How The Progress Center Can Increases Your Firm's Revenues Increasing revenues is important to any Firm's bottom line. Getting more clients and hence, more investable assets, is the best and most obvious approach. A Firm will get more clients and additional revenues when it:
Financial services Firms provide services. Whether these services are reflected as sales of investment products or as consultative financial advice, you are in a service-oriented, people-driven industry. The sales representatives of your Firm - call them advisors - are the most important component of your Firm's retail asset-gathering business. They stand at the center of the relationship between your Firm and your clients. They are the tip of the marketing spear. They are the most prominent component of your presence in the community, the people who determine how your Firm is viewed and valued. Unfortunately, most advisors aren't as efficient, effective, competent and motivated as they could be. Far too many advisors get complacent and fail to continually refine their skills. Consequently, most advisors do not become the chief architects by which clients build bridges to reach their financial dreams. Since they are not perceived as having solutions to meet their clients' financial goals and objectives, clients seek additional advisors elsewhere, relegating yur firm and advisors to being just another vendor. To grow your Firm's revenues, you must grow your client/investable assets base, and this means growing and nurturing your Firm's advisors. You must motivate your advisors to become proficient deliverers of Firm services. To do so, you must:
By motivating your advisors to become competent, proficient delivers of Firm services, you will not only retain your current top advisors but you will also attract new, like-minded advisors as well. The Progress Center creates and delivers impactful, results-oriented programs which motivate advisors to become world-class deliverers of Firm services.
Every Firm has a corporate image in the client's eyes. Fortunately or unfortunately, this perception is the only one that counts in asset-gathering. With this image routinely reinforced by the Firm's advisors and support staff, it is imperative that the client's perception of the Firm be positive, proactive and scrupulously accurate. In other words, the client must believe that the Firm, through its advisors and support staff, will act in his best financial interest. This requires the Firm to enable the advisor to deliver a consistent, powerful, compelling message to any specified target market. The Progress Center works with advisors and support staff to deliver a consistent, compelling corporate message to attract investable assets from any specified target market.
It goes without saying that a Firm's most powerful, asset-gathering arm cannot function properly without management support. Even in today's electronic environment, workloads often mandate a "trickle-down" style of communication … from top management to regional management, to branch management, to advisors. This almost invariably results in distortion and confusion of the original message. In working with executive management and the Firm's marketing and training departments, The Progress Center can assist downline management teams to deliver the marketing message most in line with corporate strategic plans.
