Sold, marketed, and promoted Duet DHA, Duet DHA EC, Hycet, Oramorph SR, and Urimax. Duet DHA, Urimax, and Hycet were launched prior to my hire, but I participated in the launching of 7 new product variations of Duet DHA and Duet DHA EC, and launched Oramorph SR. I was solely responsible for my geographic territories and due to my success and training that I received, had my territory split and changed 3 times in New England and was transferred out to open all of Washington and Oregon for Xanodyne. In each of these territories I converted low performing territories to national leading territories or created from scratch new territories into national leading territories. When Xanodyne downsized its sales force I was ranked #2 sales rep in the nation. I was also invited and completed Xanodyne's first Management Training program and was in line for a sales management position. Show less
