About the program

Participants compare advisory proximity with transactional intimacy. A shared account is described as a client, customer and strategic relationship before the group considers whether its invoice should change. The finance representative has requested that it should not.

Who it is for

Customer-experience leaders, client partners, CRM owners and communications teams responsible for explaining the difference.
