Let's say your management team has already “scripted success.” They know with 100% certainty that if reps will follow a given sales or service script, they'll double their results.

Why is

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

it then, after being introduced to that winning script, most reps won't agreeably or enthusiastically use it?

There isn’t a single answer, but here are 5 reasons I've come up with as a mana

; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

Examples of combination products may in

(1) Immature people in business misunderstand money making routines.

They treat business as if it is a liberal arts essa

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

lessly to discover and to codify a routine so they don’t have to use trial and error each time they want to earn a paycheck. All they have to do is punch in, do the job the official way, and

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

then punch out, and they’ll be able to pay their bills.

(2) It takes effort and stamina and what my drama teacher in high school referred to as “performance discipline” to put on a show an

Outside of the military, the martial arts, a rigorous athletic program, or perhaps strict musical training, most people haven’t learn

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

(3) The lines have blurred beyond recognition in distinguishing work from play.

Countless gurus and huc

ksters coming out of the “Age of Aquarius” have touted fun and games as being the way to unleash human potential. Work should always be fun, they insist, otherwise something is wrong. If it’

(4) Managers are soft on enforcement.

I’ve known a mere handful of

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

usiness owners and managers that have had the grit to MAKE PEOPLE STICK TO THEIR SCRIPTS, WORD FOR WORD. Most managers seem to want love and acceptance more than business results. A very fam

Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

What would be the developing cost?

(5) Nobody wants to

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

tart at the bottom.

Following directions, including those that are encoded into sales and service scripts, is something that the lowest of the low are required to do, or so many of today’s

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

workers believe. Why have American phone jobs been outsourced to places like India and the Philippines and to Latin America? It’s not just a matter of a different standard of living. Recruit

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

ment and retention of a phone force in America is an incredibly arduous, Sisyphean task. Our workers see themselves as “too good” to be on the phones, unless, of course they can feel more PR

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

FESSIONAL about it, which they equate with choosing their own methods, or non-methods, if you will.

Just as there is no single reason for non-compliance with scripts, the solution isn’t a s

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

olitary one, either.

We have to address all of the issues above, and be especially creative and precise in our compensation schemes, as well.
