MPF Managing Partners' Forum

Dear Colleague,

 

About the MPF
The Managing Partners' Forum is the premier association for those involved in the management of professional firms. MPF promotes excellence in management though campaigns, surveys and knowledge sharing roundtables - to gain a feel for the association please join us as a guest at our next event (see GUEST ELIGIBILITY)

 

Evolving client relationships
- re-assessing demand and drivers of value for professional services


The drivers of value are changing in professional services industries as clients become more cost-conscious and price-led. This cost pressure is impacting client relationships like never before as the emphasis clients place on different criteria shifts to meet the new environment.

 

Using cutting edge data from their world leading global surveys of more than 7,000 interviews over the last three years in the legal and property sectors, Acritas will present an analysis of the various datasets which reveals:

  • What's different about relationships when clients are most satisfied and loyal?
  • How clients who fall below these levels would like to see their relationships improve?
  • What do clients articulate as value for money? Which high performance areas correspond with a high value rating?
  • How have the drivers of favourability and selection criteria changed over the last three years?
  • What's critical to gaining recommendations and winning pitches?

Our speaker will discuss how everything from marketing messages, tenders and client service and approaches to relationship management need to adapt to reflect this changing world.

 

I hope that you can attend.
