Rashmi is a financial advisor based in Ontario who helps individuals, families, and business owners protect their wealth, plan for retirement, and create long-term financial security.
Like many new advisors entering the industry, she was trying to build a client base while also growing a team and establishing herself in a highly competitive marketplace.
Before joining Fintello, Rashmi relied primarily on referrals, networking events, and her natural market to generate opportunities.
Like many new advisors, she was encouraged to approach friends and family for business and recruiting opportunities. However, she found the process uncomfortable and unsustainable.
When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional networking and face-to-face prospecting, generating qualified meetings became even more difficult.
She knew that if she could not develop a predictable system for generating clients and recruits, staying in the business long term would become increasingly challenging.
Rather than continuing to rely on referrals and personal contacts, Rashmi wanted a system that would allow her to consistently generate opportunities from people she had never met before.
She was looking for a modern prospecting strategy that could help her build both her client base and recruiting pipeline without feeling pressured to constantly approach friends and family.
She implemented the Fintello client acquisition system focused on prospecting, recruiting, social media marketing, and appointment generation.
