My response harkened back to my first book Developing Knowledge-Based Client Relationships. In financial services in particular, there are three key aspects to ‘knowledge-based’ relationships that not only create value, but can also essentially lock-in the client. If you know your clients better than your competitors, and critically do things differently because of that knowledge, you will provide deeper value. MORE

In my first book Developing Knowledge-Based Client Relationships: The Future of Professional Services the final chapter was titled Value-Based Pricing: Implementing New Revenue Models.
