Clients should expect to come to sessions prepared. Efficient sessions are beneficial to clients as they are clear on how the dialog are going and what direction future sessions are headed.
Clients should expect the primary adviser to conduct the interview. Face to face interactions are more effective than questionnaires and interviews conducted by subordinates.
Clients can expect the content of these interview sessions to be thorough and comprehensive. Clients can expect advisers to listen carefully, and confidentiality of information, written and spoken. Additionally, patient and deliberate interview sessions can also be expected. Follow up sessions are critical to record updates, changing circumstances and objectives through the life cycle.
