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

“Over 70% of advisers responded that they cross-sell at least half of all their clients into other products. While this in part has been driven by the tough trading conditions it also shows there are still a great deal of potential revenue opportunities in the financial services industry.

"The key to success is the ability to keep generating new business and lead generation still offers one of the most cost effective ways of targeting your customers. With lead prices as low as just a few pounds there is a great opportunity for all budgets."
