FINANCES AND BANKING

High-performance Behavior Training in the Banking and Finances Industry Challenges Finances and Banking are facing

The inability to read the client's emotions, fear, surprise, and anger can determine the success and incorporation of this client’s portfolio into the institution. Emotional Intelligence.

Educating clients is not measured on the client's net worth, it is measured in the trust in the person in charge of managing the portfolio and the education/explanation to the clients.

  • Does Your client want to get their nose in the decisions, or is going to be a client that trusts the process, therefore easy to work with?
  • Is it going to be a referral for other clients?
  • Is it clear how the process works?
  • If it is financing, the %, payments, penalties for default?
  • How do you explain the risk to the client?
  • Is there a will involved?
  • Are they ready to talk about succession?
  • Do they have a lawyer?

My question to you is: 

  • Is your team ready - prepared - educated in how to talk to clients?
  • How to build trust?
  • Bring in new clients?
  • WORSE- read the room?

I guess the answer to the majority of these questions is a “NO”?! I am sure this “NO” comes with the question of how to fix the situation before it becomes a fatal situation.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM

Like any good diagnostic, it is important to assess the damage [if there is damage], come up with a plan and implement this plan. Having clear all the time what is the desired outcome for the team, shareholders and institution.

A 6-hour training is not going to do it, but training and steady follow-up and Q&A opportunities, are.
