How to Recognize a KOL on the Street

They're specialists - not generalists. They know a lot about a particular indication or population..

They're confident. You can usually find them out and about. You'll know a genuine KOL because he or she will likely smile and wave.

The old "know-like-trust" maxim rings true for KOLs. Their peers hold them in high regard - and for good reason.

�Peers come to them time and time again for advice.
