When consumers and healthcare professionals contact a manufacturer with an issue, could the consumer service team actually make things worse?
In the life sciences, that’s often the case, with complaints flaring into damaging publicity, FDA audits and recalls, and lawsuits from customers and shareholders.
Here’s how to give front-line representatives the skills they need to keep complaints from jeopardizing customer relations or FDA compliance.
In this 90-minute webinar, attendees will discover complaint-management tactics and compliance tips that can immediately help reduce risks and liability. From dealing with angry callers to when, how and if to respond to negative comments on social media, arm the entire team with today’s best, life-sciences-specific practices for documenting and managing conversations effectively.
Step-by-step, Customer Complaints in Life Sciences explains how to monitor and protect the company’s reputation, while still being truthful and honest about any known problems. It’s the fine-line guidance needed to meet FDA regulations and even transform hostile callers into advocates!
Attendees will learn:
• The right front-line response to drug and device complaints
• How to identify fraudulent complaints—red flag alerts
• Proper documentation—what the FDA will and won’t recognize
• Investigating serious complaints—how to get the product back and test it
• Avoiding common (but costly) communication pitfalls
• How to approach complaints via social media
• Electronic Discovery Act implications—case studies on how situations can go from bad to worse
Remember, the FDA won’t hesitate to hand out warning letters for even little mistakes in handling adverse event reporting and complaint-management. Why risk letting poorly handled complaints erupt into delayed recalls, lawsuits and more?
