SELLINGSKILLS

* Inspect what you expect across the sales cycle. Perform
a regular review of what is being monitored. Determine
if specific behavioral expectations for business planning,
sales messaging, healthcare professional interactions and
follow-up activities have been set. Monitoring can help
position and reinforce behavioral expectations when
examples are provided that include what can and cannot
be done across the sales cycle.
* Monitor data and behavior. Other sources of data that
provide information on customer interaction should be
monitored regularly, i.e., call notes, requests for
information and interaction with physician-owned
distributorships (for anti-kickback violations). ese
data sources are increasingly used by the government
during investigations and provide a more complete
picture of field activities.
* Broaden the focus of monitoring to benefit
the business. Going above and beyond
the focus on criteria for traditional
compliance monitoring will give
the commercial organization
additional and useful data.
is will determine if there is
alignment between corporate
goals, performance
management and
monitoring criteria.
Consider including
desired competencies
and skills.

* Ensure effective reporting and follow-up procedures
are in place. Reporting should be designed to monitor
trends and enable rapid response to potential compliance
issues. Additionally, automated follow-up procedures
will help close the loop on identified issues, reduce the
workload, and limit the risk of manual steps.

In Conclusion
In summary, field-based monitoring is a critical
tool/process used to reduce compliance risks. However, it
also provides an organization with the opportunity to
reinforce behavioral expectations across the sales cycle and
is beneficial to the overall business.
rough broadening monitoring criteria and
implementation efforts, a guaranteed result will be a more
fully integrated and successful commercial
operation. I
