As part of the donor retention strategy, the Recruiter will follow-up with the donor after collection to recognize their donation and encourage future donations. They will communicate with reagent manufacturers to sell collected red blood cells and platelets units; sequester collected red blood cells in anticipation of labeling and shipping, and prepare shipping paperwork for units sold.
