What do we get from Optimer?


it is more about what we hopefully wont get....have you met any of their medical liaisons? stranger than a tropical infectious disease and more arrogant than a Congressman.

I was introduced to their field medical and health economics liaisons. The former BI mistress spent lots of bucks on HEOR studies and their liaisons couldn't explain a darn thing. the MSL that covered my territory couldn't find their butt. Useless and waste of money, the lot of them.
 
Optimer rep I worked with was lazy, lied about the product and never sold a damn thing. Now we have to do damage control.

This quarter is going to suck.

Interesting, with just a few changes to your comments and the opposite could also be said from the Optimer side. The Cubist rep we worked with was lazy, and never sold a damn thing. Now you'll actually have to start making calls and working, and SELL this drug. Good luck, slackers, we'll see if you're even close to as good as your leadership says you are.....but we already know the answer to that, don't we?

The one part you got right is, "This quarter is going to suck". Sux to be you, now don't you wish you'd have worked harder to sell Dificid the first time around rather than doing "damage control"? Having some help from Cubist reps may have made a difference. It's going to be fun sitting back relaxing and watching the sales of this drug in the next year.

Yet, our drug sold and yours did not. Could it be that you were too incompetent to sell it, even with its so-called "superiority"? It doesn't even show up on my radar screen, because the now-former Optimer rep ticked off the GI and ID staff at four local hospitals and got kicked out for lying to a Pharmacy director. Really good staff you had there. I'm at over 100% goal, and your loser trollop couldn't get in the door if she tried. Sucks to be you.
 
Wow that is the problem with this partnership. Dificid was not just optimers drug it was both of ours. I think optimer paid cubist about 50 million to promote Dificid over the last two and half years. Were was the cubist rep in this 4 hospital system failure. Someone from Cubist should have been promoting Dificid at all of these accounts. This ours and your drug talk just should not happen. It is ours and ours.

Well, now you won't have Trollop or anyone else to impede you from selling Dificid. Now we'll get to see how truly wonderful you really are. I suspect you are greatly overestimating your capabilities.
 
I have to admit I was surprised how little my Cubist counterparts knew about Dificid and RX assist. Basically zero. What a waste of a collaboration and now they want to dangle a carrot to years end with a slight possibility of employment??? FU Cubist. Go it alone. We know you can't
 
Reality is this.. We can all point fingers and place blame, however until Cubist chooses to be more aggressive with contracting Dificid will continue to struggle. Pedro fucked us all from the start, and the share holders were the puppet masters.. Another point, Cubist reps made nothing from Dificid, so where was the incentive to augment Optimer's efforts? When you have a sales force whose primary focus is driving your secondary product, why would you show up? At least from the Cubist standpoint you were able to divert the blows to the face that Optimer reps endured each and every day.. Now it is your turn to stand in the ring.. Good luck to you, and careful what you wish for... With Cubicin undergoing (yet again) another price increase, you will all be extremely well received when you have the opportunity to counter with your 1-2, price justifcation sales calls... There are at least as effective (and far less expensive) options than Cubicin at the physician's disposal... That is reality...
