Specialists in the Wills and Probate sector face the difficult task of providing a diverse range of services in a bespoke way to suit customer needs.
When policies and reforms are constantly shifting, it is more important than ever to remain up to date on the topical issues and legal implications within the sector. Being aware of the quality of CPD that is available is therefore extremely important.
Through the ‘Changing Landscape in Will writing’ research, data has identified that 34% of respondents require a regulated Willwriter to produce their Wills, only recommendations from a trusted source would change their mind.
Reading reviews (27%), having a recommendation from an independent body or family member (31%) also rank extremely highly. In such a competitive and fast paced market, it is important to set yourself apart from the rest. Expert knowledge and understanding will help to differentiate yourself from others and encourage additional business through recommendations from impressed customers.
