Advisors Internet Marketing, the first fully digital-based financial marketing organization, specializing in helping independent financial advisors grow highly profitable location-independent businesses, entered into a strategic relationship with Advisors Excel.

AIM is the first to provide digital client acquisition services in the industry with just an internet connection and a cell phone. This effectively enables advisors to operate "virtual" businesses.

The pandemic has forever changed the way advisors attract, serve, and retain clients, and our industry will never be the same."

Jovan Will, Co-Founder of AIM

AIM's comprehensively integrated value offering ensures that advisors aren't burdened with the typically time-consuming and outdated traditional marketing efforts. Some of their features include:

Done-for-you digital marketing – A feature that generates qualified annuity leads and scheduled appointments, 100% turnkey and entirely automated by leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other advanced predictive targeting.

Virtual client acquisition training – This feature is curated to effectively enable advisors to close new business while also delivering massive value to clients without having the need for in-person meetings.

Advanced annuity strategy – Focuses on ensuring that advisors gain an edge over their competition. This is done by providing the advisors with insider access to income planning and case design strategies. 

Best-in-business annuity contracting – Provides advisors access to the best-in-class annuity contracts that range across top-rated carriers and proprietary product offers which otherwise unavailable to most advisors.

Advisors Excel Co-Founder, Cody Foster shared, "We chose to support AIM because they have a similar business philosophy and value system as Advisors Excel. Like us, they do everything they can to help grow their independent financial advisor's business and take it to the next level."

With this partnership, AIM will efficiently continue to redefine the rules of success for the modern  independent advisor.

This new set of features allow brands to extend their marketing and sales enablement tools to more parties at different levels of the distribution chain, giving them greater control over their marketing efforts and enabling them to build stronger relationships with their end customers. “Nothing exists on the market today that allows brands to jointly collaborate with multi-tiered partners, who often have their own networks of dealers, contractors and employees, in order to extend channel partner marketing efforts. Legacy distributed marketing systems often treat each brand and their channel partners as two-party siloed relationships, when in reality a distribution ecosystem may be multi-tiered and far more complex, requiring joint go-to-market collaboration with far more than just two parties,” said SproutLoud CEO Jared Shusterman. “SproutLoud’s focus on the vertical integration of multi-tier distribution models means extending marketing and sales enablement tools holistically through the channel. And SproutLoud is the first and only distributed marketing platform to recognize and build for this.” SproutLoud’s multi-tier distribution support includes features that make it easy for brands to manage marketing efforts across multiple channels.
