Adding Value to Your Risk Advice Process
As we approach a brave new dawn in the financial planning sector, phrases such as “quality of service”, “value proposition”, value of advice” and “fee for service” are uppermost in most financial planners’ minds, but more often than not the risk adviser is perceived as being a separate entity with its head in the sand continuing to knock out a stream of commission based transactions.
