Here are some ideas to make this chart even more useful.
Consider:
- placing a product list or chart like the two above in each client file
- asking your client to put a check mark beside the products she owns
- placing another symbol beside products you’ve discussed with the client, but they’ve chosen not to buy (yet)
- noting the products on the list clients have bought from other advisors or institutions
- explaining that these products are also available through you
- mentioning that these products are also available to members of their family
- saying that like a family doctor, you refer clients when an insurance specialist is required
- planning to have all your client meetings with this new process eight months before each client’s birthday
A multi-product sales plan need not be any more onerous than a gap analysis supported with a strategy and tactical plan.
