Whether we like it or not, the financial services environment is going through a period of rapid change.
Legislation, regulation and technological advancements mean that dealer groups need to embrace disruption and constantly evolve and adapt in order to survive and more importantly support our advisers.
This means sourcing social media software providers and working with your adviser network in order for them to adapt to change and feel comfortable that they have the support mechanisms in place to help them adapt.
We have recently brought in social media links with external experts for our advisers and are currently working on a number of other social media projects in order to help our advisers continually adapt and feel more comfortable with social media.
