Many financial adviser firms don’t have marketing strategies. In fairness they may not employ any marketing people so it might not be a priority. But the global crisis has given us a time to reflect. Coming out of the crisis with a simple written marketing strategy could be a strong foundation for growth.

Learning objectives:
- The power of a clearly defined offer
- Why marketing strategy doesn’t have to be complex – you can do it on a few pages
- Nailing your offer, setting goals and planning marketing activity
- Keeping marketing simple. Engage. Don’t enrage.

In a crisis people remember and value those that kept in touch. Any adviser firm that curls up and wishes this crisis will all go away without engaging with its clients is only storing up trouble for the future.
