By Dr. Len Schwartz


Everybody has finances to handle no matter how large or small, this means that the need for professionals is virtually never ending. Whether it is queries on how to spend an inheritance or the regular monthly salary, many need advice and guidance. However there are as many consultants in the market and the struggle for clients is cutthroat. When marketing for financial advisors there are strategies that are sure to get enough clients to sustain your business.

Before you even start marketing you should make sure you have all the requirements that make such a service provider attractive. For one you should be knowledgeable in your field of work. Even the best marketing strategies cannot save you if your professionalism bogus. When promoting your services you should also involve creativity in your strategies. It is important to know that it is the little things which make all the difference.

The first thing is to get peoples attention. Everyone can see an advert in the television, news, email et al but they might not notice what is in it. One of the things you can do is to put a story which people can relate to easily in your adverts, regardless of the method you use. For instance how you helped one of your prospects reduce the additional unnecessary tax; everybody pays taxes and will relate.

You should also be good in following up. Some people might register with you and even set up an appointment with you and then have second thoughts. Calling this person up and inquiring what the problem is will make them feel needed and appreciated.

You could also motivate those who have been with you long enough and have succeeded in that which they have been pursuing. For instance if one of your clients has a problem with risk taking and investing you can buy them a book on how to be a smart risk taker or pay for them to attend a seminar on the subject.

Also you should take it upon yourself to follow up with consumers in the middle of their appointments. For instance there are customers who will book four appointments per year, in between those appointments you could send them articles and email on the subject they come to you about. For instance if the couple is elderly and are dealing with their pension then you could send them an article about mistakes many retirees make with their money.

You could also congratulate those who have made a positive step with their investment or spending habits. For example if a client who previously had a problem with taking risks in investments undertakes such a venture you could by them a book concerning the book. No matter how small the act may be it will be appreciated more than you think. Pleasing the clients is advertising you through their mouths.

Although it is true that everybody will ultimately need a professional in finance planning it is important to note that there is an ocean of such out there. Marketing for financial advisors is very achievable. Do not be frugal in getting yourself out there.
