8 Seconds to Get – or Lose – Your Prospect. Maybe less.

by Tony Vidler You will get or lose your prospect – your potential future client – in just 8 seconds….well, actually it is a lot less than that. The clock is ticking…and a lot faster than you realise. In reality you have 3 seconds or less to get them to engage with you and […]

You Deliver Value, So Why Not Promise Value Up-Front?

by Tony Vidler Why not promise value up-front if you know you can deliver that? It sems an obvious question to ask, yet I find myself continually asking it of financial advisers.

WHERE do you add value?

by Tony Vidler In the continual search for differentiation strategies and creating a strong sense of “value received” by clients one of the ways to think about how to stand out is to consider where you choose to try and add value in the prospects buying path. There are a number of fairly […]

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 […]

The Shortcut To Creating Trust

by Tony Vidler Simply creating trust with a prospective client is the initial hurdle to having them engage in the advice process. To be fair the required level of trust initially is relatively low – can they trust you not to waste their time…can they trust that you really know what you are doing….can […]
