SALES DRIVE AUGUST 2020


BACKGROUND

The Issue The Covid crisis has had a devastating impact on the methods, processes, psychology, and the financial and emotional realities of sales in the life assurance space. This is a challenge that needs to be addressed with clarity and confidence for advisers and their clients.


CHALLENGE We Need Sales No business can thrive without sales. The marketplace is distracted by anxieties around life and death, livelihood and unemployment, rising prices, a falling economy, social uncertainty and general negativity. In such an environment, the perceived 'grudgepurchase' of risk and investment products take a back seat when most people are prioritising their share of wallet.


ADVISER VALUE We can position Liberty and its advisers as invaluable guides through the dark forest of the present, with a clear view of genuine and navigable pathways out of the darkness into the light of financial freedom.

OPPORTUNITY


INSIGHT

IT'S A SHITSTORM Advisers and their clients are inundated by a barrage of bad news, self-doubt, financial anxiety, economic uncertainty, social isolation, and the constant noise of overwhelming negativity coming at them from all quarters. These are all terrible but temporary – real life is longer than today – and we have to plan for tomorrow.


GOAL

A REAL BOOST Equip and enhance adviser behaviours towards tackling the Covid reality with all the clarity and confidence of the new brand promise – in it with you – resulting in a boost to morale and sales.


OBJECTIVES EMPOWER Provide inspiration for decisive action Provide insights to inform conversations Support relationship building, upselling and retention
