Description
This highly interactive two-day course is designed to help client facing bankers upgrade their interpersonal skills in a number of areas, as well introducing structure and discipline around the process of managing and originating client relationships. Participants complete a psychometric assessment before the program and during the course we introduce the ideas behind psychometric profiles and show participants how they can help better understand the behavioral preferences of clients and colleagues. The program considers what the Bank needs to achieve from its client relationships and introduces tools to help forecast clients’ future financial requirements and identify potential cross-selling opportunities. Wallet sizing and how to get your ‘fair share’ of the wallet are covered in detail. The course also covers personal effectiveness in the area of communication and presentation skills. The course uses banking-based cases, role-plays and exercises to make the content feel relevant and highly contextual
