3rd Place = Bronze Medal

PharmSim is finaly over after weeks of individual and team play. The final result....Our team finished 3rd! After being in the bottom about midway through the simulation our team was able to battle back and "medal" if you will. We are all very excited about this. Would we have liked to do better, of course, but third is not a bad finish. We also had one of our best periods after the final advance. Our stock went from being the $30's to being the $50's. It was a huge jump. We seemed to do well everywhere else too. We had to deal with an issue of a sales person complaining about how their terriotry was to big and that is why they were doing so poorly verse another sales rep who had a smaller area but was out preforming the first sales rep. We didn't want the second sales rep's hard work and beneficial relationships with their terriorty to be hurt. So we decided to keep the rep's areas as they were. Well the rep that complained ended up quitting. Out group felt bad for a second, but guess what if this was a real person, and they quite everything a complaint wasn't resolved to their statisfaction then they would have a hard time maintaining a job. I do wish we had had a fourth option where we gave the complaining sales rep an assistant or spilt her territory so that a completely new rep was introduced to help her. However, this was not a solution. Wanted to share the good news of 3rd place. Go Team 1!
