The Independent Resource for the Financial Adviser Community.

Site Map  Home

Centred around the Financial Network Blog, features include marketing tips, software advice, jokes and the odd amazing fact or story which we come across as we meander through life.  This part of the Which Network site is very much a community offering, so please feel free to share any tips on marketing or running a business you may have with the rest of us in the financial services family. The fact of the matter is that if you look at the sector as a whole and the huge amounts of cash pumped into marketing direct products by banks and insurance companies, along with the big price comparison sites now such as “Money Supermarket” and “Go Compare”, these are your real competition not other small brokers and financial advisers such as yourself so helping each other makes good business sense, rather than just a nice concept.

The title says it all really but although ignorance is bliss (ask the government) I felt it only right to let you know what the Adviser Community is all about.  Basically it is aimed squarely at Independent Mortgage Brokers and Financial Advisers.  Put together principally by me (Gary Watts) my background is about 21 years as a small business owner, including 5 years of this as an independent mortgage broker, and then another 5 years as a business development Manager for one of the major networks, who have now gone out of business (not my fault,).

OTHER TOPICS

In an increasingly changing world running a small business in financial services requires skills and business practices that are continually evolving.  But while yesterdays sure thing is now yesterdays news, new opportunities and sources of business are presenting themselves almost daily.

This Adviser Community site, hosted by Which Network has been developed to help address just a few of the needs and concerns of modern day financial advisers and brokers.

As networks are core to both our business, and a lot of mortgage and financial advisers businesses, you will find plenty of information on networks here.  This will include brief histories of networks, articles on major events within the industry and network performance tables to help you to understand how the various networks (possibly including your own) are performing.

As always though the information must come with the warning that past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.  So by all means use the data as an indication of trends within networks but if you’re trying to source a new network for your business, come to us, don’t have a quick read of part of the story followed by a wild guess

The Concept

Because I have always struggled to maintain a grey suit image, not that there is anything wrong with a grey suit, (I’ve owned 6 of them) you might find that the some opinions are a bit off the wall, or controversial, but if you stick with it you will definitely find the odd nugget amongst the iron Pyrite (look it up in Wikipedia).
