Verbal Buying Signals on Video or Phone

January 24, 2022 16:10

We’re all very used to picking up non-verbal signals to help us move the sale along. Watching body language or people-watching is a pleasurable thing to do. Still, we don't have this luxury in this day and age of online video meetings. So we have to tune in and focus on their face, voice and words more efficiently. Here’s how. Continue Reading

January 17, 2022 10:42

One of the advisers I most admired in my career was a broker called Joss. Behind her desk, in eye view of her clients, was a collage of thank you cards from all her satisfied clients.

Match their Voice to Maximise Rapport

December 20, 2021 12:52

One of my favourite accents comes from Southern Louisiana, USA. Slow, drawling, and rhythmic. Try to copy it, and it sounds terrible. Like the Ant Hill Mob driver in the Whacky Races or Tinker in Speed Buggy. YouTube both of those that if you don’t remember. This person, probably from New Orleans, has grown up with others from the same Continue Reading

What’s “Under the Bonnet” of a DIP?

December 06, 2021 11:55

2014 witnessed the Mortgage Market Review. The regulator's knee jerk reaction to the causes of the financial crash, which occurred just 6 years earlier. It tightened affordability rules and rid lenders of their love of multipliers of income, which they had cherished for many years. It brought tight affordability guidelines and based payments around a stressed interest rate rather than Continue Reading

How to Prevent Zoom Fatigue?

November 22, 2021 11:08

If you’ve ever travelled long-haul on a plane and were condemned to an economy seat in the middle of a row of 4 spaces, you know how uncomfortable this can be. The longer the haul, the worse it is. I once flew 8 hours like that. Cramped, knees hurting, no sleep, battling the arm-rest with your neighbour, people crawling over Continue Reading

MMT – Modern Monetarist Theory

October 11, 2021 11:47

Undoubtedly, you've heard of monetarist economic policy and fiscal economic policy? Polls apart.

September 20, 2021 12:29

Plenty of financial advisers, wealth planners and mortgage brokers run public seminars to attract new clients.

The Modern BDM’s “Why”

September 13, 2021 14:36

This summer, I've seen countless photos of lender BDMs on British holidays with their families announcing this is the reason "why" they do what they do.

Don’t Fight It – How to Embrace and Benefit from the Changes in Our Industry

September 06, 2021 10:37

If you think Financial Services is heavily regulated, think again. The football league has the SGSA which sounds like a police unit.

How to Use Facebook to Generate Leads

August 09, 2021 12:50

Facebook. Love ‘em or hate them. US politicians seem to have it in for them at the moment, blaming them for everything – stirring racial tensions to encouraging anti-vacs.

The advertising is different to other online Continue Reading
