The value proposition
Get clients…..keep clients
A value proposition is the DNA of a business that differentiates it from other financial planning businesses
Advisers need to identify that one thing that defines and demonstrates their value to their clients
Understand what prevents your business from delivering its value proposition...then solve it
A fee can be charged when the adding of value is demonstrated
My adviser gives me peace of mind, total clarity and the confidence that my affairs are in good hands…..that’s why I pay for the service
And….it’s about the experience provided by the entire business

Remuneration of advisers by clients (not product providers)
Quality of advice AND clients is critical
Profitability should be a focus

Transition to fees
Understand what it costs to deliver your value proposition when onboarding and looking after clients
Consider how many hours you have available to spend on client activities
Do the numbers to reach a balance between capacity and income generation
Focus on ideal clients
Be clear on the relationships: are you being paid by the client or the product supplier?

In closing…..
“Do less than customers expect and service is seen as bad. Do exactly what customers expect and service is seen as good. But do more than customers anticipate and service is seen as superior.”
Paul Dorrian, Intensive Customer Care
“Do it now. The business obituary pages are filled with planners who waited.”
Harry Beckwith, Selling the Invisible
