TeleNav Tracking Medical Sales Reps

Blackberry, medical, revenue, job, recruiter, medical, TeleNav

If you were a fly on the wall in my office, you’d have overheard this in a recent conversation with a candidate:

Candidate says:

I’m curious — I heard more companies were using the TeleNav tracking system in the Blackberrys that the reps carry. Are you hearing this, too? My company DOES track us using TeleNav and also through our mileage reporting systems they have in place. I know a few of the reps before me got fired because they were visiting the mall quite often which amazes me considering they were said their Blackberry’s have TeleNav.

 I say: What?

TeleNav is a GPS navigator utilized on your cell phone and/or Blackberry.  For a pharmaceutical sales person out in the field, it’s an enormously precious tool in finding your way to hospitals, laboratories, doctor’s offices, and all the many places you go in healthcare sales, clinical laboratory revenue, clinical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, hospital equipment revenue, medical device sales, imaging sales, laboratory revenue, biotechnology sales, or DNA products sales. 

However, if you go to the mall for the afternoon, it could tell on you. 

Do you’ve any stories like this?
