The Challenge: Sales in Financial Services
Selling financial services is complex. You're managing long sales cycles, multiple touchpoints, complex products, and relationships that require careful nurturing. Your advisors need to track detailed information about prospects and clients, manage their pipeline effectively, and stay on top of follow-ups—all while spending most of their time building relationships, not managing spreadsheets. Many financial services firms struggle with disconnected systems, lost opportunities due to poor follow-up, lack of visibility into the sales pipeline, and difficulty scaling their sales process as they grow.
