    How to Productise Financial Advice

    Send a text Many financial planners segment their clients. Few actually change how they deliver advice. In this episode of PROpulsion LIVE, we explore the next step in building a modern advisory firm: productising your services. Segmentation helps you understand your clients. Productisation helps you run a scalable business. You will learn how to move from vague promises of “comprehensive advice” to clearly defined service packages with structured delivery, clear outcomes, and pricing that reflects the value of planning. We cover: • Why the traditional AUM model is under pressure • The difference between segmentation and productisation • How to build clear service tiers based on complexity • How to turn your advice into repeatable services • Why CRM workflows are essential to deliver consistent advice • Practical steps to start productising your firm this month This episode is part of our 2026 theme: From Knowing to Doing. Most advisers already know they should segment, specialise, and systemise their work. The challenge is implementation. If you want to build a firm that is scalable, profitable, and easier to explain to clients, this conversation will give you a clear starting point. 👍 If you enjoyed this episode: Like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with another adviser who is building their  practice.

    How Ascor Became FPI Professional Practice of the Year with Wouter Fourie

    Send a text Winning FPI’s Professional Practice of the Year is a big moment.   But trophies don’t build businesses. Daily decisions do.   In this first episode of Season 7, we sit down with Wouter Fourie from Ascor® Independent Wealth Managers to unpack what it actually takes to build an award-winning financial planning firm.   This is not a celebration piece. It’s a practical conversation. We talk about the years behind the recognition. The standards they refuse to compromise on. The systems that keep the business consistent. The leadership lessons that shaped the team. And the uncomfortable decisions that had to be made along the way.   If you run a financial planning practice, manage a team, or are serious about raising your standards, this episode will challenge you.   Inside this conversation: What “client-centred” really looks like in practice How Ascor builds and maintains internal discipline The role of leadership in growing a strong advisory team What most firms say they value but don’t implement Where to start if you want to lift the level of your own business Season 7 is built around our theme for this year: From Knowing to Doing.   Wouter’s journey is a real example of what that looks like when it’s applied consistently over time.   If you’re ready to move beyond theory and build something solid, this one is worth your time.   Subscribe for weekly conversations on building better financial planning businesses. www.propulsion.co.za/community     #financialplanning #financialadviser #wealthmanagement #practicegrowth #FPI #FPIProfessionalPracticeOfTheYear2025
