Make Yourself Irreplaceable. Becoming Invaluable with Georgette Rowland of MoneyGym.

"Imagine being THAT type of accountant or bookkeeper. How often
do you think they would be trying to replace you?...because the
relationship is so solid!"


GBD68. Director of the Financial Gym, author and speaker
Georgette Rowland Osborne, is a former financial sector IT
outsourcing contract-manager who specialised in working with
leading UK financial institutions. Now author of the book “Firmer
Figures, Fess Up or Mess Up”, she reveals how today's finance
professionals can develop the skills of 'client-whispering' and
digital 'bridge-building' to deepen their relationships with
their clients. The result: they become irreplaceable even as
everything around them is becoming just another
commodity.

TALKING POINTS.


* You can't add value and become a better partner to your
clients until you understand them and their REAL business
situation.


* What do you need to know when advising non-digital clients
to leave pen and paper behind? (Do they even HAVE a scanner?).


* What does this mean in practice? Where does the typical small
business start on their journey to the cloud?


* The importance and techniques of 'discovery' conversations.


 


OUR GUEST.


Author, speaker and financial independence-advocate Georgette

one from an ethnic minority. She became manager of a bespoke IT
outsourcing company in the City and specialised in dealing with
banks. Her clients included the Bank of England, Merrill Lynch,
NM Rothschild, NatWest Bank, Ministry of Defence and the Inland
Revenue.  Connect with her on LinkedIn.
