View event detailsWebinar: GI Consumer Duty and Update
The FCA has made it clear that "some firms may be further behind in their thinking and planning for the Duty. This brings a risk that they may not be ready in time, or they may struggle to embed the Duty effectively throughout their business." A recent review highlighted three key areas where firms should particularly focus their attention during the second half of the implementation period (to 31 July 2023):- 1) Effective prioritisation; 2) Embedding the substantive requirements; 3) Working with other firms (many firms need to work and share information with other firms in the distribution chain but some plans gave little focus to this area).

View event detailsUnderstanding and Addressing Client Buying Influences
How often do we lose an existing account, or fail to win a sales pitch despite having what we think is clearly the best proposition? We may have developed trusted advisor status with our client, understood their needs and developed tailored solutions in line with their business objectives. Our contact at the client may also love our proposition. But we still lose the business. The most common reason that this happens is that we fail to identify, understand, and address the decision making dynamic and wider buying influences at our prospect or client. This session demonstrates a step-by-step methodology to make sure you cover all the bases and are not left scratching your head after another unexplained failure.
