Advisors gained confidence and competence in handling a range of customer interactions, particularly with vulnerable customers.

Compliance Assurance:

 

The training ensured advisors were up-to-date with Consumer Duty legislation, equipped to offer compliant and empathetic service.

Targeted Skill Development:

 

AI feedback identified specific areas where advisors needed improvement, guiding targeted follow-up training.

Continual Adaptation to Legislation:

 

The AI system's adaptability meant that training remained current with ongoing legislative changes, maintaining a high standard of compliance and service.

How We Did It:

Our team meticulously programmed thousands of potential scenarios into the AI system, ensuring responses were accurate and relevant. This detailed work allowed for natural conversation flow and relevant feedback, closely mirroring real-life interactions.

 

The AI avatars were designed to represent a spectrum of customer personalities, including those identified as vulnerable, enabling advisors to practise and refine their approach to meet varying customer needs and regulatory requirements.
