Most financial advisors make the same promises, making it hard to tell the difference between them. How can you set yourself apart? How can you convince prospects or site visitors right off the bat that you provide the exact service they\u2019re looking for? The answer is a website branded with a unique financial advisor value proposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cValue proposition\u201d is a statement that refers to the value a financial professional promises to deliver to prospects should they choose to become a client. A unique value proposition will set you apart and help make a connection right away with prospects that visit your website.<\/p>\n

A majority of financial advisor websites are often missing a unique value proposition that speaks to who they are as a firm and what clients they work with. When it comes to your website, the basics just don\u2019t cut it anymore.<\/p>\n

If you want to stay competitive as a financial advisor, keep your current clients engaged, and attract new prospects, you need more than a digital brochure. If you have a website and aren\u2019t seeing the type of return you were hoping for, it might be because you\u2019re lacking something that sets you apart.<\/p>\n

Why Do You Need a Value Proposition?<\/h3>\n

Sixty-five percent of prospects that feel an emotional connection to an advisor\u2019s brand say it\u2019s because \u201cthey care about people like me.\u201d Your value proposition is what shows that prospect that you care. You work with your clients every day. You understand who they are and what they care about. Your marketing absolutely needs to reflect that.<\/p>\n

You need to make your prospects and clients feel they have found their match. By discovering what is important to your clients and then explaining why you are the best solution, you create a strong reciprocal relationship.<\/p>\n

When you emphasize why you care about your clients and do it well, you don\u2019t need to worry about competition because your clients will want to keep doing business with you and keep referring you. You\u2019ll keep demonstrating to prospects that you\u2019re the right advisor for them.<\/p>\n

Aligning Your Service Offering with Client Needs<\/h3>\n

The first step in creating your value proposition is aligning what you offer and advertise with what your ideal client is looking for.<\/p>\n

You can break down your service offering into the following:
\n1. Gain creators – meaning what provides the gains your clients are seeking
\n2. Pain relievers – meaning the services you provide that alleviate common pains
\n3. Products and services – The ways you help customers complete their tasks or \u201cjobs\u201d<\/p>\n

Match these elements of your offering to the pains, gains, and jobs of your ideal client. It is imperative that those two lists align. If they don\u2019t, you need to take a look at how you\u2019re marketing your services and make sure they communicate how you fulfill clients\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve got that covered, you need to reconsider what audience you\u2019re targeting. You could have the best services out there, but if you aren\u2019t aligning those with your clients and prospects you\u2019re trying to reach, then it won\u2019t matter. If a prospect or client doesn\u2019t see the value for them in what you have to offer, they\u2019ll go somewhere else. That is why it\u2019s so important that your value proposition is geared toward the right audience.<\/p>\n
