Cold Calling for Financial Advisors
Financial-services marketing with an FCA-aware client approval workflow, agreed qualification and tracked outcomes.
Monthly managed retainer from £5,500/month or custom-priced pay per lead, subject to feasibility and an appropriate regulatory process. Setup and ad spend are scoped separately; qualification and exclusivity are agreed in writing.
We build the target list, research each prospect, write and test the script with your compliance sign-off, then dial. Callers are UK-based, trained on your proposition, and briefed on what they may and may not say. You get booked appointments, call recordings, objection data and a weekly view of what is converting — not raw dial counts.
Compliance first: what cold calling rules allow
Cold calling about pensions is banned in the UK, and unsolicited calls to numbers registered with the TPS or CTPS are unlawful without an existing relationship. We screen every list against TPS and CTPS, exclude pension transfer and pension release propositions entirely, keep calls factual rather than promotional, and log consent and opt-outs so your audit trail holds up under scrutiny.
- UK GDPR & PECR-aware outreach
- Documented data sources (FCA Register, Companies House)
- Your suppression lists honoured
- Your compliance team signs off all messaging
- Audit trail for every introduction
We are not authorised by the FCA. We cannot approve regulated financial promotions; your firm must arrange appropriate approval where required.
Data and targeting that make the calls worth making
Most advisor calling fails on the list, not the pitch. We segment by wealth signal, business ownership, life-stage trigger, professional network and geography, so the caller is speaking to someone with a plausible reason to need advice this quarter. For B2B propositions we target directors, partners and finance leads directly.
Scripts, objections and the multichannel follow-up
Calls sit inside a sequence with email and LinkedIn, so a prospect has usually seen your name before the phone rings and gets a written summary afterwards. Scripts open with a reason for the call, qualify on suitability, and book a specific time rather than asking for vague interest. Objection handling is refreshed monthly from the recordings.
What you receive each month
A cleaned and screened calling list, an approved script, a named caller working set hours, appointments booked straight into your calendar with notes, call recordings for QA, and reporting on connects, conversations, appointments and show rate so cost per appointment is always visible.
A buyer's decision guide
Outsourced calling for financial advisers: what the caller can say
For B2B advice and introducer development, an outbound conversation can establish relevance and obtain agreement to a discussion. It must not imply that an unauthorised caller is providing regulated advice.
Useful for: Financial advice practices and corporate benefits advisers seeking introductions to relevant businesses or professional intermediaries.
Not designed for: Pressure selling of financial products, misleading claims of FCA authorisation or campaigns without appropriate calling-list checks.
What to agree before appointing an agency
- Identify the exact business roles and permissible conversation outcomes before compiling call lists.
- Agree CTPS/TPS screening where relevant, UK GDPR and PECR safeguards and client-approved scripts.
- Define accepted appointments, follow-up ownership and the minimum notes required for a productive adviser conversation.
How to measure the work
Differentiate conversations, expressions of interest, attended meetings and accepted opportunities so callers aren't rewarded for calendar volume alone.
Marketing support only; regulated promotions require the appropriate firm-led authorisation and approval. No guaranteed lead volumes or financial outcomes.
