Behavioural Design training for financial services

Your customer knows what is sensible, and still puts it off.

How much effect your advice has depends on how much influence you have on the choices and behaviour of your customers. Fortunately, that can be learnt. In our online course you learn how to help customers choose without pushing.

The path

The same method, online, at your own pace.

Lesson by lesson you work on one question: why does your customer do what they do? You apply it straight away with the tools of the SUE Influence Framework©. Then the fix: how do you make the sensible choice the easiest choice, and how do you put AI to work on it? In 33 lessons at your own pace you collect downloads and tools you use for your own form, app or customer process on Monday.

Through your employer

How to get your employer on board

Most participants take the training on their employer’s budget or their own training budget. The VAT invoice goes to your organisation: €1,490 excl. VAT. Open the email below, fill in three things and send it to your manager.

Subject: Request for the training The Art of Influence©Dear [name], I would like to attend SUE's training The Art of Influence©: two days in Amsterdam on [date], 1,490 euros excl. VAT. SUE invoices [organisation] directly. Customers put off important financial decisions, even when acting would be in their own interest. We usually try to fix that with better arguments. The SUE method turns that round: first understand why someone does or doesn't do something, then design the situation so the behaviour we want becomes the easy option. The training works with real examples from practice. I bring back the Influence Framework, the templates and cheat cards, and use them afterwards on [project or question]. I also come back with an EQAC-accredited certificate. If you agree, I will book this week. Best regards, [name]
Which one is on your desk?

Six questions every financial services professional recognises.

How do I get customers to look at their pension?

A pension feels distant and complicated. Make the first step small and show what it means for them personally.

More on behaviour change →

Why do customers drop out halfway through an application?

Every extra question is a moment to doubt. Remove the effort where it is not needed.

More on designing customer experience →

How do I help customers in arrears take action?

Shame and stress make people leave the post unopened. A friendly, very concrete first step works better than a threatening letter.

More on persuasion →

Where is the line between helping people choose and pushing them?

You are helping when the customer is still happy with the choice later. If they only find out afterwards what they chose, you went too far.

More on consumer behaviour →

How do I get employees on board with a new way of working?

A new procedure does not land by explaining it. Make the new way easier than the old one.

More on making change land →

How do I get customers to use the new digital tools?

Customers keep phoning when that feels familiar. Make the first digital attempt pay off straight away.

Frequently asked questions

What financial services professionals ask before they sign up.

I know nothing about behavioural science. Is this still right for me in financial services?

Most participants start without any prior knowledge. You learn exactly the behavioural science you need, and you apply it straight away to real-life examples. Afterwards you know how to use it in your customer processes, communication and products.

Does this fit the rules we have to comply with?

Yes. You learn to design choices that help the customer without misleading them. Because you know how decisions are made, you can explain better why a design is fair.

Who will I be in the group with?

A mixed group of up to 16 people: marketers, HR, communications, lawyers, policymakers and managers. The mix is on purpose. You see how someone from another sector wrestles with exactly the same kind of question.

Can I claim this back from my employer?

Yes. We invoice in your company’s name and the training is EQAC-accredited. That makes reimbursement easier. Need a quote or more information for your request? Get in touch.

You can keep telling customers what is sensible. Or you can learn to design the sensible choice. The Art of Influence© online · start today
