Demonstrating value to clients is one of the most challenging tasks that financial advisors face. The intangibility of financial services and variability from client-to-client make it difficult to establish efficient, repeatable processes.
Born out of these challenges, process-driven selling can help to refine workflows, allowing sellers to focus more on client needs than on administrative tasks.
