Are Pharmaceutical Sales Reps Really Needed?

The Bad News: Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent every year on cancer research. But unfortunately for those afflicted with this dreaded disease-research is largely centered upon finding new, exotic (and expensive) treatments. The last thing the health care industry as a whole wants is a cure, because if a cancer cure were known, it would collapse a 0 Billion industry.

In fact, they so dislike sharing their drug profits with other upstart generic drug makers that they've been known to delay generic drugs, and do everything in their power to keep them from being produced, come up with a new drug that isn't a new drug, just a combination of two old ones with a twist, or apply for extended patent protection.

The American Medical Assn, one of the strongest unions in the world, backed up by the huge drug industry (Big pharma news), and the insurance industry have the power and the money to "buy" enough politicians to prevent any "reasonable" health plan. Bill and Hilary Clinton found this out in his first year in office. There's so much money involved, it may be impossible to even get anything done except a "Band-Aid" on the cancer.

The method that they were going to use was an opinion poll. So they, NIH and Big Pharma, put together a survey and sent it to all the Doctors belonging to the American Medical Association (AMA). The results: 60% (6 out of 10) Doctors thought than high cholesterol was not a HEALTH danger.

Trusted leaders are open and transparent - particularly in this post-Enron world. The suspicion surrounding UK politicians currently has a lot less to do with their actual expense claims and a lot more to do with questions about why such claims should be so secretive. Openness also means being open to question. Your elevator pitch should (according to those far more expert in this) invite questions - your answers to those being a robust defense citing evidence that supports your pitch. Can you defend your elevator pitch?

The beauty of selecting a large product base niche is that you can sell multiple products to one buyer. For example, if someone has bought a weight loss medicine, that buyer can also be a potential prospect for a hair loss or quit smoking product. This helps you multiply your affiliate revenue because after buying a couple of products from you, the buyer would have gained trust in you and he would return to you for buying more similar products.

They think that even low levels of drugs and all the other contaminants can cause severe and permanent problems. There is lots of evidence to back up their claims.

So, there's no reason to be glum about the state of the equity market. As is always the case, there are still largest companies in the pharma sector some stocks that are going up when most others are going down.
