“The Client Advisor Awards spotlights only the most exceptional expert firms for creating standard-setting client experiences and outcomes,” said Andrew Dietz, Founder of Creative Growth Group and The Client Advisor Awards and author of the recently released book – The Opening Playbook: A Professional’s Guide To Building Relationships That Grow Revenue.  “At the same time, the program recognizes a handful of the best clients to advise. We call these companies Clients of Choice because they expertly and intentionally create conditions for their professional services advisors to succeed on their companies behalf,” Dietz said.
