TeleNav Tracking Clinical Sales Reps

Blackberry, clinical, sales, job, recruiter, pharma, TeleNav

If you were a fly on the wall in my office, you’d have overheard this in a recent conversation with a candidate:

Candidate says:

I’m curious — I heard more companies were using the TeleNav tracking system in the Blackberrys that the reps carry. Are you hearing this, too? My company DOES track us using TeleNav and also through our mileage reporting systems they have in place. I know a few of the reps before me got fired because they were visiting the mall quite often which amazes me considering they were said their Blackberry’s have TeleNav.

 I say: What?

TeleNav is a GPS navigator utilized on your cell phone and/or Blackberry.  For a pharma sales person out in the field, it’s an enormously worthwhile tool in finding your way to hospitals, laboratories, doctor’s offices, and all the many places you go in healthcare revenue, medical laboratory sales, medical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, hospital equipment sales, medical device sales, imaging sales, lab sales, biotechnology sales, or DNA products revenue. 

However, if you go to the mall for the afternoon, it could tell on you. 

Do you’ve any stories like this?
