The Challenge

It was imperative that the EMT set an example for the entire firm of how greater client service, serving both the internal and external client, could immediately and profoundly impact business.

The ImprovEdge Solution

Part 1
Through exercises based on the power of positive, proactive communication, the EMT explored not only effective client communication, but also effective team dynamics. They learned that they had the power to leverage their staff and their colleagues. Best practices were vetted, resources identified and commitments made. Commitments that could be attained to create immediate impact. The team left with clear expectations, goals and a program for future development.

Part 2
6 months later, ImprovEdge returned to measure the success of the program and lead the team through tougher exercises. Everyday managerial challenges were simulated for practice and improvement. The team also learned to leverage their strengths as a cohesive team and pursue further goals.

Internal associates or external customers?” Perhaps it’s both. By delving deeply into serving clients’ needs, and committing to action, we explore how to grow loyal advocates – not just satisfied buyers.
