How chemistry helps advisers attract and retain clients

Clients in need of financial advice have a lot of choice when it comes to deciding which firm or adviser to use.
Companies spend lots of money on advertising to convince people that their particular expertise is the best fit for their needs.

David Pugh, global head of sales and marketing at The Fry Group, was inspired to try and find the answer to this question after reading an interview with author Herman Brodie.

His new book, The Trust Mandate, is aimed at financial professionals and investigates the concept of ‘trust’.
