Problem<\/h2>

When an award-winning Clinical Trials Recruitment {CRO) and Media Services Company ran a direct response campaign to enroll subjects in new trials, it began receiving a large number of inbound calls. Although a testament to the success of the campaign, the volume of inbound calls was overwhelming the company’s capabilities. It was imperative that all incoming calls were not only answered, but that prospective study enrollees received relevant information and customer service.<\/p>

Search for a Solution<\/h2>

The Clinical Trials Recruitment firm enrolled subjects for research studies focused on pain management, diabetes control and new\u00a0 arthritis treatments and required a locally headquartered call center with the capacity to manage large inbound call volumes that was\u00a0also HIPAA and l.R.B. compliant. Agents needed to be knowledgeable about\u00a0which questions they could ask callers<\/a>\u00a0when collecting information over the phone and how to answer questions asked of them. Additionally, the company needed a call center partner that could provide support through call volume spikes that matched radio and television ad runs.<\/p>
