I work with financial services businesses of all sizes, from independent professionals to multinational companies. Most of the businesses and professionals I work with have a track record of success but want to grow to a higherlevel.
For some, that means taking a comprehensive view of the business strategy and moving in new directions. Others mightneed to make changes in the processes they use to generatenew business, to maintain good relationships with current clients, or to engage in effective sales management.
