clock

The SimplyBiz Group has launched a Protection Academy for its members to improve their knowledge and understanding of the protection market.

The online portal houses a range of training and development tools including fact sheets, role-play outlines, sales ideas and instructional videos.

Supported by SimplyBiz Mortgages and the New Model Business Academy (NMBA), the website ultimately aims to improve advisers' face to face skills when dealing with clients receiving advice on protection and the availability of free licences.

Martin Reynolds, CEO of SimplyBiz Mortgages, (pictured) said: "We are very pleased to bring the Protection Academy to market, providing advisers with such a wide variety of resources. I believe that this new offering will be of much value and interest to advisers, whether they are experienced in the field of protection, are fairly new to this as a business area or simply in need of a refresher.

"Our latest proposition aims to help advisers have more profitable conversations with clients, understand better how protection can fit into clients' financial plans and learn new sales techniques. This is the first of a number of new protection initiatives and we are confident it will be popular development amongst our members. "

Lee Travis, CEO of the New Model Business Academy who assisted in the development of the Protection Academy, added: "Protection is a vitally important piece of advice in the overall needs of clients, and can be a very profitable revenue stream for advisers."
