Orlando, FL – June 6, 2018 — Xtiva Financial Systems, Inc. and Absolute Engagement Inc., have announced an alliance to help advance advisor success and achievement with a focus on client engagement throughout the entire advisor journey. By establishing this partnership, Xtiva is extending and enriching its Sales Performance Management (SPM) platform to further the success of advisors and their firms. Xtiva’s focus is on enabling its users to achieve more. Advancing client engagement is core to successful advisory practices.

The alliance will also expand and increase access to valuable professional development, bring powerful and deployable Engagement Key Performance Metrics for advisors and enterprises to market, and raise the standards of success across the industry by powering a new curriculum with the best of the best female advisors.
Julie Littlechild, Founder and CEO of Absolute Engagement, has been a leader in the client engagement space for several decades. “Julie’s book, The Pursuit of Absolute Engagement, is a must read for every Financial Advisor and Wealth Management executive. In fact, we believe that every achievement focused advisor and firm should get to know Absolute Engagement” says Xtiva CEO Thomas Moysak. “We expect our mutual clients to benefit as they are empowered to achieve more engagement and accelerate their success. It is going to be amazing leverage.”
Alliance highlights includes:
• Absolute Engagement will become a content and training partner in the Xtiva SPM Suite, with a curated collection of Absolute Engagement advisor development and training content to be made available to users of the Xtiva SPM Suite beginning in 2019.
• Users of the Xtiva SPM Suite will have the opportunity to participate in and gain access to exclusive insights from pulse surveys on customer engagement, service and referral strategies. This will give them a leg up on emergent trends and the latest ideas and practices ahead of the broader market.
• Financial Service firms using the Xtiva SPM Suite will be able to enroll and manage participation of their Advisors on Absolute Engagement’s client experience training platform, Engagement Edge. They will also be able to use the Xtiva SPM Suite to help monitor and extend the success of participants.
• Absolute Engagement Founder and engagement expert Julie Littlechild will collaborate with Xtiva to develop engagement metrics that can be leveraged by Xtiva users and enterprises to drive and manage their businesses.
• The partners will invest in a multi-dimensional program to cultivate and celebrate the achievement of female advisors. The first property will be a podcast, launching in the fall of 2018. Hosted by Julie Littlechild, it will be an intimate dialogue with top achieving female advisors or industry influencers in which they can explore and dig deep into female achievement in financial services.
