New Financial Year - Time To Get Going!
Making the most of the new financial year - starts now!
July 2020 is upon us, you've worked hard all June and now it is time for a break right. Well, sort of.
How about instead of a break you change your focus for a little while and get refreshed through trying some new activities and areas of focus that will help you to lay a great baseline for the new financial year.
Ten ways to maximise the new FY and kickstart it off with a focus on your online profile.
1: Take a great new profile picture
It is always nice when you have a great profile picture that looks professional and presents you in your best light. It is also nice to have a recent photo so that clients, when you meet face to face, are less like to comment on the difference between reality and your profile picture. If it has been a few years, take the time and make it happen. Here some excellent tips on how to avoid a bad profile picture.
2: Write a new bio about yourself reflecting new successes
We're always changing and growing. But when was the last time you updated your professional bio or description on Advisr and other social media sites? Having relevant and an up to date personal description enables you to highlight new skills and experience. It is amazing how 5 or 10 years of experience can quickly become 15 to 20 years of experience.
3: Ask some customers to leave you a review on Advisr
Customer reviews are a critical part of a potential customers decision-making process. If you don't have any customer reviews. Start now. Yes it is hard work, but it is valuable work that pays for itself time and time again. If your business is built by referrals then online customers reviews are essential. One simple way to start building customer reviews is to include an image and link within your email signature. Read more on how to build customer reviews via your email signature.

Trends change and a tired or older looking website can showcase you in poor light. Take a moment and review your website. To make it easier, here is a guide to the ultimate website for insurance brokers.
