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. This was once a great forum, But the last couple weeks,couple hours makes me want to run away as fast as I can.Sounding like YMB everyday.Im taking a sabbatical. 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! Bio, You've kinda been in a foul mood about MNKD for quite some time. A long sabbatical might be healthy. Come back when the MNKD share price makes a new high. See you soon. Trend

I think the most amazing part of zieg's report - BTW, thanks zieg - was the impact Al Mann had on a conference hall full of Sanofi sales reps.
I respect bio's point of view, which I usually interpret to be that we shouldn't get too excited before the facts are known.
However, if Al Mann can get Sanofi reps that excited, it tells me that the rest of the industry may be getting exciting once they know what Al knew the first time he laid eyes on Afrezza's PK/PD profile. He talked about this in an interview once and Al Mann believes Afrezza is destined to become one of the best selling drugs of all time.
It sounds like the Sanofi reps believe Al Mann's story. I have believed him for a long time. I'm not optimistic because of this or that nugget of information that one of us digs up and posts somewhere on some message board from time to time. I'm optimistic, not because of what I already know about Afrezza.
I am optimistic because I know that, for the first time, the rest of the medical community is finally being brought up to speed about Afrezza. All of the facts.
I'm thinking these sales reps have good reason to feel excited. And so do investors.

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. Hi Zieg, Sounds kind of familiar no? Is someone copying your info or are you Phaeton? investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=110896501Phaeton Sunday, 02/15/15 07:25:17 PM Re: None Post # of 8408 A personal friend of mine had contact with a a Sanofi rep.

JPG with Zieg's knowledge I cross posted on another board. The comments are attributable to him.

Correct, I'm not on that board, but KC is a friend of mine and I gave him permission.

Biotec, to a certain degree I agree with you that the board dynamics are changing, but change is often good... I know who to discount and how much when I read certain posts, for example I don't even open most posts when I am on YMB b/c I know the inane from the articluate by their user names. I am not a fan of the pumpers who offer no factual substance or rational for their often outlandish statements such as one sees on YMB more often than not, along with all of the name calling and other inane dialogue, none of which we have on this board as it tends to be mostly civil.
And the core people on this board pretty much know each other and their positions on Mannkind. So I would beg to make a distinction between and irrational pumper or just inane poster whose agenda is very hard to understand... from most of the posters on this board who may share their thoughts about their optimism for the future of Mannkind and Afrezza now that we finally have the long awaited launch and the clock is actually ticking... The first 12 months will be very telling for us all and I for one think we will have much to celebrate...

Bio,
If you look at my Dec. 24 post, you will see that I noted that the technical indicators had turned bullish. My bullish optimism was also noted in subsequent posts along with my logic. My optimism has been born out in reality. I don't know if this makes me an over the top pumper, but a lot of my money is on the line and when I'm optimistic I don't mind sharing my opinion on this board.
I'm not sure what your holdings of MNKD are, but reading your posts always leaves me with a feeling that the "glass is half empty". Much of the time you are wrong e.g., just take a look at your Jan. 23 post re the launch not going to effect the PPS.
If you go on a sabbatical, please take Matt Pheiffer with you. Just kidding!!
