PRACTICE CLIENT PROPOSITION TOOLKIT Module 2 Module 2 In this module of the “Own your Practice RDR Toolkit” we explore the key elements of a compelling client proposition and consider what high net worth clients really want, need and value. clients value, do lots of it and get rich!” Learning outcomes: • Where many advisers are today • Evaluating your current proposition • The fundamental problem • What clients say they want • • • Some tools to help • Actions for implementation CREATING YOUR COMPELLING CLIENT PROPOSITION What do I get for my money? Post RDR, this is a question that clients will begin to ask with increasing frequency. And, it’s not an unreasonable question. In a more transparent pricing environment where advice charges have to be agreed with the client (not set by providers), it is essential that you have a compelling answer to this question. Clients will not be prepared to pay to be sold to. A product sale mentality will no longer work. It has to be about making a real, adviser will be critical. A clear documented client proposition, which explains to the client what you are going to do for them and the range of services you Your proposition needs to be written in language the client will understand and needs to explain, not just the service elements, but Where are many advisers today? genuinely value. Coach (as in attack, rather than outrageously rude!) for the Seattle Seahawks, the American football team. In his work with advisers, Steve explains that the Seahawks fans really weren’t interested in the technicalities of each individual play, or how many hours had moving towards the opposition goal line, ten yards at a time, they were happy. The how was irrelevant. I agree with Steve that in © Liberty Group Ltd 2015. All Rights Reserved

Module 2 3OWN YOUR
PRACTICE CLIENT PROPOSITION TOOLKIT Evaluating your current proposition Many advisers seem to struggle to create a high value client proposition that allows them to deliver on a consistent basis. The starting point is to take a step back and think long and hard about what you already do for your clients and how much value those things add from the client’s perspective. Here are some quick questions to get you thinking about what you do, how you do it and whether it might be perceived as compelling by clients (and introducers): • What do you currently do for clients and how consistently is it delivered? • What degree of variation is there across the business? • What is said to clients at the point of sale/advice? • • As a client, would my experience be the same irrespective of which adviser I happened to be working with? • Do clients understand your proposition and what they can expect from you? • • Could an informed third party easily and readily identify a potential “ideal client”? • experience and the impact that these have on their lives? • Do you provide some “value” in advance by providing assessment tools, that assist clients and potential clients to pinpoint their core problems? • Is your proposition compelling to you? Do you believe in it, even on the days when others don’t? • How are you investing to make sure that you stay ahead of client needs and requirements in order to ensure that you continue to provide outstanding service and fantastic value for money? Answering these questions will at least help you to identify where the gaps are in your proposition and your ability to deliver it time after time after time. The fundamental problem In reality, in my experience, advisers often deliver service elements that their clients simply don’t want or frankly don’t need. Reams of fund factsheets at annual review meetings, for example, would be a case in point. Whilst the odd detail-conscious client might value such information I would controversially suggest that most won’t. Often this income or fees. Whilst I’m no compliance expert, I don’t accept that either is the case. The impact of providing services that clients don’t really need, want or value (or not providing services that they do!), is illustrated in the table below, which is adapted from Karl Albrecht’s “Client Satisfaction Window”. Client doesn’t value Client values Client gets Bulls-eye Client doesn’t get Happy days! Goodbye and good riddance! How do you establish which elements of your service clients value? Simple, just ask them. Whether that is through a formal survey, a client feedback forum, or more informally at a client review meeting really doesn’t matter, though the formal routes will provide more feedback, more quickly. © Liberty Group Ltd 2015.

4 OWN YOUR
PRACTICE CLIENT PROPOSITION TOOLKIT Module 2 Once you’ve collected and collated your feedback, ask yourself the following four questions. 1. What are you currently doing for clients that should be eliminated? 2. What are you doing for clients that should be reduced? 3. What are you doing for clients that should be improved? 4. What should you start doing for clients that you don’t do currently? It is crucial to follow up with clients to communicate the positives and to tell them about the changes you intend to make as a result of their feedback. You should also consider summarising the results for your • Satisfaction • Expectations • Preferences • Interests • Referral Propensity What clients say they want There has been a marked change in the expectations of clients over recent years brought about by the developing culture of changing level of client expectation. Whilst this data is related to the UK market, it does contain some helpful insights and lessons 1. 24% of clients have stopped doing business with a company within the last six months due to a bad client experience. Key reasons include poor product or service quality, rude or disinterested employees and not being able to get hold of someone to solve a problem. (Source: Satmetrix) 2. Only 2% of clients feel that client service experiences generally exceed expectations. A third say they consistently fail to meet expectations. (Source: American Express Client Services Barometer) 3. 73% of consumers end a relationship due to poor service with the main root causes being: having to repeat information, having to wait too long value to the business. (Source: Genesys) The same collection of research suggested that good client service includes: • Listening and understanding what the client is looking for • A friendly approach • Making sure the client feels valued • For example: • 74% of clients are prepared to pay more for a better service (Source: Retail Eyes Report) • More than 50% of clients will spend more on products and services if the service experience was guaranteed to be first class (Source American Express) • Consumers are willing to pay a 7% premium for the privilege of good client service and 70% say they would do more business with (Source American Express) • In a business to business environment “delighted” clients are five times more likely to re-purchase than merely “satisfied” clients (Source: Ipsos Loyalty Report) How do you establish which elements of your service clients value? Simple… just ask them! 74% of clients are prepared to pay more for a better service © Liberty Group Ltd 2015. All Rights Reserved

Module 2 5OWN YOUR
PRACTICE CLIENT PROPOSITION TOOLKIT So what does all this mean for an advisery practice? The data seems to be suggesting that: • Client expectations are rising and are likely to continue to do so • Being easy to deal with and responsive to clients is crucial • Consistently providing a personalised and tailored experience to clients is key Doing so consistently (and it will be those who do, that succeed and prosper in this more demanding post RDR environment) will create competitive advantage and move price much lower down the client’s agenda. World Wealth Report The Cap Gemini/Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management, 2009 World Wealth Report, (a global study of the growth in the number and wealth of individuals classed as High or Ultra High Net Worth), provides further helpful insights into what clients say they want. additional requirements of this key group of clients and how that can help you to decide what changes you need to make to your client propositions, communications and service delivery. What are these clients now looking for from their advisers? The report says: • They want to be more involved in their investment choices • They want more specialised advice • They are demanding full product disclosure and transparency • They are more concerned about the downside risk • They are validating advice through other sources (friends, colleagues and other advisers!) • They want products they can understand • High Net Worth (HNW) clients are clearly looking for a more integrated approach to meeting their needs, built around specialised, independent, transparent, simple advice. Are you really providing these things to your clients or are you just going for the easy or immediate product sale? In their 2012 report “UK Wealth Management at a Tipping Point?” conducted amongst 41 CEOs across the wealth management sector and 300 High Net Worth individuals, KPMG found a discernable trend amongst investors towards managing their portfolios themselves. The research also suggested that investors are more: • Rigorous in their dealings with wealth managers – holding them to account for the fees they charge • Curious about robustness of institutions holding their money • Focused on value for money • Sceptical about pricing and product • Willing to use low cost asset classes • Willing to run portfolios on “execution only” platforms • • • Willing to split their portfolios (and at much lower levels) • Price sensitive towards Total Expense Ratios They are also demonstrating a greater desire to understand what they are paying for Clients want improved reporting and more frequent updates © Liberty Group Ltd 2015.

PRACTICE CLIENT PROPOSITION TOOLKIT Module 2 MAPPING THE CLIENT JOURNEY Helping the client to see what your advice process looks like and involves, by mapping the typical stages of the client journey from the moment an initial enquiry is received all the way through to the point where the advice has been fully implemented, is a great way to create a really high quality experience that feels personal to each client, but is supported by a consistent, scalable and repeatable process. The crucial thing to remember is to look at the whole journey from the client’s perspective. Climb inside the mind and skin of your client and create the sort of experience you’d like to have, if you were them. An example of this is shown below with each step described so that the client understands what is involved at each stage. market to identify suitable solutions. We will also create a recommended investment portfolio tailored to your goals and tolerance for risk, taking any existing arrangements or assets into account. As you can appreciate, with the work involved, this stage can take a number of weeks.

PRESENT RECOMMENDATIONS Making sure that everything stays on track is every bit as important as the recommendations and their implementation .

ONGOING REVIEW SERVICE our services and process and outline our charges so that you are clear about our fees. The purpose of this meeting is to help you make an informed decision about whether we are the right adviser for you. If you decide to engage our services, we will then complete our client agreement and ask you for a 50% deposit in respect of the planning work and start gathering all the data we need. INITIAL MEETING to do is sign the forms, but unfortunately, where your medical history is involved, we have to leave those questions to you. We will submit any applications and paperwork to the relevant providers and track the progress of each application regularly and keep you informed throughout. We will also check that your instructions have been implemented accurately and that all the documentation received is correct. IMPLEMENTATION © Liberty Group Ltd 2015. All Rights Reserved

Module 2 7OWN YOUR
PRACTICE CLIENT PROPOSITION TOOLKIT revenue stream, be at the core of your client proposition. I always urge our consulting clients to see their proposition as their promise; a promise that should never be broken. But what are the key elements of a compelling client proposition? 1. Frequency of meetings How often will you sit down with clients to review their plan/investments/situation? For lower level clients or those with simple years) is likely to be perfectly reasonable and acceptable. For wealthier clients or those whose circumstances are more complex, then half yearly, or even quarterly might be more appropriate. I have one IFA client who sees his top client every month! It might also be appropriate to conduct client reviews over the phone (or Skype) where client revenues don’t justify face-to-face, or where that approach suits the client. 2. Accessibility Outside of formal reviews, what level of adviser access will each client segment be entitled to? Can they phone you or email you whenever they need to? For some clients direct access to you whenever required will be highly valued. For others, you might want to direct them to your team initially, so that you only pick up those tasks that they can’t handle. Also consider clients? Clearly if your very best client phones you with an urgent matter, you’ll probably drop everything to deal with it. 3. Reporting format Remembering what the above research tells us about what clients want, it’s important to ensure that your client review reporting format recognises their needs and preferences. For me, too many advisers “bet their business on the market” and focus solely on investment performance, which clearly they cannot control. Reporting focused on the goals the client is trying to achieve is much more likely to reassure clients that everything is on track and under control and that you have their goals, right at the centre of your thoughts. 4. Services advice, which might be as simple as ensuring clients have made the most of all the allowances and exemptions available to them. You might conduct an annual savings and debt review to ensure that their cash deposits are working as hard as possible. You might share strategic updates and end of year tax information with the client’s accountant. Even if you use an outsourced investment solution you’ll likely be monitoring the performance of each model investment portfolio. My guess is that you probably already do all of these things and possibly more, and that’s my point. thinking carefully about everything you do for clients right now, day in day out. It’s about recognising all the value within what you currently do, packaging that up and making it tangible. How do you make it tangible? Write it down! Create a document that explains what you will provide, which helps them to recognise and appreciate the value and tells them what they can (and can’t) expect. wasted on others. intend to provide for your very best, highest revenue clients. Let’s call them your “A Class” clients. Class” clients and then, if appropriate, repeat to create your “C Class” service proposition. Once you think each proposition makes sense, ask yourself these four questions: 1. Is it compelling? (Does it explain the value you deliver, not just the service) 2. Are you in complete control of the delivery? 3. adviser accessibility)? 4. Recognise the value of everything you do and make it tangible © Liberty Group Ltd 2015. All Rights Reserved
