About
Business Advisor Network launched this web platform for Registered Advisors to trade prospects in February 2012 for connecting professional advisors with businesses that need your expertise.
Why was the Network started?
For some time we have been asking every advisor we meet “Where does your new work come from?” Over 90% say they rely on referrals to generate prospects for work, BUT only about 2% actually promote, track or manage their referral prospect flow.
Can you imagine how much more real work you would have with the best tools to Find, Engage and Deliver to clients? The Network was started to connect business with experts.
Our mission is to help you find new referral prospects, engage them in real advisory work and deliver your expertise.
Our philosophy…
Find: Finding new Referral Prospects is the first step to sustainable work as a professional advisor. This is the stage you can access now and is delivered using the Referral Prospects Trading Platform and by building your profile to market yourself effectively on the Advisor Directory.
Engage: Next, you need to engage these Referral Prospects in meaningful long term work. Well, some of us are better at engaging clients than others and as I have discovered it is something you can learn. As the Network grows we are partnering to deliver an online solution, that systemises the client engagement process and gives you a far more reliable connection to the client.
Deliver: This is where your core expertise comes to the front! We are all experts at something and the challenges come when we get lured into areas that are not our expertise. Now you can use the power of the Network to find an expert, your clients will be grateful and your own engagement will be more sustained.
Network: Use the power of the brainstrust of advisors to solve that issue for your client, like access a foreign market, find a contact, share information about new consulting models, and so much more….
Why did we develop this Referral Prospect Trading Platform?
Over 80% of small businesses fail in their first few years yet there are 1,000′s of professional advisors that could help. And, just to make it more frustrating, the Advisors struggle to find and engage with the businesses that need the help and match their skills.
What we do is provide a tool to match them together and make that tool available to member based organisations of professionals.
