SALES PROCESS

The Sales Meeting Process outlines a structured approach for engaging and advancing prospects through the sales pipeline for Financial Advisers. The process starts with lead qualification, which can be executed through embedding qualification questions on the website or during an initial phone call.

After qualification, a series of planned tasks, including scheduling the first sales meeting, sending a preparatory video, and proposing solutions, are detailed. The document describes a detailed agenda for the first sales meeting, emphasizing rapport building, discovery, recommendation, and outlining next steps.

Qualification questions and a comprehensive meeting agenda aim to understand the prospect's needs thoroughly, enabling personalized advice and solutions. The process concludes with follow-up meetings and communication to maintain momentum and engagement.
