Q

Level One

Give me an example of excellent client care?

A

Kept in regular contact with The Bank to explain that their client was slow in providing the relevant information to complete the valuation in time to suit their needs.

This allowed The Bank to chase their client for the required information. Once in receipt of the information I kept in regular contact with The Bank to update on timescales.

After the project, I arranged to meet with The Bank socially as this was the first time we had worked with them. This strengthened the relationship leading to repeat business.
