What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?

RAIN group has designed a program that helps customers/advisors like our group understand areas of improvement in our day-to-day practice. These areas of improvement include mastering the client discovery process, which leads to a better experience for the client and better overall productivity for us as advisors. Their program helps advisors understand what clients are looking for and what they value, leading to a win for both the client and advisor. Learning things like mastering client events and asking for referrals is a bonus of learning material in their program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RAIN Group?

Rain Group delivers a very convenient and efficient course that doesn't take up much of your time during work hours but is packed with just the correct information needed to get up and running into nurturing the right relationship with the client. I like the physical workshops and discussions the most David O'Neill, the facilitator, really preprogrammed our way of thinking with his two-way conversations and case examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RAIN Group?

One of the probable drawbacks is that virtual sessions (although helpful) could have been more physical, as I find the physical presence of the RAIN Group Facilitator more effective in a face-to-face set-up, especially with the exercises that were to be done in groups. Technology does fail us from time to time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:

Although there is a saying that you cannot take shortcuts in life, in this case, RAIN group shows you in a more quick, efficient and effective way the proper methods that have been tried and tested and truly work in achieving the desired ROI in Sales and Consultation with Clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rain group helped me reframe and change my way of thinking on how to approach my clients as an invaluable partner with the right SMART insights than a salesman with an end goal of making only a profit.

Rain Group taught me to identify my clients well in advance with the different methods preferred by each of them when communicating and nurturing a relationship that would last longer than the sales cycle's end.

It changed my whole way of thinking and approach, delivering results over a more extended period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
