7 Reasons why Financial Planners struggle to attract leads
Kirk Lowe, Financial Services brand expert at Tactibrand, and founder of Financial Marketing University shares his big 7 reasons that are holding Financial planners back from generating consistent and predictable leads.
The big takeaway from Kirks article is this:
On my company website, TactiBrand.com, I get 4-6 form submissions a year. In contrast, I get 2,000+ downloads of my papers. I get thousands who read my blog posts every month and who also listen to my podcasts, Mod Marketing. I get most of my inquiries via LinkedIn messages.
The value of my content drives my ability to generate leads. I tend to “give” way more than I “ask”.
The resistance to share information seems to happen often and for various reasons. One of which is fear someone is going to steal your ideas or method or approach but the truth is if you’re not sharing it then you are minimising your marketing impact. It can be compared to winking in the dark, or not passing out your business card when you’re in the midst of a group of ideal clients. This will be a change in mind set for many and it’s really about using opportunity to establish and enhance your credibility and to build trust as a Financial Planner. This is so that you can ask for bigger things: bigger referrals, bigger commitment – start giving small so you can ask big.
