A common challenge for many financial advisors is converting email subscribers into paying clients. Advisors often lament low open rates, non-responsiveness, and even losing subscribers. However, contrary to these experiences, email marketing remains one of the most effective, efficient, and cost-effective methods to gain new clients.
The Importance of Interaction in Email Marketing
In expanding your firm, you understand the significance of a steady stream of potential clients engaging with your brand. This interaction could be through your firm’s website, social media channels, or more importantly, your email campaigns.
Yet, the common grievance among financial advisors is the apparent lack of conversion from email subscribers. Some even declare that "email is dead." But is it truly nonviable, or could your emails be uninspiring? Are your emails personalized or spam-like?
If you find yourself uncertain about these questions, chances are, you might be entrenched in the antiquated approach to email marketing. Naturally, your email campaigns won’t perform well in that case. So, what's the old way of handling email?
Sending out emails without clear intent.
Disseminating a dull newsletter that merely regurgitates financial market news.
Failing to pique the readers’ curiosity.
Using jargon and being excessively wordy in emails.
Lacking a specific call to action (CTA).
Not directing readers to a dedicated landing page.
Most importantly, trying to teach in your writing instead of shifting perspectives.
Stop Teaching, Start Guiding
The significant pitfall in many financial advisors' marketing strategies, whether email, video, or prospect meetings, is their attempt to teach. But here's the reality: your prospective clients don't need more information.
In the era of Google and endless information at their fingertips, they've already sifted through a deluge of data. Instead of more facts and figures, they need someone to help them make sense of it all. They need a guide to transform raw knowledge into wisdom.
The "new way" of email marketing prioritizes helping your ideal client identify and articulate the problems they're facing, understand the chronic discomfort it's causing, and guide them towards deciding to make a change.
Without this shift in perspective, you run the risk of sabotaging your reputation and jeopardizing your chances of establishing a relationship with your ideal client. The result? Lost opportunities and constant frustration.
The Shift Towards Success
However, if you succeed in transitioning your email marketing approach, you'll stand out from the crowd by directly addressing what your ideal client wants. They're not looking for another teacher; they're searching for a guide.
