AG Intro:
Good afternoon everyone and welcome! We are excited to bring you this presentation on finding your patients and updating your patient recruitment strategy.
So again, welcome. My name is Annie Garvey. I’ve been involved in patient recruitment at the site level and on a centralized level for a number of years. Currently, I’m heading up the efforts at PatientWise where we focus on working with sites directly to make the most of their $2k-$6k advertising budgets.
After learning objectives, need to poll the audience to gauge responsibilities, and how much of their focus is on patient recruitment.
In order to find your patients, we first need to understand ZMOT or the Zero Moment of Truth…
Google term developed by Jim Lecinski
Changing the “rulebook” of marketing.
This is the moment where consumers make choices that affect the success and failure of nearly every brand in the world….
ZMOT is a vital, new edition to the classic three-step process of stimulus, shelf, experience
Stimulus – see an ad
Shelf – goes to the store, sees the display, sales clerk answers questions, purchases the product
Experience – uses product, product works great, consumer is happy…
BUT NOW…
What was once a message is now a conversation – consumers find and share information about product in their own way, and in their own time
If consumers are researching houses and healthcare, they also look up Band-Aids and ballpoint pens – no MOT is too small

Let’s discuss items you need to have in place before you engage in the conversations.
How to join the conversation…
For our purposes today, joining the conversation consists of social media and online advertising. Oftentimes folks confuse social media with pay-for advertising and vice versa. So let’s set the record straight. Here are the two separate “buckets” of online marketing campaigns.
Social media is free. There are zero costs to you. It is a means of interacting among people where they create, share, and exchange information. These conversations are what make social media social. Most likely, you are familiar with these sites. This is 99% of where the “conversation” lay.
On the other side is online advertising. You might hear this referred to as pay-per-click advertising. Either way, a daily budget is being allocated and you are paying for every click. Here are some examples of popular online advertising outlets.
Let’s put ZMOT and finding your patient into action so you can hone your patient recruitment strategies.
Before we dive further into the social media realm, here’s another polling question for you…
Now if you weren’t convinced that you may want to have an online presence, or engage in an online patient recruitment campaign, consider these two infographics as to the average time and fastest growing social networking user.
If you take anything away from this slide, take these two points:
1.) If you don’t already have a Facebook page, you should create one.
2.) If you think that people over 55 are only reading the newspaper and watching reruns of The Andy Griffith Show, think again!
Begin with the end in mind says Steven Covey. It’s not about you and your study. It’s about the value you are bringing to them.
And if you say, “we want enrollments from this” – you need to think BIGGER!
Beware of people selling impressions, views, etc. The process has to follow the natural progression of human relationships.
Remember – social media is social for a reason
Were you ever listening to someone tell you a story, and all you can think is “what is this person talking about and how does it relate to me?”
Use your expertise when sharing. Discover your voice to share in the online discussion.
We’re going to look at who is doing this well and engaging their audience.
Don’t have to be a “big-wig” on Twitter with 3,000 followers to have influence. Little bits of high content can bring high value.
Go forth and conquer on Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest, and YouTube! If you have more questions, please call/e-mail Annie or I and we are more than willing to help.
Now we want to transition to online advertising and we would like to start by asking another polling question…
If you don’t track, you don’t know how well you’re doing…and maybe that “it’s not worth it.”
Social media is for engagement, online advertising is for screenings.
Work under a cost per click, not cost per impression (impression means every time the ad shows on the screen – you don’t want to pay for this).
