Well, it’s official! Social media is increasing interpersonal connectivity, not decreasing it. At least for now. Arguably, our ability to initiate meaningful communication comes down to the individual, and not the device. A post by Common Wealth sheds light on client retention, listing communication as the number one pitfall behind client retention issues.
Advisors should, indeed, reconsider their communication strategy in the “new norm." Here are some key ideas to keep in mind when re-evaluating your B2C or B2B communication, as well as helpful tools and resources to follow through.
Manage Your Frequency: Be the Guardian Angel
One idea to consider is how you will manage the frequency of your communication, without contributing to all of the noise. A well-managed communication strategy does not intrude but instead gives you a guardian angel effect while staying relevant. If you already have connectivity, find what frequency works best for your audience. If you’re focused on acquiring clients, make sure to put as much emphasis on quality, as you do quantity in your content marketing, and act genuinely to help people with the troubles they are currently experiencing.
Use Soul Force: Wax on Wax Off
Stay sticky!–A coined marketing term referencing a certain elegance that, when applied to your messaging and media, boosts lead generation and keeps an audience coming back. As business owners, you must consider treating every touchpoint as an extension of your brand. We must adopt the art of wielding effective service in our wax on right hand, and the ability to speak to the soul in our wax off left, and the latter is a two-way road.
