Your online credibility is more important than your offline reality in some cases.  This is especially true when it comes to the path consumers take to determine a financial advisor to trust their assets.  79% of consumers believe that online is very or extremely important on which financial advisor to engage.  Think your current customers are loyal and not looking around – over 90% said they would consider a relationship with a new financial advisor.  Our session will focus on how an FA should position themselves’ online to meet the expectations of customers.
