  2. What are we trying to accomplish? • Create more sales • Get advisors to use established, effective sales presentations • Train advisors on how to sell with and use the software • Create awareness of the software • Provide Sales Ideas for Advisors Merchandising Your Financial Sales Tools

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. What we’ve done so far.. • **Separation between Conceptual and Analytical Tools** • Don’t try to force ETA down an advisor’s throat • They don’t feel comfortable • Learning is too time consuming • Invest a lot of time with each of their clients/prospects • Start with Conceptual Tools • Tools are high-level, so advisor’s limited knowledge is enough • Only thing to learn is a sales talk • High level is reusable with all their clients/prospects Merchandising Your Financial Sales Tools

  6. The Big Idea: Build “IT” into Your Practice! • New Advisors - Repeatable Sales Process • Experienced Advisors - Own MORE of Your Client’s Business • Leverage Existing Tools: • RRM: “Build Retirement Planning into Your Practice” • ETC: “Build Estate Planning into Your Practice” • Life Goals: “Build Financial Planning into Your Practice” • BC/BV/KP: “Build Business Planning into Your Practice” • QPDA: “Build IRA Planning into Your Practice” Merchandising Your Financial Sales Tools
