Client Retention and New Business in the "New Normal"
About this session
In this session you will learn about the 'client apathy cycle' and the 'age of the customer', as well as exceptions to the cycle and how these are present in the current environment.
The webinar will look at the importance of meeting the client in their world, the importance of social selling, best practice and how to use it.
Participants will also learn how to overcome client apathy and how to command clients' attention including the use of perspective and how to achieve it.
Finally the webinar will look at challenges to communication presented by the 'new normal' and how to adapt to these.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar delegates will be able to:
- Understand the challenges to the adviser or seller pre-Covid – client apathy/age of the customer and how these challenge client intimacy
- Appreciate that whilst Covid and the new normal seems to create greater distance from clients, in fact it creates huge opportunity
- Learn approaches and methodologies to overcome these challenges and maximise the opportunities
This CPD event is relevant to all financial services practitioners across general insurance and financial planning.
