How Financial Advisors Can Scale Business Without Burnout
Being a financial advisor is a lot of things, but it’s not glamorous.
There can be lots of repetitive conversations, far too much screen time, and a stressful March and April every year.
You want to grow your business…but just sustaining it is a full-time job.
You want to vastly increase your AUM…but it doesn’t feel like there’s enough hours in the day.
But by advertising smarter, you end up working less and succeeding more.
Consider a financial advisor with 100 existing clients averaging $1M in assets each. If he or she increased specialized web traffic by 10%, boosted on-site conversions by 10%, and increased referral rate of highly qualified clients by 10%, this could very well lead to 12 to 13 new clients each with $2M in assets, increasing total AUM by a whopping 25%. It only takes a few points of improvement to yield dramatic results.
That’s where Indigo Marketing Agency comes in.
