Q

Why is understanding the clients’ real reasons for seeking financial advice, beyond seeking answers to financial problems, an important aspect of the value proposition of a Financial Adviser?

A

The reason clients seek advice are important because it highlights how the intention of an advice-seeker is often not actually about the advice-answer itself. Which in turn, helps to explain why clients don’t necessarily follow through on “the answer” when the recommendation is provided to them.
If the advisor doesn’t consider the true reason for why a prospective client is seeking out their advice, it’s hard to provide a service which meets the clients’ needs or expectations.
