Overview

The skill that often separates the top professionals in a client-focused organization from the average ones is their ability to effectively manage – not just maintain – client relationships. Top professionals are adept at probing to identify the real need, setting and managing expectations, adapting to the communication style of clients, and gaining buy-in for solutions. Borrowing from key components of the firm’s three-day course, The Effective Consultant, this workshop provides critical skills for successfully managing client relationships.
