KANSAS CITY, Mo., November 16, 2020 (Newswire.com) - In October 2020, Impact Communications, a leading marketing and PR strategy firm focused exclusively on the financial advisory industry, conducted a survey on Conversations That Matter: Addressing Client Concerns, Hopes and Dreams During Uncertain Times. The survey asked hundreds of independent financial advisors to weigh in on how they have adjusted to the challenges posed by the Covid Crisis and Coronavirus Crash.
"The survey was an opportunity for independent financial advisors to weigh in on 2020's pandemic realities and share their stories on how they adjusted when the COVID-19 lockdowns, market turbulence and business realities became apparent," said Marie Swift, president and CEO of Impact Communications. "From the survey we've also learned where advisors have gone the extra mile, what their clients valued most, and whether or not they are getting new business. The survey has given us important insights into the state of today's financial advisors and how they are adjusting their businesses in these uncertain times."
