Free - Financial Adviser Client Segmentation Tool
Late last year, we introduced a new tool for members to help advisers better understand their client base through key segments. Once segments are set up in the tool, advisers can easily modify parameters to see how small changes can significantly impact their revenue and time.

We also released a free version that, while less detailed, lets users quickly explore the tool, adjust their client base, and see immediate results.

Over recent weeks we have seen an upturn in the number of views of this tool. Feedback indicates that many advice businesses are steadily reassessing their client base, against increasing time pressures and risk. This tool can assist with that process.

Below is an image of the main charts of the free version of Client Segmentation Tool, and you can click through to access the tool and also see a short video and the initial blog post. Happy business planning!

You can also access a more detailed version by joining our Members Lounge.
