Sales Ideas vs. Training • Sales Ideas help advisors: • Get into a “Sales” state of mind vs. “learning/questioning” • See why it’s worth their time to learn the software • Understand which clients would the idea be good for • See how it is going to help them make the sale Merchandising Your Financial Sales Tools
Sales Ideas must be… • Easy – easy for the advisor to understand, easy to take action • Reusable – advisor can leverage the idea among many clients • Informative – needs to have substance • Lucrative – needs to sell product at the end of the day Merchandising Your Financial Sales Tools
