Currently goods and products are leveling out in price, assortment and quality. For consumers they are less and less differentiable.

Sphere of competence is becoming more about not the product, but the difference in system of work with a client, attractiveness of a product and firm for a consumer (attract-function). This concept is complex, multidimensional. All efforts of owners, top managers and employees have to be concentrated on a cone, which is turned to the consumer of organization’s products. This cone is an attract-function of organization – resulting in the activity of a firm from consumers’, customers’, partners’ point of view. Simply – attractiveness of an organization as a whole.  

Perfection in the sphere of development of attract-function has no limits. Effectively turning an organization towards the client can be done only as a whole, including all its divisions and levels of management, involving in this process all employees.   

The seminar is oriented on experience and qualification level of participants and presents:

• active dialogue of the host – experience of a head simultaneously with a business consultant with participants;
• training by a principle of “case study” (analysis of the business situations taken from real practice);
• analysis by participants of concrete problems of their organizations and development of decisions connected with active development, i.e. the express-consulting.
