As a financial adviser, you don't need to be told how competitive your industry is. Since the retail distribution review (RDR), advisers face increased pressure to demonstrate their worth. Even the Association of British Insurers' Code of Conduct, which highlights the value of retirement advice, is a double-edged sword -- encouraging clients to shop around for financial advice as well as products.
Stay ahead of the competition
To make sure your annuity clients stay loyal, you need to offer them the best rate you can as efficiently as you can. Or risk them going to the competition.
The good news is that online portals now offer an extended set of questions. More questions mean more personalised -- and often more competitive -- quotes for your clients.
Even better, you only need to fill out the quote request once to get instant results back from a range of providers.
