Cafe Pharmaceutical (or Cafepharma) can be a great source of news on the pharma industry for revenue reps. However, it can also be less than professional and extremely negative. Although maybe I’m understating…here’s a link to an article that calls Cafe Pharma the “cyberspace equivalent of scrawls on a men’s room wall.” (I do enjoy a nice turn of phrase.) It’s home to rumors, accusations, racism, misogyny–that’s helpful, huh? (read with sarcasm, please)
Clinical laboratory reps are already the least respected of all areas of clinical sales–behind clinical revenue, biotech revenue, medical device revenue, imaging revenue, pathology revenue, and clinical diagnostics sales. Some of it’s intrinsic to the job, but chat room ranting doesn’t help.
What do you think?
