Client Matters

An advocate for mental health and well-being in the workplace, Alex Lichtenfeld believes that internal relationship building and understanding the people around you will make a difference both to the happiness of a workforce and their productivity – it is simply good business sense. Alex has seen how empathy in the workplace can enable employees to increase productivity at every level. Over the years she has developed a very direct approach to this via mentoring employees from business owners, senior executives and their direct reports to junior members of staff, to help them achieve their goals. As a result, senior executives have gained the language necessary to enhance internal relationships within their specific teams that will ultimately help the business grow and junior employees learn how to converse better and understand situations and nuances.

Client Matters is a different kind of business consultancy, working internally with company owners and senior executives to help them get more out of their people by one-to-one mentoring and helping them grow their businesses organically through the retention and development of existing clients and valuable referrals.

Client Matters does this in two ways:

Business Mentoring

Alex will work with you and your employees, through face-to-face mentoring, to find out what makes everyone tick. She boosts morale, helps them understand how to communicate and deal with their peers and their clients in a more direct, productive and honest way, as well as offering grounded advice on general business issues. Alex can change their working lives and turn promising employees into star performers. She will motivate your employees away from their remuneration issues, empower them, nurture them, listen to their problems and ultimately give you and your staff the tools to deal with the everyday stresses and strains of the work place.

Client Audits

A 5-step programme to explore what your client thinks of you, with prioritised recommendations for future planning, constructed as follows:

The Meeting – with you to explore concerns, issues, history and your current understanding of the working relationship with your client.
The Brief – back to you for agreement. This summarises the objectives of the Audit. Once you have let your client know about the Audit Alex will liaise with them directly to agree a date for the interview, keeping you informed every step of the way.
The Interview – a 45-minute session with your client to explore their views on your business, team and quality of service. This can be bespoke or generic questions devised by Client Matters to explore every aspect of the business/client relationship, based on their experience and knowledge.
The Report – the personal presentation of a detailed and confidential report on Client Matter’s findings, with clear and prioritised recommendations.
Planning – working with you to address client feedback through internal mentoring.
