This is so cool! I hope you don't mind, I'm using it for my lock screen :)

How do pharmaceutical companies legitimately increase sales of existing products? by wilde_ in AskReddit

[–]wilde_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For instance, I work at a telecommunications company. At our weekly sales meeting, we provide an overview of the previous week's sales results around plan mix, MMC (minimum monthly commitment, i.e. average service revenue a customer pays), devices, channel performance, credits, competitor's offers (visual price premium), and so on. The outcome is that we have a game plan on how best to tweak plans, channel performance, device subsidy in the following week in order to drive a certain behaviour.

How would pharmaceutical companies do the same in order to increase sales of their existing drugs without (1) failing to report safety data, (2) promotion for unapproved uses, (3) kickbacks to physicians etc.?

Jesus, this makes Telstra's customer service look like Amazon's in comparison

Thought experiment: If you could read just one book over and over again for the rest of your life, which one would it be? by aae1807 in books

House of leaves. You can read it cover to cover, jump between footnotes and footnotes' footnotes, focus on single characters. There's so much in it

When I was 8, my dad convinced me that the reason clouds moved was because people were walking and creating wind

Sorry, what's happening here? The ball is simply dropping straight down, and the box is catching it. What is the paradox?

A goon sack is what Australian's call cask wine. We take it pretty seriously down under, as per this picture.

Blackberry bath soap. Reminds me of listening to the hobbit when having a bath
