9:00 am - 10:00 am - Why Good Service is No Longer Good Enough

At a time when products, processes and platforms are increasingly commoditized, no longer is it enough to be transaction efficient or “service -oriented”. Empirical research based upon face -to face interviews with financially successful individuals clearly finds that a firm and its advisors as well as support staff needs to deliver a consistently elevated experience to capture and retain clients. The key components of an elevated experience as expressed by these financially successful individuals, are detailed. Specifically, this keynote presentation addresses:
 Why good, great or even personal service is no longer enough to retain their business.
 How a client or prospect’s overall experience is now an integral part of their perception of real and perceived VALUE.
 Why an elevated experience illustrates a relational approach over a transactional approach.
 How delivering an elevated experience becomes a very clear point of distinction from other firms.
 Why a consistently elevated experience creates emotional chemistry, stronger relationships, repeat business, and brand advocacy.
 The six psychological needs that drive their desire for an elevated experience and the specific tactics for each; tactics that will set your organization apart.
 Why consistent delivery is about cultural mindset; not about time or investing treasure.
