10 May 2010

According to the results from the latest MyIntroducer.com poll, 53% of intermediaries did the same or less business compared to the same period last year.

A total of 1,097 intermediaires answered the question: How much new business did you write in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period last year?

The results for MyIntroducer.com poll are as follows:

A lot less: 26.00%

A lot more: 23.00%

A little bit more: 23.00%

About the same: 15.67%

A little bit less: 11.33%

Don't know: 1.00%

Justin Rees, Director of Marketing and Partnerships at LeadPoint, comments:

“Although it is great news that over a quarter of advisers reported an increase in business in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009, still over half of respondents said they did the same or less business.

"For these advisers, there is still a massive opportunity to increase their volumes of new business by using lead generation. There are already hundreds of adviser firms around the UK buying leads and with millions of consumers going online every day looking for advice about financial products and services lead generation is the best way to get in touch with them.”
