Valuing the TIME you save for clients
by Tony Vidler        Valuing time is something we all do…or know we should do.  And one of the most valuable things that financial advisers do for clients is to save the clients own time.   How powerful would it be to quantify that in dollar terms for a client?   Everyone knows the maxim […]

by Tony Vidler          If you want ideal prospects to choose you over any number of other highly qualified professional advisers then you must have the ability to succinctly articulate what makes working with you special.  Why should they choose you?     This is often referred to as having a “Unique Selling Proposition”, or […]

Describe Your Advice Services In Practical Terms To Get More Buy-In
by Tony Vidler        Advice should, almost by definition, be “practical”.  Your advice services should be practical in that can be applied in the real world to achieve real differences, and any advice in any of your areas of expertise should be a clear course of action that a client can use to achieve a […]

Be like the Private Banker in order to become invaluable
by Tony Vidler          To become invaluable, emulate “the Private Bankers” when it comes to combatting the multiple pressure points of rising consumer expectations, technology-driven and cost-focussed solutions, and the trend for “self management” in all things by clients.   I had the pleasure of spending a little time with Dr Phillip M.

What Problems Do You Solve?
by Tony Vidler        In the struggle for professionals to define a value proposition asking “What problems do we solve?”  is probably the best place to begin. It is a simple question for sure, but it cuts to the chase.  It helps us zero in on what it is we actually achieve for clients.  We can […]

Is Your Value Proposition Consistent With Your Strategy?
by Tony Vidler        Two areas advisers wrestle with forever seem to be creating a value proposition and creating a strategy.  There is a way of  helping to define both in broad terms quickly, and that carries the massive advantage of ensuring that the two are aligned.  Your value proposition should reinforce where you are […]

When – and how – To Discount Your Fees
by Tony Vidler        As a general rule I don’t recommend that a professional discount fees as it tends to undermine their entire value proposition whilst also creating a mindset for the client that the adviser is a price-taker rather than the price-setter.   Discounting fees usually moves a professional from being an expert with […]
