It’s a Numbers Game at RMT Direct Leads

Facebooktwittergoogle_pluslinkedin

At RMT Direct Leads we like to focus on the outcome when discussing a new campaign with a financial advisor or mortgage advisor. We also like to focus on the ‘numbers’ or the monthly supply that will lead to a consistent monthly success. Quite often we turn away advisors who are basing their campaign on a very small initial budget that simply does not marry up with the numbers required to generate success. It is a numbers game after all! 

Both our financial advisor leads and mortgage leads convert at a minimum of 10 to 15%. With the average fee of £2,500 for Financial Advisor, this translates at a return of 2.50 to 3.75 to one.

This means an advisor spending £2,000 per month, or a monthly supply of around 20 leads will convert this into £5,000 to £7,500 worth of fees every month. 

Mortgage advisor who generate an average fee of £1,000 would see a return of 3.70 to 5.55. This means an advisor spending £1,350 per month, or a monthly supply of around 50 leads will convert this into £4,995 to £7492 worth of fees every month.

Our website Financial Advisor Direct, offers two services – Financial Advisor Leads and Mortgage Leads.

Data back from one large client that had spent £71,000 witth RMT Direct Leads over a 9 month period covering the East Midlands region, generated in excess of £208,000 in fees from 43 clients giving an avergage portfolio size of £162,000. There was an additional 26 client decisions and 19 clients awaiting an initial appointment.

The real secret to finding more clients?

Facebooktwittergoogle_pluslinkedin

The secret is to use a campaign that does not use Facebook advertising and instead focuses on using keywords such as ‘advice’ when creating Google Ads.

Using the correct keywords and advertising methods will attract the correct clientele who are genuinely in need of advice and will actually pick up the phone. Whereas using a campaign that is based solely on ‘product’ type keywords, such as ‘private pension’ or ‘personal pension’ the users are far more likely to not even have a pension or are merely looking up information online and have no intention of wanting to speak to an advisor.

Our 2020

Facebooktwittergoogle_pluslinkedin

There’s no avoiding the elephant in the room: the first half of 2020 has been extremely tough for everyone. Despite the grief, isolation and restriction experienced around the world, life goes on – and RMT Direct Leads is no exception. From fair wells to exciting new products, we’ll take you through what we’ve been up to over the last few months.

1) Covid-19 In the face of hardship and uncertainty, our teams in Spain and the UK have been working even harder to make sure that RMT Direct Leads continues to operate as normal for you. In May, we reported that Google Ad impressions returned back to normal for the first time since the start of the crisis.

2) Rebrand IFA Direct Home a website we have been operating since 2013 was rebranded Financial Advisor Direct in February. The goal of the rebrand was to appeal to both independent and restricted advisors alike, rather than a focus on independent advice.

3) Auction Room Customers in England will soon be able to download the Regulated Advice app. The app will allow users to bid in real-time for telephone qualified leads in their postcode based on the area of advice and the size of their investment portfolio. So far, we have over 150 financial advisors interested. The app will be FREE to download with no monthly subscription fee.

4) Good bye After booking 7,509 appointments through Financial Advisor Direct with an estimated £339 million worth of funds under management, after 7 years we say good bye to our financial advisor appointment making service. Due to the pension cold call ban, GDPR and now Covid-19 we have decided finally to quit this space and instead focus on digital marketing.

RMT Group Opens a New Office in Luton

RMT Group

New Luton Office

13th Sep 2018

RMT Group, the ambitious customer generation business, has today announced plans to move its sales staff and marketing personnel to new offices in Luton in the coming weeks.

Operating since 2012, RMT Group is now partnered with financial services companies like Citrus Financial, Integral Financial Planning, Futures Assured and Moorland Mayfair Wealth Management, connecting them with new customers using a mix of digital marketing and innovative call centre technology.

Investment for the future
To date, growth has been driven by founders Ryan Mellor and Charlotte Till who have recently moved to offices in nearby Ampthill, Bedfordshire, earlier in 2018.

Speaking about the move, RMT Group co-founder and sales director, Ryan Mellor, said: “I stated in Spring 2018, that we had plans to move to Luton and the office provides space for both its digital marketing and call centre operations.”

Capacity is everything
The Luton office provides floor space to accommodate its call centre, marketing and sales team for the new website RegulatedAdvice.co.uk. RMT Group intends to generate over 1,000 subscriptions to its new website over the next 3 years .

The modern offices based  in the centre of Luton are located 30 miles to the north of London, and is home of course to London Luton Airport.

 

Interview with RMT Group employee, Tony Warrington

Facebooktwittergoogle_pluslinkedin

Tony Warrington, one of RMT’s longest established call centre operatives talks about his role and life at RMT.

“My role at RMT is to make pension review appointments for clients and also to help new staff with getting used to the systems. Any new member of staff will receive a week’s training so by the time they start working on the phones they will have a thorough knowledge of pension regulations and the service we offer, but it can take them some time to get used to the systems, so I help them with things like booking appointments on the system. I’m also on hand to answer any questions that might arise as they start making calls.

“When I call a potential client I talk to them to find out firstly if I can help them and then how I can help them. Most people are not aware of the charges applied to their pensions.

“Traditionally pension statements are the sort of thing that people receive in the post and simply file straight away into a drawer, sometimes without even opening. Often when I’m speaking to a potential client they are not aware of what’s on their latest statement or that they are effectively paying to have their pension looked after. A lot of people also aren’t aware that they can do something about it.

“Fees on older pensions were traditionally much higher, before the FCA got involved and so it’s likely that someone with a pension that hasn’t been reviewed for many years could actually be paying up to four times more than they need to in fees.

“My role is to find out what kind of pension they have, estimate the likely fees they will be paying and determine whether a pension review will be worthwhile for them. I’m not a financial advisor so I cannot give them any advice on their pension, but I can illustrate the benefits of a pension review.

“The main advantage of a pension review is that it costs nothing, just an hour of their time to establish if their pension is performing at its best for them. As all the Independent Financial Advisors we work with are FCA regulated, they will only advise a person to transfer their pension if it will leave them financially better off as a result. If a financial advisor reviews a pension and establishes it is performing well, his or her advice would be to leave it where it is, so it really is a win-win situation for anyone having their pension reviewed – they either receive peace of mind that it’s performing well or have the option to transfer it and become financially better off when it comes to retirement.

“I very much enjoy working for RMT, they are fair employers and it’s a nice office to work in. I enjoy the office environment but for many the flexibility of being able to work remotely from home, saving on travel costs is what really appeals.”
