Financial Advisor Sales Training
Selling is a key requirement for successful financial advisors because they must grow their relationships and book of business to thrive.
A successful financial advisor is skilled at asking questions to uncover their prospect’s goals and issues, they are adept at communicating to the prospect/client the problem or gap in his or her financial plan that exists, they can properly position the solution, and as a final step, they ask for their business. Of course, sales of services or products must not be made solely to make a sale. The service or product must genuinely help the client.
How skilled are your advisors? We know that a financial advisor who does not have the confidence or the skill to ask the right questions will not be successful. Our Wealth & Investment Sales Training helps your advisors and private bankers become more comfortable with the art of asking questions and having a quality conversation, not with a canned approach, but with a sales process that takes into consideration the practical reality and changes that they encounter in the field. It is essential when your advisors are working with clients on their most important life goals such as retirement, education and life planning, that they have the skills to fully discover the client’s desires, preferences, risk tolerances and family issues. Successful financial advisors put the interests of their clients first and are skilled at helping their customers determine and achieve their financial goals.
