The average net worth we worked with so far is hovering around $1.2M to $1.5M. We indeed generated a lot of leads where net worth is more than $10M, but frankly I have never worked with an advisor that targets only $10MM+. So, I will need to look at your existing digital marketing footprint, marketing channel, ideal customer profile, geographical coverage, the quality of the content, and most importantly the trust and strength of your brand. Please ping me in private and I will be happy to do a free marketing assessment\plan. Few questions I would have, do you have inhouse investment or you broker? the package of services you offer (AUM, Annuities, Insurance, Retirement Planning, etc??)

 To be very honest with you, if you are increasing the min from $500K to $10MM, expect CAC to be much more as the target audience is much smaller and would require a mix of traditional + digital marketing + Inbound + Outbound. But It is definitely doable, but I do NOT thing at $1K CAC.

But at the scale of things, for a $10M client, avg of %0.09 annual fees that is an average of $90K. that is a $450,000 LTV over 5 years. So even if the CAC is $30K, it is worth it, I guess! for annuities, insurance, etc. the LTV can be realized in the first year Big smile





Why would the strength of my digital brand have anything to
Do with you getting me leads?

Funneling. If you have brand awareness, it will push more people through the funnel. 

I don't think Mustafa is a lead generation service. He is a marketing service that helps you create your own lead generation system.

That's what it sounds like to me.

Exactly. Over the years, we deployed tracking methodology to track visitors (ex: Google Tag Manager, Zoho page sense, Google Search Console, and Analytics, etc). A visitor may require between 8 to 12 touch points before converting to a lead. Do you know what is the most searched term we found before a visitor converts to lead? it is "XYZ advisor reviews". So, a lot of serious leads will search for your reviews before converting. Hence we always recommend creating a review page in your website and pay close attention to Google Business Profile reviews(note: SEC changed the rule around a year ago and you can request reviews from your existing customers). 

Moraen; actually we are a performance lead generation agency. Not marketing. Hence we do extensive lead tracking through virtual phone numbers, form submission, and other mediums. So, we developed a full software for that to track leads, gather intelligence, and automate the engagement with them. You can register for free to use the software at https://app.leadcenter.ai/register. It is open to be used without acquiring any of our services Smile

But you aren't the firm generating the lead, right?

SmartAsset generates leads from THEIR brand. What it sounds like you are suggesting is that you will help generate leads for advisors using the ADVISOR'S brand. Is that not correct? To me that sounds like helping people through the marketing funnel, which to me sounds like a marketing service.

Yes, you are absolutely right. if that is what you meant, we are a marketing service.

Hi Smith, We will integrate with WealthBox if we there is a use case. Usually it takes couple of weeks to build the integration.

You mean for digital marketing\Lead Generation Services? That depends on the scope of work. But we usually do an initial free consultation and a free marketing plan. The free marketing plan includes

  1. High level business analysis (target markets (nationwide or local), ideal customer profiles, services offered, current revenue, cost per lead, customer acquisition cost, conversion ratios, etc)
  2. Analysis of your current digital presence with gap analysis
  3. Digital SWAT Analysis
  4. Full SEO audit for the website
  5. Full audit for off-page SEO strength
  6. Inspection and Audit for Google Ad Account, Google Search Console, and Google Analytics
  7. High level audit for content quality
The above will be used to scope our engagement. It will be presented to you in a face-to-face meeting if you are based in Houston or over zoom if you are based somewhere else. Also the marketing plan document will be provided to you for free.   If we both find we are match, then we kick off the engagement. 


Disclosure: As part of our qualification process, we work with financial advisors that are
  1. Making a minimum of $1 Million revenue / year
  2. Looking to grow substantially over the next 3-5 years
  3. Based in the United States (we don't work Canada-based or overseas advisors).
So if you are interested, feel free to book an appointment with me on this link https://calendly.com/mustapha-9/30min . You can also message me in private.

Thank you
Mustapha

Thank you for asking, I love skiing and scuba diving. Also I am HOG Smile(Harley Davidson rider). The best ski resorts that I used to visit regularly before covid is Kitzbuhel in Austria and Chamonix Mont Blanc on the french side of the Alps. Best Scuba diving spot is the Sharm Al Sheikh resort in Egypt. Amazing coral reefs :):)

First report: 

Mustapha was on time for our zoom. That’s a pet peeve of mine so i was happy about that.

He’s legit. I actually know an advisor team he works with. He didn’t know I knew this but figured it out in our conversation. They swing a big bat and would easily be the biggest producer of they were on AH by a factor of 2-3. Vast majority of what they do is digital.

I didn’t know Mustapha ran their digital. They would never give me the black box. Know I know.

One of their marketing’s  channels has gotten massive. I’m doubtful this is repeatable (think Rodger Whitney size) but maybe it doesn’t have to be.

He’s not cheap. Not costly though if he delivers. (I can share via PM)

Depending on your marketing budget and market he could be very impactful. I’m not sure how well he will do In my market but he took the challenge so we’ll find out.


Luv, Mission, Ducati .. you have great markets for what he is doing.

He’s putting together a proposal for me. I won’t share specifics because I know he’ll be super fair with his first and loudest AH client Wink

If you invite me to lunch, I'll report you.
