Prescribing decisions don’t happen in isolation—and they don’t start with the doctor.

In this episode, we break down who truly influences access, flow, and decision-making inside a medical office. From nurses and office managers to front-desk gatekeepers, understanding who drives the office—and how to earn their trust—can determine whether you get seen or shut out.

We discuss how relationships shift with new accounts, staff turnover, and the start of a new year, and how smart reps adjust their approach to build credibility beyond the prescriber.

Key Takeaways:

• Why nurses and office managers often control access more than the provider
• How to prioritize relationships when entering a new office
• What to say (and what not to say) to gatekeepers
• How trust compounds over time inside a practice
• Common mistakes reps make when ignoring non-prescriber influence
