			SUCCESS STORY
			A large institution's retirement services area brought in SCS to help them increase their competitive advantage in an emerging market. Through on site interviews and brainstorming sessions, SCS did a SWOT analysis of their operations and compared them to industry best practices. SCS partnered with the leadership team to develop an action plan to increase customer satisfaction and assets under management.

"We enjoyed our meeting and are so excited to be working with you. Everyone agreed that yesterday was awesome and by the middle of the day we all felt like we had been working with you for years."

– Lee Swerdlin, President, Swerdlin & Company

“What a refreshing change it was to have consultants who understood our business! When my employer told me we had consultants coming in to spend some time with us, I was dreading it. When Sarah arrived and we started the brainstorming session, she made us feel completely at ease and really listened to what we had to say. In just one half day session, she led the group and helped us refine our ideas so that implementation was realistic. The brainstorming ideas have already brought about positive changes in our workplace.”

– Lori Durbin, QKA, Dynamic Pension Services

"Reflecting on my first year, I would like to say 'Thank You' for all that you have done for me since my entry into the wonderful industry. While we may not speak every day, your wisdom is underlining a lot of what I have done. I pride myself in not just listening to people but listening to the right people and you have added great value to me and WB over the past year."
