The Two Top Challenges Personal Finance Professionals Face

Those in the financial industry face challenges in proving they are trustworthy, credible experts and increasing awareness among their target audiences. In other words, the biggest challenges for many financial professionals are trust and exposure.

Trust Challenges

People have concerns about financial professionals. In an Advisor Hub poll, 65% said they mistrusted the financial services industry.(1) The majority of people also report lacking trust in financial content creators and educators.(2 – 4)

Exposure Challenges

With competition growing across all sectors of financial services, education, and content creation, it takes more than just a website and social media to rise above the crowd. Additionally, the big players in the space are churning out content and promotions at a rate with which small to mid-sized organizations can’t compete.

How To Build Credibility and Increase Exposure as a Trusted Professional

Overcoming skepticism and building a brand people trust is important for all aspects of your business growth strategy. From top-of-funnel communications, to conversions and client loyalty – creating a respected brand with high-profile exposure offers many benefits.

Building a business or personal brand requires cohesive messaging, developing assets aligned with your brand, exposing your message to your target audience, and deepening the brand experience through ongoing relationship-building.

Sales Funnel Relation to Brand-building

Brand development is an investment into an asset. Strengthening your brand can generate ongoing returns and have monetary value because it represents potential revenue.(5)

Building your brand value is a cornerstone of any conversion rate optimization (CRO) strategy and should precede marketing. Brand value provides multiple benefits, from top-of-funnel communications through client acquisition.
