Typical Advisor Offerings • Subscription-based pricing, usually $300-500/month whereby the advisor remotely consults through monthly or quarterly recurring meetings by logging into the dashboard, reviewing trends for a few minutes before the call, then jointly logging in and reviewing with the client for an hour. This is a 2-hour/month investment of your time at most per client. When client needs rescuing or more help, standard consulting rates apply. • Promotional offer, typically a free initial consultation (phone or in person) and often coupled with a custom “Financial Report” derived from the numbers you get from the dashboard. For a time (until we hit capacity), we can run these for you on request. • Reports and Summaries: Sometimes as simple as a blog, others do webinars with the findings from their industry. We’re doing an Advisor Call Wed this week to talk about “Building your Brand” and this is a key component. + an industry affiliation AND a relationship with the top 2 or 3 associations in your industry.
