Hi all - I have been following this board for a while and have been long for longer than I would like to admit. I wanted to ask if anyone was aware that this coming week there is a Mannkind Annual Sales Meeting happening in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay? Any thoughts? Both Matt and Mike will be in attendance.
This is revealing. Remember two years ago when we had stockholder "spies" try to sneak into the Sanofi launch meeting? Now we are so demoralized, no one really bothers anymore. Squandered goodwill. Dashed hopes. Third time's a charm.

What I thought was revealing is this year it isn't a secret. They are sharing it with us and posting pic's.

If they are in training this week, is it too optimistic to hope that they will hit the ground running on Monday?
From my estimates, we need sales to get to roughly 10x's what they are now to get to break even (based on the weekly sales $ and the cash burn that has been reported). The sooner we see that gap close, the sooner the stock price starts to go up.

I just hope this group leaves understanding afrezza is nothing like the RAAs and if used properly can mimic the pancreas and stop and potentially reverse diabetes for T2s.

Due to the screw job MNKD received from the FDA a little consideration should be given - IMO

You have to be creative to survive. I can't imagine the new sales force isn't hungry as most of them were likely let go due to cut backs at their previous positions so now they have something to prove aka a little chip on their shoulders. I'm not suggesting they be dishonest. Just saying that a one on one conversation "might" include what they are not technically "supposed" to say based on the FDA.

Yes, and just knowing it themselves helps project ( We have the best product! )

They are selling a highly regulated product so the creative scope is rather more limited.

They are selling a highly regulated product so the creative scope is rather more limited. In some cases they don't have to say anything at all but reference some real world examples such as Dr. Edelman's video plus other testimonials. I'm not in medical sales nor sales for that matter but realize there is a lot of grey area in everything or ways around what is perceived as right or wrong without being necessarily wrong or doing the wrong thing. I don't know the what you can and what you can't do in regards to their particular roles. All i am suggesting is there are many ways/angles to achieve a goal without necessarily breaking any rules.
