Key Points
- Understanding and engaging with HCPs and KOLs on social media is essential for MSLs in today's digital world, as it helps speed up relationship building and keeps them informed about current trends and discussions in their field.
- MSLs should focus on social listening and following key hashtags, especially during conferences, to stay updated on the latest scientific advancements and to see where their KOLs are active without necessarily having to post or comment themselves.
- It's crucial for MSLs to maintain a clear separation between their personal and professional social media accounts, adhere strictly to their company's compliance guidelines, and avoid engaging in debates or commenting on product-specific information to mitigate risks.
