Many of you in the Group were interested in the post last month on the Monthly All Industry Wide Request for Outplacement Services. As most of you know, that means a company has announced a downsizing and they are providing Outplacement for their employees who will be cut.

I knew something was up last Friday when MedReps offered a promotion for Recruiters to post more jobs. Yes, they emailed us about a drawing for all Recruiters who posted a job that day and we could win $200 bucks (or something like that). We had to have it posted quickly because they were having the drawing the following Monday (this week). HURRY HURRY...it's going fast!
I passed on the opportunity, I did not have a new job to post and guess…

UGH, OUCH, BOOM and finally a THUD; multiple jobs within the last 5 years with a couple of job gaps added in as well! “Yikes”, I thought to myself, “Duck and cover”!

Have you ever dealt with customers who simply don’t get it? You know the ones I’m talking about. Although you try your best by presenting your most dazzling features and benefits, they don’t respond correctly. They fail to purchase or take the next logical step along the decision path like all the others. For some reason they seem to have their own reasons and rational for buying. What are they thinking?

I have had many Pharma Reps. calling me this past week wondering if we are over the hump of the downsizings in the pharmaceutical industry. My answer is a resounding, "NO"! Another 1,700 Primary Care Novartis Representatives were waiting by their phone last week and received "the call" that was the not good call, "Sorry but after your 10 years, 15 years or more service we simply don't need you anymore"! This did not include the TOTAL number of…
