Ok seroiusly, to all the rumor starters........PLEASE STOP STARTING THESE BULLSHIT RUMORS!!!!! I am sick of hearing: Yes, layoffs, yes Novaquest gone, CSS dissolved, less managers, bigger territories. You same people ahve been saying these same things for 6 months. just stop!!!!!

Will someone tell Duffy and Schilling to just leave us a message addressing this!! Ugh.
 








I know, I am sick of all the rumors too! Just tell us already - I know a lot of stuff on here is just BS, but SURELY there is someone out there that knows something?? Will we get a voicecom on Sunday night at 8:30 telling us to "work from home" on Monday?
 


If there weren't going to be layoffs someone on that call would have said something like "I know everyone is concerned but there is no immediate plan to reorganize at this time" It would have been addressed. The whole "we will address concerns as they arise (paraphrasing).." bullshit was as close as they were going to get to the L word. All we can do is wait, interview, move on, whatever you think is best for you at this point.

So, then, do expound (<==big word) on the difference between using an ipad (digital sales aid) vs your current detail pieces; i.e. why you will not be able to "make a point with the piece (digital) and then continue the conversation with out it"

You can't be that hard-headed and NOT be a DM. Talk to the folks in the I-Pad pilot program about the "wonders" of e-detailing. They and reps from other companies who already utilize the new technology are concerned about ending up with company-mandated requirements re which pages of the sales aid MUST be used during a detail. We are already expected to spit out marketing phrases rather than think, and this may make it worse if it becomes about the device and not the relationship. Yes, the I-Pad will allow the company to update sales aids quickly and cheaply, but it's the rep who sells the product, not the multi-color sales piece or flashy electronic gizmo. Professionals use the sales aids to reinforce a point, not dazzle the doctor with a few graphs and highlights, and specialists will laugh in your face if you rely on marketing pieces.

If the gizmo becomes the star, then Abbott doesn't need us any more than AZ needed Nexium reps once offices could go online to order samples and get information.

Well put. Talk to your local AZ reps and ask them what they think about the IPAD. Enough said.
