I started a new sub-board for a tabulation and commentary on the script counts. It's at the top on the "All About MNKD" board. When I get a chance, I will create a table which will be able to be edited by staff and pinned to the top of this sub-board. Once a week we will edit the table. Everyone can create threads and posts within the sub-board.

This is a great idea, liane. I did not know that it was possible to see a weekly tally of scripts. From where would the information be coming? Can the source of the info be noted with each tally?
Thanks.

I'm relying on everyone here to find the info wherever - just like today. I'll then create a spreadsheet that will be pinned and locked at the top. Any commentary posts can be made to the threads below.

Harshal seems to have a source - Thank You!!!
The table is started for IMS data. Please let me know what else you might like to see (as long as it doesn't involve anything beyond calculus). Any of the staff can edit it if new data is provided.

Fellow MNKD fans. Through a mutual friend, I spoke to a SNY rep who is handling the launch for his territory in Southern Ill. His only drug is Afrezza that is currently his focus. He's been with the company 10 years and has never seen this type of excitement from either his co-workers or his docs. The launch is a slow launch so they can first get the word out to the docs (prior to any paid for press or adv from SNY). He said a marketing plan would come in March. He's concerned he may not be able to hit all his doc's prior to public awareness campaign (only because he has to cover so much territory). He did say that going into 2015, the sales force at SNY was in the dumps mentally (as they've been beaten by previous management), until they got to Vegas and Al took the stage. He wowed all 1500 to 2k people in the room. Some he left in tears due to how he connected to the thematics of real life experience. The most interesting thing he said was that for the first time ever..... He gets paid per script!!! Yes, it's a slow launch, but he is excited at the opportunity to double his previous year's income.

Did you get any hint of sales goals? How many scripts is one rep expected to bring in for the first month, quarter, or ? |

Geez, Afrezza's his only drug, he gets paid per script and he expects launch to be slow? We'd best start a relief fund for Sanofi reps similarly situated! I wonder what kind of base pay these reps get. |

Yes some of you are happy about that.Get real people, MNKD is not going to pop 1200% overnight!A shit load of dreamers out there!Stick to the facts! Biotec, most of the facts that are available to know, are already known - the big facts about how we're going to sell, well, those are just not facts yet, so conjecture naturally follows. And I don't see the core group (of which you're a part) get much more dreamy than before. Perhaps some of the newer posters are a bit "out there," but who cares, you can glaze over those posts/posters, and read just the really meaty posts (like mine, for example  ). Completely over the top guys like Spiro and mannmade used to annoy me, too, but I just disregard what they say from a substantive perspective and just enjoy their literary styles. To me, this board has always been about entertainment more than anything else, but I've learned a heck of a lot from many here. I have only small slices of expertise when it comes to MNKD, but I'd hate to keep my postings just to those items. I hope you can eventually embrace what all is happening here, cuz until we see Afrezza in trouble, this type of optimistic posting will continue - for a long time, it burned me like holy water on a vampire, but now, I'm okay with it! |

Dream boat and others,
This was the first time I spoke to the SNY rep (who was a mutual friend of mine from high school). I wasn't trying to give him the third degree as I'm trying to build a relationship so he trusts me w/any info he shares.
He said that the goals for the reps differ per district based on population, docs, rural vs city etc. But, the most important thing I found out was that the reps were excited! This was a 180 from how they ended the year. Their former management beat them down pretty hard 3rd and 4th qt since numbers were down (which may have been part of the reason for the shakeup in upper management at SNY).
He did say that when he presented to his docs, he had about an 80% success rate verbally as to the course of action the doctors would take. The delays in scripts being written were based on docs who don't have a Spirometer/gage (sorry for spelling) having to send to facility and then await results to send back to doctors office etc. Nothing to worry from the way I see it.
With regards to being paid per script, in past launches SNY didn't measure or compensate with this formula.
He also mentioned, the marketing dept at SNY handling the Afrezza launch was VERY on top of the communications with the reps. This I found pleasantly surprising based on the fact that often people would say MNKD kept us in the dark. He said they ask weekly what tools are needed to help in their endeavors. They SNY reps currently have a limited amount of leave behind materials as they are waiting for certain marketing materials to be approved by FDA.
He said that based on his historical data having done launches before, this was a very quick and aggressive turnaround from the time it was announced they would be receiving the rights to promote it and the actual launch date. He said it was truly amazing!!
Also, he was unaware of the level of "neurotic" investment pages dedicated to MNKD and Afrezza's launch. Yes I too consider myself a neurotic investor clamoring for any bit of knowledge that might give us hope or the competitive edge.
Not trying to blow smoke or pump. Just sharing what I discussed. GLTA
