Aviva has launched a new online hub to help financial advisers boost the protection side of their business – and bank CPD hours to boot.

The ‘Adviser Business Accelerator’ website includes expert tips and step by step guides to help advisers get more from their business development and client acquisition efforts.

Jim Hunter, Sales Manager at Aviva, said: “We know from our research that many advisers – 86%, in fact – see protection as key growth area for their business. We also know that many don’t have as much time to dedicate to achieving this as they would like.

“That’s why we’ve launched Adviser Business Accelerator.”

Topics covered by the new hub include: winning more business through your website; getting more referrals; networking with ease; simple marketing planning; and how to dominate your local market.

Mr Hunter added: “The way the site is structured makes it easy for advisers to dip in and out of the content they need, whenever they happen to need it.

“Plus, it gives them an easy way to achieve the 15 hours of unstructured CPD they’ll now need to bank under the Insurance Distribution Directive – at the same time as learning something that could benefit their business.”
