Based on the principles in his latest book, Getting Naked, Pat presents a revolutionary and counterintuitive approach to client service that yields uncommon levels of trust and loyalty. 'Naked Service,' as Pat calls it, provokes consultants and service providers to be completely transparent and vulnerable with clients and to avoid the three fears that ultimately sabotage client allegiance. Learn principles like 'enter the danger,' 'tell the kind truth,' and 'always consult instead of sell' that can help you establish a fiercely loyal client base. Whether you are an internal or external consultant, financial advisor or anyone else serving long-term clients—you will glean some powerful tools for overcoming the three fears, and gain a real and lasting competitive edge.
