PPI embraces cutting-edge technology, so its advisors stay relevant, competitive, and successful. The internet and the introduction of robo-advisors made investing more accessible than ever, so the PPI team sought out a tool that could help its advisors stand out and emphasize their value.
Leaning into a more holistic approach, the PPI team decided to hone in on building strong relationships and offering superior client experience—aspects of wealth management a computer could never compete with.
After a single demo of the CapIntel platform, the PPI team knew they found a potential flagship component for their wealth-focused advisors’ toolkit. The sales enablement solution had all the features the PPI team was looking for, including streamlining an advisor’s day-to-day workflow, improving the quality of their proposals, and giving them more time to form meaningful client relationships.
“It gives our wealth-focused advisors three advantages. First, the platform assists in their professionalism from a compliance and process point of view, secondly, it sets them apart in their research and presentation quality and abilities, and finally, it helps make their business scalable by finding efficiencies in these areas,” said Keith Newhook, Senior Vice President, Sales at PPI.
Scalability
PPI knew its advisors wanted more client-facing time, but the manual work of increasing compliance requirements and many steps of the proposal process made it next to impossible.
Power users of the platform make up to 40 proposals per week, and Newhook highlights that what used to take advisors two hours can be done in just minutes on CapIntel.
“Advisors are spending less time doing administrative tasks, like proposal preparation, and they’re spending more time finding new clients or growing existing client relationships.”
In addition to helping advisors impress clients, Newhook says that CapIntel helps impress other advisors. With the mission to elevate independent financial advisors to the next level, the PPI team counts CapIntel as the backbone of its tech stack to woo other advisors and emphasize the value they can add to their practice.
Newhook credits custom PPI-branded proposals and the platform’s ease of use as being key factors when impressing advisors.
“It’s one of the key tools in PPI’s Stratosphere platform of sales presentation software when it comes to an advisor’s wealth practice and is front and center on our demo of what you get when you come to PPI.”
With all the time saved, PPI advisors are more client-focused than ever. CapIntel’s comparison tool and graphs help advisors show financial advice in real time, offering an unparalleled level of transparency in the proposal process.
Comprehensive, investor-friendly proposals help advisors foster meaningful conversations and genuine connections. Clients have a clear understanding of an advisor’s advice, and the relationship flourishes as the advisor can clearly communicate their value.
“The output is second to none. You’re proud to have your name and your branding on it when you present to your clients.”
In a world full of financial advice and noise, PPI has helped its advisors stay ahead of the curve by embracing technology that brings out the most human aspects of wealth management—the client experience—and it’s worked. In the first six months of routinely using CapIntel, 81.7% of advisors saw growth in their wealth business1, with an average increase in sales volume of 39.5%.
