AssetMark Introduces Digital Prospecting Tool For Advisors
AssetMark, an investment advisor and financial technology company headquartered in Concord, Calif., has launched a new tool for financial advisors that streamlines the client prospecting process and provides them with insights to drive lead conversion.
In about 20 minutes, the WealthBuilder Prospecting tool enables advisors to generate a unique link to use on their website, emails or social posts or in online advertising. The link is a gateway for interested leads to start a low-friction discovery process that gives the advisor an advanced look at a prospective client’s needs, preferences and interests. Prospects then have the option to engage directly with the advisor, who also receives an alert whenever someone completes the process.
Advisors are also equipped with a dashboard that can help them organize their lead-to-prospect pipeline and keep track of various engagements and their status.
AssetMark reported $89.8 billion in platform assets as of November 30, 2021.
