Amanda will be Speaking on the following:
MARKETING MAKEOVER – 2pm
Client referrals are the most effective form of acquisition. But with a generation gap between your existing and prospective client bases, how can this work? What are the alternative marketing strategies for targeting Millennial clients? What do Millennials want from a financial planner, and how can you best convert that initial meeting into an ongoing relationship?
THE UNTAPPED MARKET – 4pm
Platinum and silver look the same but are vastly different in terms of value, due to their level of supply. The same is true of advisory clients: while platinum clients are more lucrative, they are in short supply. What about the vast pool of silver clients, who will grow in value to the adviser? How are you accessing this untapped market to ensure the growth of your business?
