What is Relationship Xpansion (Rx)?

Relationship Xpansion is a comprehensive skill building and follow through experience developed exclusively for professional services organizations and product firms with a client/customer service dimension. It helps firms "activate" their client facing service delivery professionals through a repeatable program and process for expanding firm relationships.  

The goal is simple: to create an army of “mini-rainmakers” (or as we like to call them “mistmakers”) resulting in:

  • Incremental lead generation 
  • Revenue growth
  • Client retention/loyalty 
  • Competitive differentiation

The Rx Workshop

Relationship Xpansion For Professionals is a high impact, 1 day workshop created specifically for professionals and consultants - regardless of service discipline. The workshop helps participants expand their business development "comfort zone", enabling them to engage more effectively. 

Rx Services

The workshop targets the majority of your delivery staff, and provides pragmatic skills, tools, and behaviors that can be immediately deployed for maximum impact. In addition, participants will develop goals for their own post workshop behavior change and a customized Relationship Enhancement Activities Plan (REAP) for their clients and contacts. These plans support enhanced field execution and provides a mechanism for oversight, coaching and accountability. 

The workshop leverages the "Story Centered" learning methodology developed by world renowned cognitive learning expert Roger Schank. Participants are immersed in an actual client scenario throughout the workshop. Business development and relationship enhancement skills are aligned with learning objectives, and delivered at critical points of the scenario where students are most open to absorbing the content Post Workshop 'Aftercare' Experience.

The Gray Matters Rx for Professionals Workshop includes a comprehensive series of post workshop aftercare “experiences” over a 12 week period to support the retention and integration of the Rx learnings. The Gray Matters Rx Aftercare program includes multiple post workshop “touch points”, while delivering robust management reporting features to track activities and impact in the field. Rx Aftercare engages staff and management, linking the intended Rx behaviors with the current business development processes of our clients.
