Five key lessons to improve Five key lessons to improve pharmacist-patient relationships.pharmacist-patient relationships.Establish a sense of trust Imagine a pharmaceutical representative
presenting information to you in a fashion that makes you feel manipulated.
Uncover patients' actual needs At first glance, the way to uncover patients' needs
may seem straightforward: Simply ask an open-ended question such as, “What brings you in today?”
Think dialogue, not monologue Just as physicians dislike salespeople who seem to
dominate the interaction, patients dislike us when we do the same.
Don't force “the close” The close is a sales term that describes the
phase of the interaction during which the salesperson obtains a commitment from the customer to close the deal and proceed to the next step.
Always follow up Effective salespeople always follow up with
their customers on prior sales to determine whether they were satisfied with their solutions. They also follow up just to say hi, which demonstrates that the customer is important to them.
ConclusionConclusion Developing strong
patient relationships with high levels of satisfaction is challenging, but it is a realistic goal.
These lessons can
provide fresh insight into our approach with patients and can lead to a greater understanding of patient’s needs and increased levels of compliance.
