If you’re an adviser looking to refer your protection business, this episode is the one for you! With a background in financial advice himself, almost 10 years ago Dale saw a clear gap in the market for a protection specialist firm to assist advisers with the protection conversation. 
In this episode Wayne and Hazel are joined by Dale, owner of Pure Protect and Stonebridge Protect to explore what key skills are required when it comes to creating great protection referrals instead of it being a tick box exercise. During filming we were faced with the challenge of noisy building works outside and despite this, Dale gives some fantastic insights in to what advisers can be doing ahead of the consumer duty coming in to force at the end of this month. 

We cover:
- The risks advisers face if they don’t review their protection process ahead of the new consumer duty rules coming into force
- What are the elements that go in to creating the perfect protection referral?
- A claim’s story which could have been very different had the customer not been seen by a specialist 
- What makes a good protection adviser
- The commercial benefits of partnering with a protection specialist

Ep 9 - Referring your protection business

With consumer duty coming down the tracks, it is essential for advisers to start planning how they will bring protection into their conversations especially when we consider the cross-cutting rule “Avoid foreseeable harm to retail customers”. 

But what if you are an adviser who doesn’t have time? What if you haven’t sold it for a while? What if you don’t have access to a range of products? In this episode, Hazel & Wayne are joined by Steve Johnson and Nic Hopkins the owners of Real Life Advice, who may just have the answers! 
Nic and Steve used their background in sales, training, and development to set up Real Life Advice, a protection firm providing advice to clients on all of their protection insurance needs. 

We cover:
- Nic & Steve’s journey to setting up their business 
- What they believe has been key to their success
- How Nic & Steve ensure clients get a streamlined and consistent service  
- The benefits in using a protection specialist for your clients protection needs

We cover:
- Neil’s secrets to protection success and sales tips
