The modules are Metrics, for powerful sales planning and tracking and benchmarking capabilities, and Roadmap, for advisor coaching and content delivery to help advisors stay on-target to achieve goals.
"SuccessPro was rolled-out on a firm-wide basis in November after a pilot program validated the expected business benefits the prior year," said Tate Kerst, Executive Director of Practice Development at Waddell & Reed, Inc. "After carefully considering a number of options, we determined that SuccessPro delivered the greatest ROI to drive advisor retention, growth and recruiting. It's a differentiator for us that delivers tangible results."
Joe Godfrey, Managing Principal at Waddell & Reed, Inc., further explains "SuccessPro is leveraged by field leadership to provide effective and targeted support to help advisors achieve growth – through both new clients and existing clients, as well as improve service and retention rates. We also plan to incorporate the tool to help advisors better understand opportunities in product and technology flexibility. The software allows us to get to the heart of what needs to be done, tracks results, and provide leadership with consistent and scalable coaching content to help advisors' drive success."
Spenser Segal, Founder and CEO of ActiFi, notes that "Margin compression, market volatility, regulatory changes and fierce competition for experienced advisors heightens the need for enterprises to be more efficient and effective from a sales planning and tracking, benchmarking, and coaching perspective in order to drive successful outcomes. As a result, the SuccessPro suite is emerging as the de facto standard for enterprises that require a consistent and scalable way to help ensure growth goals are realized."
