Just read about an article published in the January issue of Investment Advisor magazine several points in an article called Stepping Up - How the best advisors take their firms to the next level jumped off the page.
Compared to the market as a whole, firms that dominated their market:
-
Are 60% more likely to have annual sales goals
-
Are twice as likely to use business development specialists
-
Are 30% more likely to proactively seek referrals
-
Secure one-third more clients through strategic partners
-
Are three times more likely to have formal agreements with referral partners
Are you doing all of these - any of these?
Interesting to think about...
