What your clients expect and want from financial advice services might not be exactly as you think, especially regarding service processes. Pinning down the most common demands and requirements is essential if you want to enhance overall client experiences and keep them coming back.</p> <p>In this post, we’ll be expanding on this further with the best ways to uncover clients’ needs in the financial services industry. And as always, you can <a href="/contact">contact WEBPRO Adviser</a> for tailored help and support.</p> <h3>Why you need to uncover client needs</h3> <p>As already mentioned, the overarching benefit of uncovering client needs is to improve your service. But there are additional benefits, especially in the financial services industry where so much business comes from referrals, and where bespoke customer service is so important.</p> <p>If you can make your current clients as happy and satisfied as possible, they’re much more likely to come back to you when they need further financial services, which is highly likely as they move through stages of life (e.g. buying a home, taking out insurance, pensions, etc.).</p> <p>Moreover, they’re more likely to refer their friends and family to your business, which typically makes up a large part of lead generation in the industry. On top of this, satisfied clients are more likely to leave positive reviews online, which is good for your website’s SEO ranking. And you guessed it, therefore generate more website leads as well.</p> <h3>How to uncover client needs</h3> <p>The best way to learn your clients’ exact needs and expectations is to follow up with them after you’ve provided them with a service. You need to ask clients that have received a full service what they enjoyed most about the service, and areas where you can improve.</p> <p>Using surveys is typically the best way of asking these questions. You can use closed and open-ended questions to understand how they experienced your service. If you start to see similar answers on where to improve, you should consider making adjustments to this part of your service. You could even get technical with statistics to understand what common answers are considered statistically significant regarding the number of people surveyed, and which ones aren’t.</p> <p>You may need to adapt surveys for clients who used different services. As your processes may be different depending on the service, there might be a need to use different survey questions.</p> <h3>Platforms to create surveys</h3> <p>There are scores of platforms where you can create a free survey such as Mailchimp and SurveyMonkey. Once your survey is ready, you then simply send clients an email with the link to complete the it.</p> <p>Many clients ask us how can they encourage people to take the time to fill out the survey, and our advice is:</p> <ul> <li>Don’t make the survey too long&nbsp;</li> <li>Think about what you really want to know so questions are relevant and to the point&nbsp;</li> <li>Test your survey with a pilot survey before launching so there is no misunderstanding&nbsp;</li> <li>Provide good customer service in the first place, so people want to help you out&nbsp;</li> <li>Incentivise surveys by adding participants to a draw for a redeemable discount in the future. This has the added bonus of bringing clients back for repeat business!</li> </ul> <p>Online surveys are good because they are convenient for the participants. They can fill them out on their schedule at a time to suit them. The alternative is to complete surveys with a quick phone call, but the effectiveness of these is usually dependent on the timing of the call and if the client is available to complete the survey at that moment. Talking to a real person could also discourage more honest feedback.</p> <h3>Survey design at WEBPRO Adviser</h3> <p>Using surveys is a fanatic way to enhance your service and improve client satisfaction. This is especially important when businesses rely on client referrals frequently, such as financial service businesses.</p> <p>But creating an effective survey that provides relevant and useful data isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. Our market research team has already helped scores of financial services businesses to understand client needs and refine their service.</p> <p><a href="/contact">We can assist</a> by creating, testing and launching surveys ready for your clients. We can even help analyse results and help you use the data to refine other areas, such as your <a href="/creative-content">website content</a> and <a href="/financial-marketing">online marketing strategies</a>.</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: *

And how often do you consider ways to improve it? That’s what we’ll be discussing below by identifying the most common stages of a financial service client’s journey and ways of improving it.</p> <p>For further information on any of the topics discussed in this post, <a href="/contact">don’t delay speaking with a WEBPRO Adviser team member</a>. We’re here to help!</p> <h3>What is the client journey?</h3> <p>The client journey could be broken down into different stages, and of course, not every client journey is exactly the same. But we think one of the simplest ways to think about the experience of your client is as follows:</p> <ol> <li>Finding you by searching online or via marketing&nbsp;</li> <li>Landing on your website (either of the above usually results in a website visit)&nbsp;</li> <li>Verifying your business&nbsp;</li> <li>Enquiring about a service&nbsp;</li> <li>Lead management and sale conversion&nbsp;</li> <li>Client retention and possibly referral</li> </ol> <p>In the sections below, we’ve elaborated on each of the above and discussed some ways to improve the client journey at each stage.</p> <h3>1. Make it easier to be found</h3> <p>Unless the prospective client has been referred to you by someone else, they won’t know you exist at the start of their journey. They will search for the type of services you offer online and/or possibly be exposed to one of your marketing campaigns.</p> <p>Improving this aspect of the journey centres around making it easier to be found. You don’t want leads to turn up on your website frustrated and already losing patience. And the best way to ensure this is to not neglect your website’s <a href="/search-engine-optimisation">SEO performance</a> and to ensure <a href="/financial-marketing">marketing campaigns</a> are highly targeted to the right demographics.</p> <h3>2. User website experience</h3> <p>The website experience is arguably one of the most important aspects of their journey. It’s a cornerstone where leads will continue down your sales funnel or jump ship to a competitor’s website.</p> <p>The best website designers consider every design decision around the user’s experience to ensure they easily navigate the site and find the information they need as seamlessly as possible, which is our philosophy here at <a href="/contact">WEBPRO Adviser</a>. On top of this, the user experience can be elevated with <a href="/videography-animation">videos</a>, <a href="/photography">images</a> and <a href="/creative-content">concise copywriting</a>. Many people forget the role of website content in optimising the user experience.</p> <h3>3. Verifying and social proof</h3> <p>Most clients – even those that want to use your services – will verify your business before taking the next step. Scores of studies have been conducted on the likelihood of a website visitor verifying the business elsewhere before continuing, with varying figures quoted from 63% to 90%+ of users seeking third-party reviews or information.</p> <p>Thus, if you’re not creating opportunities to have your services reviewed elsewhere or encouraging reviews from existing clients, you could be losing prospective new clients. You can create more opportunities by verifying your business on review sites like Trustpilot, or by adding your business to Google Business, where reviews are published. On your own website, you should be listing accreditation on team profile pages or similar pages such as your About Us page.</p> <h3>4. First contact</h3> <p>Once the client has decided to get in touch, you need to make it easy for them to do so. Research suggests that most people don’t like to pick up the phone on the first contact, often opting for email or online submission forms instead. So, make sure you offer as many different ways to communicate with your business as possible, as solely encouraging phone calls might put some prospective clients off.</p> <h3>5. Lead management and conversion</h3> <p>Once a client gets in touch with you, they’ve become a warm lead and a real opportunity to acquire their business. This part of the client journey should focus on two things:</p> <ol> <li>Clear and concise information</li> <li>Efficiency</li> </ol> <p>Ensure you provide answers to the questions they’re asking with no stone left unturned. Leads might be put off if you withhold information or aren’t transparent about your service. The other important aspect is to provide this information swiftly. The longer you wait to reply, the more chance the lead will contact a competitor. They might have already contacted a competitor, and in that case, you want to respond first.</p> <p>If your business is being overrun by (the same type of) enquiries or low-quality leads, it could be worthwhile adding <a href="/creative-content">new content</a> to service pages and a <a href="/live-chat">live chat feature</a> to your site. A live chat feature could provide immediate answers to website users, which also reduces admin hours spent replying to enquiries.</p> <h3>6. Client retention</h3> <p>Last but not least, how are you maintaining a relationship with clients and encouraging repeat business and referrals? Email marketing is an effective way to do this, especially if your emails provide real value that the client will want to read. You might include tips and advice for free, making them feel part of an exclusive group because they’re your client.</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' -->

business email? If you’re still using a Gmail account or equivalent to communicate with clients, you could be losing business each month. Join us as we discuss if and why you may need a business email account. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <h3><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>What counts as a business email?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></h3> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>A <a href="/email-services">business email</a> is an email address that is personalised with a business name after the “@” symbol. They usually connect with your business’s website domain name. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>For example, the email address markceo@examplefinancial.com is a business email, whereas markexamplefinancial@gmail.com is not. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Business emails are not free and need to be paid for, usually as a subscription service each month or year in the same way you pay for a website domain name. The cost of a business email address can vary between around £3-£35 per month, depending on which service you choose and how much storage you receive. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <h3><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Do I need a business email?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></h3> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>If you are a legitimate financial services business, you should have a <a href="/email-services">business email</a> address. There are some professionals who can get away without one, such as some sole traders and freelancers outside of finance, but even then, it would still be better to have a business email address. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <h3><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Why do I need a business email?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></h3> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>There are many reasons why any financial services providers should have a <a href="/email-services">business email</a> address, even if they are working alone. Here are four of the best reasons:</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <ol> <li><span><span>Having a professional email address maintains a professional image. Without one, you can look like an amateur, and people may even question your legitimacy as a financial services business</span></span></li> <li><span><span>Using your website domain as your business email address can provide a link to your <a href="/our-ifa-template-designs">website</a> and increase traffic</span></span></li> <li><span><span>Email accounts that you have never emailed before are more likely to mark non-business emails as spam, which could lose you business</span></span></li> <li><span><span>Owning multiple business email addresses can help direct clients to the right department. For example, you may have info@examplefinancial.com for enquiries and complaints@examplefinancial.com for complaints</span></span></li> </ol> <h3><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Connecting your email with your brand</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></h3> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>As mentioned, your professional <a href="/email-services">email</a> address should reflect your business name or domain name, which may be the same. As long as you have chosen a name that matches your brand and avoids the common branding pitfalls, your business email address should be a success. But if you haven’t chosen wisely, that bad decision starts to transcend through other parts of your business, including email addresses. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>This is another reason why it is smart to opt for <a href="/logo-design-and-branding">branding services</a> when choosing a name or domain name. <a href="/contact">WEBPRO Adviser</a> offers these services exclusive to financial service businesses. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <h3><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Add a professional email signature</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></h3> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>There are other ways you can make your <a href="/email-services">emails</a> more professional, such as adding a professional <a href="/logo-design-and-branding">email signature</a>. The best ones don’t just sign off each email in style and save you time, but they also include links to your business <a href="/our-ifa-template-designs">website</a>, <a href="/social-media-marketing">social handles</a> and more. <a href="/contact">Our professionals</a> can assist with on-brand email signatures for you and your team.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-header-image--blog-entry.html.twig * field--node--field-header-image.html.twig * field--node--blog-entry.html.twig * field--field-header-image.html.twig * field--image.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_formatter' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/image/templates/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/image.html.twig' --> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2022-04/Blog%20Header_2.jpg" width="1920" height="450" alt="Graphic of a person showing an email" typeof="foaf:Image" /> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/image.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/image/templates/image-formatter.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-blog-image--blog-entry.html.twig * field--node--field-blog-image.html.twig * field--node--blog-entry.html.twig * field--field-blog-image.html.twig * field--image.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_formatter' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/image/templates/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/image.html.twig' --> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2022-04/Blog%20Listing_2.jpg" width="1024" height="775" alt="Graphic of a person showing an email" typeof="foaf:Image" /> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/image.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/image/templates/image-formatter.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-post-excerpt--blog-entry.html.twig * field--node--field-post-excerpt.html.twig * field--node--blog-entry.html.twig * field--field-post-excerpt.html.twig * field--text-with-summary.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>If you are a legitimate financial services business, you should have a business email address.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-blog-category--blog-entry.html.twig * field--node--field-blog-category.html.twig * field--node--blog-entry.html.twig * field--field-blog-category.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/4" hreflang="en">Customer Experience</a></div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-tags--blog-entry.html.twig * field--node--field-tags.html.twig * field--node--blog-entry.html.twig * field--field-tags.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div> <div>Client Communication</div> <div>Domains</div> <div>Graphic Design</div> <div>Logo Design &amp;
