RE: Second Annual Telephone Center Management Skills Seminars-
Second Notice
__________________________________________________________
Here is a reminder of the series of regional one-day seminars the
Institute will sponsor for those who manage and supervise fund
telephone representatives.
The seminars will be held in four cities, San Francisco, New
York, Kansas City, and Boston, this February and March. They will
feature presentations on ways to improve the supervisory and
management skills of those who run shareholder service and
broker/dealer service organizations. Speakers will include
industry executives, as well as outside experts. Each seminar
will also include a group discussion, during which attendees can
meet and discuss areas of common concern with telephone center
managers and supervisors from other fund groups.
Registration for these seminars will be limited to employees of
ICI member organizations and their transfer agents, as well as
other non-members who have a business relationship with an ICI
member fund group. Please register early, as space will be
limited and walk-in registrations may not be accommodated.
Topics to be Covered
These seminars will focus on providing attendees with ideas that
they can use in the management of their own telephone centers.
Topics to be covered include:
* How the Telephone Center Fits Into Fund Marketing Plans and
Operations
* Interviewing/Hiring/Compensating Fund Telephone Representatives
* Training Fund Telephone Representatives
* Motivating Fund Telephone Representatives
* The Regulatory Aspects of Running a Fund Telephone Center
