Keynote Topics

What is customer retention?  It is about creating value that energises two things regarding your customers: positive behavioural responses and strong emotional bonds. 

Retaining customers is never about entrapping them.  It is more like “magnetising” them.

Samantha Hillion-Burns roots in customer psychology and communications provide firm ground upon which you can rely on our expertise in the art and science of retaining clients. 

Add to this our substantial first-hand knowledge and experience of what it takes to keep customers in the financial services industry.

To increase customer retention a number of factors need to pull in the same direction simultaneously.  Such as: The way you listen to and communicate with customers. 

The competence, energy and ethics of your leaders and team.  The effectiveness of systems and processes.  The design and quality of products and services. The attention to details showing your value of and respect for customers.

You’re probably already doing very well in certain factors but might not be aware of where and how improvements need to be made that will have the most significant impact on your customer retention.  

This is why you need independent expertise to provide professional objective reviews, advice and recommendations.  This is what we do for our clients.
