It’s a problem we’ve seen time and time again. You’re a crackshot advisor who provides expert wealth management services to their clients. Trouble is, new clients are nowhere to be found, at least, to the degree you originally envisioned. It’s one thing to be the best in the biz. Letting people know you’re the best in the biz, well, that’s a whole ‘nother ball game. With the 50 million other responsibilities and priorities all competing for time in your day-to-day, actually promoting your business can often fall by the wayside. A shame, considering it’s one of the most vital and valuable elements to making your business grow. That’s where a marketing consultant comes in and they’re essential to any successful business (though we may be a teensy bit biased).
A marketing consultant is an advertising professional or team of professionals who are brought in by a business to help bolster their marketing efforts. A consultant researches the business’ desired customer base and develops plans that help them better spread their message and convert potential clients into loyal customers. A good marketing consultant is just as passionate as the business is about bringing in customers and will prove it through expert strategies and tireless dedication to the message.
You’re an expert in the field of wealth management and you have the degrees and certificates to prove it. That means, chances are, you’re probably not an expert in marketing (and if you are, what’s your secret?). That should be reason enough to consider getting help. Marketing consultants eat, sleep and breathe marketing. They know the ins and outs of the field and have the resources and insight to make the most of your brand. They’re also well-connected, able to bring on specialists for anything from search engine optimization to event management. They’ve been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and are ready for any marketing challenge that comes your way.
Because it’s their job also means the marketing consultant can complete tasks and hit milestones much quicker than, say, your summer intern who would be learning how to market your business for the very first time. They have the tools and knowledge of best practices to research and plan faster and thus, providing results faster..
Not only that, but delegating your marketing to an expert frees up your and your team’s time to focus on the most important job, serving your clients.
Like a leaky pipe that you put duct tape around instead of replacing. Sure, it’s the inexpensive option now, but down the line, when that tape rips and your basement floods, you’ll wish you dropped the extra money down on a new pipe.
No, this didn’t suddenly turn into a plumbing blog—the same is true with a marketing consultant. Businesses that try to do their marketing in-house to save money are typically just putting duct tape over the problem, executing half-experienced marketing strategies that are simply good enough. While the frugal investment may look good on paper, down the road, not knowing the nuances of marketing and mishandling a campaign can cost your business customers...and that means lost revenue that could potentially be greater than what it would’ve cost to hire a professional in the first place.
Marketing consultants have been around the block a few times. They know how to discern what’s working and what isn’t and are able to correct it. They provide insight into your customers’ wants and needs and are able to divert strategies into the most profitable channels, ultimately garnering a better return on your marketing investment and eventually paying for themselves.
