Whether you work within a small firm, an RIA, a bank or a trust company, your skills for working with clients are crucial to your success and the success of your firm. You need to be able to interview clients well to discover their real investment needs, goals, and risk tolerance. You need to answer the client’s real questions succinctly and clearly, matched to the client’s level of knowledge. Even if you work alongside a relationship manager, you still need to coordinate well to support the client relationship. Dr. Jim Grubman, an internationally-recognized expert in family dynamics and wealth psychology, will join us to explain key skills and techniques for elevating your work with clients. He will discuss and demonstrate practical tips you can use on your own or within a wealth management team. We think attendees will gain skills that can produce better returns on their invested relationship capital.
