Quotes
[13:06] - "Client experience is the right competitive strategy for this industry, and more and more advisory firms are catching onto that. Client experience is going to be the big differentiator in the future." ~ Greg Menefee
[15:16] - "A world-class client experience starts with a world-class associate experience. An organization has to focus and invest time thinking about what their associate experience will look like to support their clients' experience and feel about their organization. If the advisor doesn't believe the client's experience is important, they will not make the connection." ~ Greg Menefee
[22:21] - "Client experience isn't an event. It's not a department, and it's not a person in your organization. It's a strategy. So, you will either compete based on your product, price, or experience. That's it."~ Greg Menefee
