So sick of lying for Elanco to my accounts about diversion! I did not sign up for this! My so called colleagues are cultivating diverters and then bragging about their supposed skills to close the promotions. The promo rebates for our accounts and their clients are slow pay, no pay! There is so much wrong here and the fox is guarding the henhouse! The dm is allocating extra samples to the reps with the big diverters? WTF! Then he takes credit for being the one to close the deals because we did it his way, like when he was a rep! Everybody talks chit about everyone on the "team" and the culture is intertwined with rhetoric from the abundant amount of ladder climbers who trip up the ankles of everone! What a chitshow Elanco has become! If I had known this was the accepted culture, I would have stayed at my other job! So much for my new dream job!

Is the diversion crap and culture in the East as bad as the West?

Welcome to the new Elanartis where buck stops at online pharmacies. As new products like nexgard and bravecto go viral and simparica is given away for free we can count on downsizing by q4. This situation is dire so diversion keeps the money flowing. Ya the truth hurts. East is the same. Your new dream job is going to give you nightmares. Good luck.

No big surpise about the diversion, but interesting hearing it from a cry baby. Get with the program and go get some. The consensus behind the scenes is that the 2 male DMs out West are way over their heads and have no idea how to manage people. Their true colors will eventually show through once senior management starts to turn the screws for poor performance... "Boom!"

Ladies! Get a grip! Diversion will always be an important tool for all veterinary manufacturers, even Elanco! T&T is a nice white lie that keeps vets on our side, and we will continue to add more of the small time diverters to the DNS list as we catch them. But we will have to continue to allow the high volume diverters to operate like legitimate channel partners in order to maintain our goal achievement, especially during a time when competition is killing us! Don't blame the DMs! They march to the same drum as all of us!
 


The great black hope will save us all. He is back from Europe and will lead this company back to profit and culture. He is so amazing, I heard he walked on water one time at a meeting. He also turned water into wine at a dinner meeting.
 


Psychology...

Diversion...don’t you think veterinarians would rather see “their products” sold at Costco than online pharmacys? Phenobarb anyone?


Trifexis....one stop shop... 2021 Walmart will have it’s own.

Cry me a river....

Yes. But tell us something we don't know.

Sheeeiit! Glass of wine in one hand and a can of WTF in the other, after a long day defending our vomiting drug that would NEVER cause seizures...? Well, not always. I am tired of lying for them too and will redeem my soul again as soon as I can get my bonus for my biiiggaaaasss sale approved by my DM. He is so genuine. And honest too. Froto? Luv that!
 


As long as the vets are convinced "it's NIMBY" then no worries. Throw them a box of doughnuts and a few samples now n then. Then go cash your check from the Dark Side and get on with life. Nothing anyone really Is going to do about it anyways.
