Why Compound Pharmacies and Pharmaceutical Companies Should Reconsider Traditional Staffing Models for Reps

For compound pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies, building a sales force has historically meant relying on traditional staffing companies. However, this approach is expensive and inefficient, often involving significant costs like staffing fees, salaries, commissions, allowances, and benefits. As the pharmaceutical industry evolves, many companies are finding that a pay-per-production model—like the one offered by WeRepRx—is a smarter, more cost-effective alternative. Here’s why traditional staffing models are outdated and why the pay-per-production approach is the future.

The Downsides of Traditional Staffing

Traditional staffing models come with a variety of hidden costs that can quickly add up:

1. High Staffing Fees

Staffing companies often charge steep recruitment fees, typically based on a percentage of the hired rep’s annual salary. This upfront cost is a significant investment, with some companies paying 20-30% of the rep’s salary in staffing fees alone.

2. Salaries and Commissions

Once hired, these reps expect base salaries—often among the highest in sales industries—along with commissions tied to their performance. For pharmaceutical companies, this creates a financial burden, especially if the reps aren’t performing at the expected level.

3. Payroll, Insurance, and Benefits

In addition to salaries, compound pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies are responsible for providing health insurance, retirement contributions, paid time off, and other benefits. Moreover, payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, and worker’s compensation further inflate the costs of employing traditional sales reps.

4. Administrative Burden

Managing W-2 employees means dealing with payroll administration, compliance issues, and HR-related tasks. These costs aren’t just financial—they also require valuable time and resources that could be spent growing the business.

WeRepRx: The Pay-Per-Production Solution

At WeRepRx, we offer an innovative and highly efficient solution to the challenges of staffing pharmaceutical sales representatives. Our pay-per-production model eliminates the need for compound pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies to carry the financial burdens of traditional staffing models, offering a flexible, results-driven approach that aligns with your business goals.

1. No Staffing Fees

With WeRepRx, you avoid hefty recruitment fees and the overhead associated with staffing companies. Our pharmaceutical reps are compensated based on their performance, meaning you only pay for the results they deliver.

2. No Fixed Salaries

Unlike traditional staffing, where you’re responsible for paying salaries regardless of performance, our model ensures that reps are paid based on the accounts they land and the revenue they generate. This keeps costs low and ensures that you’re only paying for productive work.

3. No Insurance or Benefits Costs

Since WeRepRx reps operate as independent contractors, you’re no longer responsible for providing insurance, retirement contributions, or other employee benefits. This significantly reduces your overall expenses while maintaining a high-performing sales force.

4. Reduced Administrative Burden

WeRepRx reps are independent, which means you don’t have to deal with payroll taxes, compliance issues, or HR tasks. We handle the administrative side of things, allowing you to focus on growing your business and serving your clients.

5. Pay for Results, Not Potential

At WeRepRx, we prioritize efficiency and results. With our pay-per-production model, your sales force is fully motivated to perform because their income is directly tied to their success. This ensures a higher return on investment (ROI) and prevents wasted resources on underperforming reps.
