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.
