as ho...r or wh..re. There isn’t even a comparison.
HAHAHAHAHA....love it!!!! So true!!!I don't think your attitude of superiority is justified. Any Wh.re of Ho..er is more important and valuable to society than a drug rep.

But, the two of you have a lot in common:
Both of you have either a pimp or a DM, (basically the same thing)
You rarely get out of bed before 10 AM
You really have no skill, other than opening your mouth and use your hands,
At the end of the day your knees hurt, yours from standing at the sample closet, hers from rug burn
You wait endlessly for customers, only to spend a few minutes with them.
You spend hours putting on make-up and getting dressed.
The moment you enter a building, everyone knows why you are here.
You don't need a special education, what you do comes naturally to you
Good looks, a nice rack and great legs are definitely helpful.
I would like to hear from anyone who is actually working!
How many providers did you REALLY talk to this week?
How many fake calls did you enter?
What did you talk about?
How long were your presentation on average?
