Let's get started







    Are your clients happy?

    Client Satisfaction Surveys

    You need to make sure your clients are happy, because happy clients are more likely to be loyal, long-term clients and provide your best opportunities for business growth through referrals. A client survey lets you see your business through the eyes of your clients and provides early warning signs when you need to address emerging issues. We facilitate the survey process including receipt of responses and collation and collaborate with you to evaluate survey results and identify the key areas considered critical to client satisfaction.

    Ensure Your Team’s Success

    Personalized Training for Career Growth

    Individual Performance Coaching for Results

    Personal is an individualized approach to sales and performance improvement that focuses the sales person’s efforts on the activities that are most important in the sales process. It is ideal for any sales person that wants to move to the next level of production, new sales people learning to apply a sales process, sales people struggling to meet increased expectations, and one-person departments where there are no internal support systems for coaching.

    Executive Oversight Training for Bank Executives and Trust Committee Members

    This one-day program focuses on management issues (including metrics to evaluate department performance) and the regulatory issues important for the oversight body to understand. It provides practical, usable information that can equip Board Members and Bank Executives for their role and responsibility in Trust oversight. The course is delivered on-site.

    Where to Begin: Training Needs Assessment

    The first step in any improvement program is an assessment of the current situation. Understanding your employees’ specific needs is critical if training is to be successful. We tailor our instruction to fill the gap between your team’s current skill level and what’s needed to meet your business goals. By including employees in the process, our needs assessment process helps get employee buy-in to training and skill development as essential to meet individual and company goals.
