Chapter 9 Wholesaling An Essential Component of the Supply Chain exhibit 9.09 Insurance Wholesalers: Services for Building Relationships with Advisors, 2015 Sources: Cerulli Associates, in partnership with Sequoia System International Analyst Note: Respondents indicating service is very important for building relationships. Service Life and Annuity Wholesalers All Wholesalers Sales ideas 79% 68% Best practices from other advisors 68% 61% Providing alternate approaches to challenges 58% 51% Educated competitive product information 53% 61% Practice management guidance 37% 32% Presentations at client events or seminars 32% 25% Educational whitepapers and thought leadership 26% 37% Assistance with advanced financial planning techniques 21% 22% Financial assistance for clients events or seminars 16% 27% Portfolio construction recommendations 16% 36% Entertainment and gifts 11% 12% Capital market commentary 11% 25% Access to portfolio managers or product specialists 11% 31% A high proportion of life and annuity wholesalers say sales ideas are very important in building relationships with advisors. Another important factor is the information wholesalers can provide about best sales practices. Key Implication: It seems that advisors crave information that can help them, thus it is essential for wholesalers to have insights at their fingertips. Cerulli argues that by sales ideas, advisors want ways to use the products that fit with specific client needs. Guidance on best practices is also in demand. This means that a wholesaler must have an ample network of seasoned advisors who freely share their experiences, and the wholesaler must remember anecdotes to share with other advisors. The idea of providing alternative approaches to challenges, which 58% of respondents say is valuable, is intriguing because it speaks to the ideas of best practices and problem solving.
