7 D. INTRODUCTION TO ADVICED GUIDED SALES 1 Guided Sales is a new, straightforward financial advice process created by the FSA s Retail Distribution Review (RDR). The service will enable the industry to help meet a range of consumers savings, investment and protection needs. Which consumers would benefit from this service? This service could potentially benefit all consumers, especially those in low to middle income groups with more straightforward needs, for whom a full advice process might not be economical. Higher income groups might also use the service, to access simple, time efficient advice on a limited range of products. How would the service operate? A Guided Sales service would be a process driven solution designed to provide consumers with a personal recommendation after a consultation process lasting about 30 minutes. The service would be facilitated by the latest IT technology and delivered via the internet, over the phone or face-to-face. Any advisor interaction would be restricted and then checked after the recommendation is provided to ensure the pre-determined process was followed, thereby ensuring that consumers receive a consistent recommendation that meets their needs. What about existing financial advice services? Guided Sales would provide an economical alternative to existing advice services for those consumers with straightforward needs and could be delivered by insurance companies, banks or financial advisers. Figure 1 shows the current full and focused advice services and where a Guided Sales model would fit. The service would be limited in both depth and breadth, while still delivering consumers with suitable solutions within the limitations of the service. Figure 2 shows the spectrum of advice and sales services that would exist following the implementation of the RDR. Guided Sales would fill a significant gap in the market for individuals that require more than information but do not need a full advice service. Breadth Depth Guided Sales Focused Advice Money Guidance Execution only Guided Sales Focused Advice Full Holistic Advice Full Advice Figure 1 Guided Sales and existing financial advice services Figure 2 Advice and sales services following the implementation of the FSA s Retail Distribution Review 1 This paper was prepared by the ABI. We are grateful for allowing us to use it in our report.
8 What about consumer protection? In additional to ensuring that advisors follow the pre-determined process, additional safety mechanisms would be built into the systems to ensure that the process delivered good consumer outcomes. These include filtering out consumers whose needs do not fall within the scope of the advice and ensuring that users are aware of the limitations of the service. If an individual would be better served by an alternative form of advice, such a debt counselling or full advice, the consumer would be recommended to seek alternative help. How would this service be regulated? The process driven approach of Guided Sales ensures that consumers with the same characteristics receive the same recommendations. This enables individual models to be regulated, rather than each individual outcome.
