Carl Vogel is proud to have “carried the bag for 55 years”.  Starting out in 1950 with Lakeside Laboratories in sales, he moved on to become a District Manager with Lakeside for 16 years.  Merrell-Dow purchased Lakeside, and Vogel worked for Merrell-Dow until he retired eleven years ago.  Two months after retiring, he went back to work with GlaxoSmithKline and retired again just this year.
 
“Fifty golden years of service to our industry is an incredible record, one we are unlikely to see paralleled in the future. Carl has enriched many lives over the past 5 decades and I’m just one who considers it both an honor and privilege to have worked with him and call him a true friend,” said Tom Markey, Vice President, Medical Marketing and Sales, SmithKline Beecham in a congratulatory letter to Vogel.
 
During his career in pharmaceuticals, Vogel was chosen “Drug Representative of the Month” for June, 2002 by one of his physicians Alan Pearlman, M.D., P.A. The decision was based on his “outstanding job detailing his products…as well as by showing an outstanding understanding of our patients and their often multiple complex disease processes,” wrote Allen Pearlman, M.D., P.A. in his recognition letter to Vogel.
 
Vogel considers the CMR Certification to be one of his greatest accomplishments, and feels that all pharmaceutical companies should urge their representatives to enroll in the program.
 
CMR Institute congratulates Carl Vogel on a lifetime of accomplishments and successes in his pharmaceutical career.
