The best form of Marketing is still Word of Mouth. For example, most people chose their financial advisor through Social Inclusion. Their advisor is someone they know in their Social Circle, or someone who is introduced to them by someone they know.
As a financial advisor, you can double your revenue by:
- Selling more of the people you know (those who are part of your Social Circle).
- Selling more to the people you know (your clients & their family members).
- Getting introductions to people who fit your Ideal Client Profile from clients, centres of influence (COI) and others in your Social Circle.
