For financial services firms to connect and communicate with this skeptical public, the right language is more important than ever.
Based on more than a decade’s worth of research with leading banks, credit companies, insurance companies, asset managers and broker-dealers into how consumers and the public perceive financial services companies, Michael provides actionable principles for credible communication that will help you make every communication more effective.
In this keynote, Michael presents real world examples of how financial services firms have succeeded or failed based on their ability to effectively communicate to external and internal audiences. Relying on deep industry knowledge and a wealth of proprietary research, he provides audiences with a tailored set of communication principles they can directly apply to the work they do every day.
In this entertaining, highly relevant and engaging interactive presentation, Maslansky explains:
- Why underlying attitudes toward the value of the financial services industry make it harder to make economic and job-creation claims
- What it takes to rebuild trust in this new environment
- Why TARP and other dead horses still matter, even if you don’t want them to.
- Why the contradictions between what you say and what you do can make it impossible to rebuild trust.
- Why the old rules of selling need to be replaced with the new approach of “strategic telling.”
- Why four principles of communication can make every message more credible and help you turn skeptics into supporters.
Whether you are a senior executive, salesperson or marketer or anyone who has to communicate about your product or service, this presentation can give you a deeper understanding of your audience and what it takes to sell your product, service or new idea.
In today’s skeptical environment, it is not enough to have a good story to tell, you need to be able to tell a good story.
How can you communicate effectively in an environment where consumers have more control, technology has more impact and the media is everywhere, all the time? How do you manage your reputation? Create internal alignment? Sell products in a crowded space? Address critics, regulators and the media? He’ll share insights into new words and new techniques for your organization, whether in times of crisis, in advertising and public relations campaigns, or with investors.

And thanks to this unique approach and the powerful feedback from real customers, they consistently receive the highest feedback from attendees.
