What is "MyAdvisorConnection"?Simply put, it’s "Networking that Works". We are a site that specializes in easily sharing professional connections, strengthening relationships, increasing client retention, and providing a platform for new clients to easily stream in. Will my name be sold to a bunch of third parties when I register for an account?Of course not – your information is completely protected and private unless you decide to sell or share it with others, but we don’t and won’t. How much does this cost?Membership Description The site is absolutely FREE to professionals who wish to gain referrals, marketing resources and tools to help their business grow. If you would like to market yourself and or your company on the site, you can do so for as little as $9.95 per month. Click here for a complete list of memberships and the features they offer. Some Benefits Include:
Also, some of the “income” you should expect from the site will come by way of the intangible goodwill you will build by simply providing a platform of referred, preferred providers of services to your clients and professional network. Who is a good center of influence?Both clients and advisors that have in the past been referred to you are the obvious first choice. But anyone who is part of the market or serves the market you want to work in will be your natural additions to your database. Closely measure the results of your contact base and be aware of who is working the system. These will be your main recommended advisors for your client base provided they fit with your client’s needs. How can I optimize myself on the site?Imagine that you had a group of 100 people who were willing to refer clients to you. Now, imagine further that this "circle of 100" were people whose own work put them in touch with your potential clients every day. Sounds ideal, doesn't it? Building a circle like this of your own may be easier than you think. Also, referral activity will be assigned point values making you more visible throughout the site.back to top Why this site vs. other networking sites?My Advisor Connection is a site specifically developed to directly connect advisors to other advisors for the purpose leveraging the power of a network for the servicing and sharing of existing clients. It is run for this purpose and this purpose only. It is not a social site like those you may be familiar with such as Myspace and to a lesser degree Linkedin. We will support activity to this end and will discourage to the point of terminating memberships for other activity. How do I cancel my account?Send us an email with cancel in the subject line to support. That’s it! We don’t want you paying for something that doesn’t help you make money and build stronger relationships. Whatever your reason for canceling, it’s O.K. Really! We only want people who understand the value of the benefits of the site and those who can and want to make huge returns on their investments. Any guarantees?It’s pretty hard to guarantee a site that requires the participation of the user to make it successful. If you work this site and you don’t strengthen your relationships, give and receive strong referrals, you may cancel your membership at any time. Will this site work on its own and bring me business?That depends. If you have advisors signed up that will refer business to you when you are not responding in kind, sure. But that’s probably not realistic to expect to get referrals on a consistent basis without responding in kind. This site is obviously created as an “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine” tool. How much time do I need to devote to this site?After initial setup, the more time you put into the site, the more you will get out of it. Make sure you let your current advisors and clients know about the site. This site may produce business as a result of prospects finding you, but will be far more potent if you can get your contacts using the site with your profile on their pages. Simple. The more advisors you can get to use the site that have clients of their own that can potentially use your service or product the better. Monitor your results on a regular basis and weed out the advisors that are "trolling" and not active. How do I get customer support?Simply go to the support page and email us your needs, concerns, complaints or praise. Or give us a call – Yes we actually have a phone number you can call and get support. Calls will be returned within 48 hours. Email is preferred for a faster response. Are there other ways to make money other than the obvious function?YesWell Helloooo entrepreneur… If you are interested in organizing your city’s quarterly parties and be a local public relations person, we would love to chat with you. Please contact us and we will be falling all over each other to get a chance to talk to you. What activities do I get points for?You are given points for logging in, referring clients and advisors, blogging on what is going on with you and your industry, adding articles of value, also inviting new people to the site. The point system is weighted by the importance of the activity. Do you have any long term contracts?NoI’m already a member of several social sites. Do I still need this? Yes Yes Yes you do. This is not a social site by design. The purpose of this site is NOT to accumulate large numbers of contacts that you have no relationship with other than a contact on the web. It is a site to cultivate those people you already have a relationship with and gives you a platform that strengthens business ties and automates sending and receiving referrals to and from those people. This site is about quality not quantity. Remember our slogan "networking that works". Where are you located?You may send your thank you notes, flowers, and gifts to our "World Headquarters" located in the heart of the United States 7825 Grand Kansas City MO 64114. ![]() AutoresponderMore Connections, Please!
