You have to think differently.
1. Changing client expectations
2. Aging advisors and generational gap
3. Outdated distribution model

therefore valuable, in a digitally-driven society.”

CHALLENGE 2: AGING ADVISORS
AND THE GENERATIONAL GAP
Today’s recruits aren’t going to find you. You have to find them.
FIND RECRUITS WHERE THEY ARE

BUILD THEIR BUSINESS FASTER
“Social media is the
natural tool for me to
reach out to my
contacts to start
building my book of
business.”
– 1st-year Advisor
CHALLENGE 3: TRADITIONAL
DISTRIBUTION MODEL IS OUTDATED
Revenue is directly proportional to distribution.Online direct sales is emerging but selling predominantly simple, low-margin products.
Sell Direct
Commoditized goods and services
purchased mainly on price
Sell Through Trusted Advisor
Complex products and services
that require advice and
explanation
vs.
INTERNET “DIRECT” SELLING vs.
ADVISOR-LED, RELATIONSHIP-BASED SELLING
BUT what if digital weren’t separate from advisor channels?
What if they could combine forces?
THE ADVISOR’S NEW PLAYBOOK
FOR THE SOCIAL ERA
Just like the Yellow Pages, being listed isn’t enough.
We must teach advisors how to grow business on social.
