OUR ADVISERS

Managing the relationship

From the start, you will need to know what you can expect from a TEN adviser.  Think about the following questions:

1. How often will you meet, for how long?
2. What areas will the adviser cover?
3. What will you need to do yourself?
4. What results can you expect?

Be clear about how much effort you are prepared to put into the relationship.  To make the most of your meetings, make sure you have all the key facts and figures ready, Otherwise, you will waste valuable time hunting for information.  You’ll also need to follow through on our adviser’s suggestions if they are to have any impact.

Whenever possible, agree specific targets and interim milestones and deadlines.  These will help you agree how long you will need our adviser and check that you are making progress.

Be honest and communicate.  Let the adviser know if you are unhappy with the way things are going.  Check whether our adviser feels that you haven’t lived up to your side of the deal.
