Business Adviser to the Advisers

Speaker.

Professional. Practiced. Proficient. Positioned. Personalised.
That’s what you get from every engagement with me, whether that is as a conference speaker, running workshops or delivering training sessions. Renowned for delivering high paced & information packed presentations that are fun – but with lots of practical takeouts for audiences. I don’t just talk about value. I deliver it every time.

Thinker.

I see the world differently to other professionals, and think differently. Strategic insight into how the changes in consumers, technology, marketing and delivery of professional services can result in doing business differently – and better – creates different options for professionals who are looking ahead.

Perhaps the greatest strength is the ability to help define and articulate points of difference that matter – creating value propositions that deliver meaningful positioning and messages to target markets.

Coach.

A great coach has the technical knowledge and competencies to be able to understand quickly where effort or resources  are best applied to achieve extraordinary results.  Balancing up the capability, capacity and opportunity issues of the practice, together with the resources, budgets and desire of the practitioners results in strategies that can work without creating stress.  They also have the skill and acumen to understand what your values, beliefs, strengths and weaknesses are – and how to work with them to achieve the greatest result.

How to introduce a “Guarantee” into your fees
by Tony Vidler     It has been proven repeatedly that providing a guarantee in your fees for prospective clients certainly helps them decide to engage – and it is not a difficult thing to do, even though “guarantee” is a dangerous word for financial advisers.

Why you should think of Prospects as “an Audience”
by Tony Vidler     The dominance of search means prospects will typically first engage with you or your brand because of the content you’ve posted online.  So who is your content for?  It is essential to understand who your audience is.  Maybe even more importantly you must continually think of those prospective future clientele as an audience […]

Talk is cheap…but the returns are fantastic
by Tony Vidler     Word-of-mouth remains the best marketing professionals can use, or get. The next best is “talk”.  Talk to clients and prospects directly.  One-to-one…actually spending time communicating directly with each other…voice to voice…human to human. While I love using digital and leveraging it to communicate to as many people as possible, and it is very […]

How “personal” should your personal service be?
by Tony Vidler     It is our livelihood in many respects, yet one of the vaguest phrases we use is “personal service”.  What is a personal service is not necessarily the same as a personalised service, and what is personal to one client may not be deemed a personal service to another. So how personalised should your […]
