Turn $397 Into $5,000—Or More

Every marketing effort you undertake should include a frequent analysis of your return on investment (ROI).

It's a critical approach to running your business, and as an entrepreneur in the financial services industry, I encourage you to apply an ROI analysis to all that you do. So consider this…

Take our urging to heart and bolster your 4th Quarter client service and prospecting strategy starting today. Do the Last-Chance Financial Planning Checklist Campaign.

Follow all directions, tips, insights, templates, and procedures we've pulled together for you. And then look at your ROI in terms of your use of the Last-Chance Checklist Campaign

For the small investment of $397, plus shipping, you're getting a game plan that will lead to:

Increased loyalty and referrals. Beefing up your end-of-year client service by getting in front of clients with the Last-Chance Checklist further cements your connection to your clients. It's a terribly important activity that also sets you up for more referrals. Your $397 investment in the Checklist Campaign is like buying a small insurance policy on client loyalty. Again, consider the ROI.

New clients. If you increase the number of smart communications you have with clients and prospects each year, you're increasing the number of opportunities you have to convert new prospects to new clients. How much is that worth? A typical new account average is $100,000 (and I know many, many advisors whose typical new account average is vastly higher). You can do your own math for your situation. But I'm certain you'll find a very good ROI from the $397 it costs to get the 2014 Last-Chance Financial Planning Checklist Campaign.

Marketing discipline. If there's one key message to share with you about the Checklist Campaign, it is this: By doing this campaign, and others like it, regularly, you're honing your skills and building the supporting marketing infrastructure within your business and team.

You're adding a very valuable asset to your business—core competency in a profitable and effective marketing strategy. The plan to do it, the 2014 Last-Chance Financial Planning Checklist Campaign, is just a $397 investment.

Reduced stress. Let's face it: Clients are very, very antsy these days. Returns are low. Risk is high. The retirement clock is ticking. So it helps in a very meaningful way when clients hear from you in an end-of-the year client service campaign like this one. People want to know their advisor is looking out for them. The price of reduced stress? $397—or just $4.41 a day for the 4th Quarter.

Meaningful 2014. The Checklist Campaign is designed to trigger interactions between you and your clients and prospects. It's meant to give you a chance to identify issues and solve problems before they get too big or worrisome. So it's a chance for you to connect, again, on a deep, professional level. It's why you're in the business, right?
