Services
At Global Client Leader Gym our aim is to ensure your GCL is maximising the value you get from your communications and is ultimately fit to deliver in your best interests. We do this by offering:
PITCH SUPPORT: working alongside Clients, Intermediaries and Third Parties, we provide specialised and rigorous analysis to ensure that the person who ends up leading your account is the best possible candidate.
ANNUAL CHECK-INS: we provide analysis and input on where your GCL is strong and where they need extra work.
MENTORING: we can provide a programme of independent, empathetic but directional assistance to your GCL, helping them keep fit for purpose.
RECRUITMENT: You want the efficiency and cost savings of working with one holding company, but you also want to ensure that your GCL retains independence in your best interest. We can work with you and/or an industry recruiter to provide specialist input to help locate the best possible candidate.
WE ENSURE COMPLETE CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY
