Introduction
Despite its reputation for excellence, Coutts recognised that some advisors struggled to form meaningful client connections. Mindflick partnered with them to develop CLICK, an emotional intelligence programme designed to enhance self-awareness, emotional control, and relationship-building skills—helping advisors build deeper client connections and elevate the sales experience.
The challenge
Coutts advisors are known for their exceptional client service, but they had identified a key challenge on the frontline—in some cases, advisors struggled to form strong, natural connections with clients. When this happened, they either leaned on the bank’s reputation or passed the client to a colleague in the hope of a better fit.
To deepen client relationships and improve the sales experience, Coutts wanted to equip advisors with the skills and awareness to click with any client, fostering deeper trust, improved satisfaction, and stronger commercial performance.
The solution
The impact
The CLICK programme has had a significant impact across the organisation:
Over 400 sales advisors and team leaders have participated, with the course receiving outstanding NPS scores across 25 cohorts. Advisors who completed the programme reported increased emotional intelligence, leading to increases:
- 2.1 Higher client-rated Net Promoter Scores (NPS)
- Improved client satisfaction
- Measurable increases in sales performance
In 2022, CLICK was awarded the Princess Royal Training Award, recognising its transformational impact on staff development and client relationships.
By embedding emotional intelligence into the way advisors engage with clients, Coutts has strengthened relationships, satisfaction, and commercial success—ensuring every interaction is an opportunity to build trust and drive results.
