Why do it?
The program enables firms to understand client stickiness, service areas in need of of improvement, and the competitive landscape and market more generally – at a regional and client type level.
Clients are presented with an opportunity to better understand the perceptions and behavior of their client base, by e.g. looking at their brand advocacy versus peers and what drives it. Additionally, the program provides insight into client trading behaviour and service expectations across different segments, as well as an illustration of the difference between general market sentiment and the sentiment of the firm’s own clients.
The insights provided by program can be used to identify risks, as well as revenue opportunities, across different client segments and markets.
