Is it really going to happen the end of this week? Is it true? CMMs knocked off their throne?

go away ass wipe! I am a BSS and have been here awhile and will be upset over anyone that may be displaced. Yes I hope my position is safe but who really knows the truth anyway? Not one single person is safe. Medi will slowly eliminate the entire sales force. This is probably just the first wave of what is to come. Have compassion for the ones that take a hit this time as YOU will probably be next and YOU probably deserve it more than the great people that will get cut!

Cheers, Mate! I'm off to Australia. Forget about slowly eliminating the sales force, how about a quick slash and burn?
 
You are truly heartless. I know, it's simply a business decision. Right? Here's a business decision: funnel money into R&D and develop something new instead of driving the company into the ground and continuing to siphon the money off to the executives. Some of us like and respect our CMMs. Some of them are probably worthless.

CMM role has outlived its usefulness. They don't even touch FM stuff either, but sit back and get a nice MBO payday from bss's doing all the field work. Sales reps shold have their own goals, not mbs's and bss overrides. Any BSS can do a NICU inservice and work with discharge planners or local distributor. In fact, the bss has a better handle on that stuff anyway because they are workign with the community peds. The only tradeoff is that the bss no longer goes to the smaller offices directly.

We'll learn everyone's fates in a few weeks. Good luck to all.

You all have lived out your usefulness if AZ looks at the shrinking market of Synagis and never making a FluMist goal in some time.

Blame the FM goal shortfalls on ZS Associates. They are clueless abuot the actual market that we sell into, and the bozos in marketing listen to them. and the fair share marketing angle is just so much whining.
 
If you are not in state with considerable population and you are a CMM, I'd get your resume ready. Basically, if your state flies a Confederate Flag, or has fewer than 2 Congressman you're hosed.

It will be fun to see which CMM from Chicago will go.

I guess you got your answer. All of them!

I have had very mixed feelings all week that have ranged from calm elation to anger and I am sad for my colleagues who may not be feeling too good right now. When you sit back and really think about what happened, most of us who are remaining have just had our workload doubled without any increased compensation. That is interesting. I am not sure yet just how I am going to manage all of that. I do think it's possible but some aspects will definitely suffer. I see Synagis continuing to decline in sales and FluMist will always be a pain in the ass.

I dont see how mgt can say with a straight face that its from a position of financial strength, because whacking the entire cmm group provides even more financial strength. New FRM jobs aside, but if so strong financially, how can they not offer increase in base pay for the new load of hosp responsibilities ?. What hospital market-reference points can they use for reviews ? I'm sorry to see our colleagues go. I really am. Modify the job yes, but jus tgive it outtright to already overburdened bss's is just irrational. Shout out to another stellar job by ZS associates though! Not.
 
BSS's must be smart because they always say they are on this site. So, think back to when your job was created. You were supposed to sell the physician 50% of the time and work on logistics 50% of the time. In case you have not read the email, the logistics part of your job is gone. You will not be doing that piece anymore. The FRMs will. If you're like some BSS's who seldom sell clinically, you will have even more free time on your hands to relearn how to sell to a physician. So, there is no need to pay you more because the job function some of you were spending most of your time doing is something you won't be doing at all anymore. If I were you, I would brush up on your selling skills because that is your job now and how well you do it is how you will be measured. If you're not very good at it, you had better hope your manager is and can coach you. Otherwise, there are plenty of other pharmaceutical reps out there to replace you.

Amen to that. How many times will a physician practice allow a BSS to clinically sell an old drug? BSS's will have even more time on their hands.
 
BAAAAHHHH HA HA!!!! It's about time! You people have milked the system long enough. There is not a CMM out there that works more than 20 hours a week. Most of you probably work less than that. You failed at getting FM into hospitals, you failed at developing your KOL's to fight back on the COID, you all SUCK and now you're gone. Good riddance.
