2. Making
the right
connection
Today’s advisory process is not about selling products,
it’s about having conversations with clients, it’s about
the advice, it’s about the relationship...and at Sammedia
we believe this is a model that should be carried right
through to the technology you use.
Our solutions focus technology around your clients,
forming the connections that will drive your business
forward. We help you to deliver service that is no longer
simply about ‘managing’ your client, it’s no longer just
about the transactions you make; it’s about collaborating
with your clients. Sammedia’s solutions are absolutely
focused on ensuring that you can really connect with
your clients and keep that conversation going 24/7. Our
solutions are client-centric but their outcome is very
much adviser-centric.
At Sammedia we put your clients at the very heart of
your technology approach, allowing you to put your
clients at the very heart of your business.
3. Your client’s
entire
financial life
Moneyinfo marries your clients’ online banking with a
new approach to portfolio reporting, providing your
clients with a unique online service where they can view
up-to-date information on their entire financial life. All
under your firm’s brand.
It allows your clients to view their disparate online
banking balances and transactions, from banks, credit
cards and loans alongside information you provide
such as plan and portfolio valuations, and it does so
transparently with a stunning, client-friendly interface
that is so intuitive, it drives your clients to enter more
information about their personal finances.
By providing an aggregated view of a client’s entire
financial life, the fact-finding process is transformed from
a static ‘guess-find’ taken at one point in your client’s
life, to one that is constantly changing; a self-updating
fact-find that records real income and expenditure
alongside real changes in wealth. Moneyinfo allows you,
the adviser, to react to changes in your client’s financial
circumstances as and when they happen and in the
process, deliver an ongoing and cost-effective service.
