\nWe all love telling our own story\u2026and when we do, we highlight the positives. Providing third-party information to advisors about your offering or your asset class helps build trust because you\u2019re not shying away from sharing someone else\u2019s perspective \u2013 which can be perceived as a more balanced perspective with pros and cons. Financial advisors need the whole picture on what you\u2019re offering and the asset class you\u2019re working within to feel comfortable presenting your investment opportunities to clients.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>
\nThere are many credible and reputable sources for market outlooks on alternative investments, various types of offerings and asset classes. Find the 3-4 sources your firm is comfortable with and continuously monitor them for articles and insights relevant to you. For deeper dive third-party information on your firm and offering, you can also use your due diligence report (e.g., Fact Right) as a third-party resource.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nCreating original content can be time consuming. Use value-add content to supplement your original content\u2026and think beyond just your offering. Maybe you see an article that can help advisors with practice management\u2026push it out to the sales team as another touchpoint. And the sales team can do this on their own as well based on advisor interests. They can send something to an advisor that may relate to a personal interest in an email saying, \u201cHey John, I was just thinking about you when I read this. I thought it would be very beneficial, I know we talked about this the other day.\u201d It helps advisors know the sales team is listening and helps to build relationships.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nUse third-party information to help fill your content calendar when your own development of content is light. You can send it out in mass emails to advisors, post it on social media (this is especially useful for firms offering 506(b) offerings that are limited on marketing) and the sales team can use it to start or follow-up on conversations with advisors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>
\nWhen you start building conversations by sending out third-party information, you can become an advisor\u2019s go-to\u2026and the conversation continues. Advisors \u2013 producers and prospects \u2013\u00a0 are going to come to you with, \u201cYou\u2019ve always been so helpful with the information you provide. I really appreciate it.\u201d And that appreciation and transparency + trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
