Overview

Referrals are the main driver of new clients in Professional Services firms.  Yet they are often treated as a “concept” with little real strategy to obtain them.  This topical presentation examines client referral secrets via an entertaining multiple-choice quiz, played individually or in teams, leading to a practical solutions handout.

“Client Engagement” is often discussed but rarely understood.  Once you have a client, how do you become a trusted adviser and obtain more business, services and referrals?  The audience will examine key client survey data via an interactive quiz and practical handout to learn what really boosts client engagement.

Time Management often relies on heavy theoretical concepts that are difficult to execute in the real world.  This presentation turns well known time management clichés on their head by applying practical solutions to three common real world “profiles” - Blackberry addict, Diary lover and Computer hound.

Most Professional Services advisers dislike sales, but not has much as they dislike Business Development!  This presentation examines “best practices” advisers can use to approach Business Development in a more comfortable and successful manner.  A “parable” case study is used to develop a compelling story.
