Discovery Interview is an online fact finder which, when completed, creates a Household and Asset-Map in the advisor's book of business.

The inbound link can be used when the advisor wishes to send an invitation with their advisor link to a specific client or prospect, take in Leads from their business web page, for use in social media marketing or other similar engagement opportunities where the prospect name is not necessarily known by the advisor. Please check with your compliance department before using this tool.

If you don't have the inbound link and would like to get it, consider upgrading your subscription.

Find Your Inbound Link

Go to your Discovery administration page:

Look for the Inbound section on the Discovery administration page.

Use your Inbound Link

The versatile inbound link can be:

  • Copied and emailed by you to the client. We suggest searching your book of business for an appropriate Sample to download and attach to your email so that the client knows what an asset-map looks like.

  • Used to create an Asset-Map with the prospect right in your office.

  • Can be changed into a QR code for your marketing resources.

    • Once the client clicks on your link, a Household-specific link is created with which they will being filling out their Discovery. This new link has a 14-day security time out.

    • During this time, prior to 14 days, you have the capability of copying their household link to send it to the client if they've lost it. However, after 14 days the household link is closed. Resend them your advisor inbound link and have them start again.

    • Lastly, if they have started one, you'll be able to see the completion percentage of their household interview and decide to create a map of it..

Copying and Emailing Your Link to a Prospect

Below is a helpful email template to introduce Discovery and Asset-Map to a prospect. Please copy and save it to your email software, and ensure it meets your compliance guidelines. Adjust it to your liking as you see fit.

📝Note: Attach a sample to the email.

Dear [Prospect Name if known],

I have taken the liberty of attaching a one-page visual inventory of all the financial elements of a Sample household. Take a look. A visual map like this helps me to determine how best to coordinate and complement what a client is already doing and helps to educate a household to make better financial decisions going forward.

I use this tool as my client meeting agenda. Therefore, I would like you to create your own map!

Click my link below to get started on your map as soon as possible:

[insert advisor inbound link]

Don't worry about details. Just use round numbers and best estimates and we will refine your map when we meet. An accurate Asset-Map Report will enable me to bring more appropriate and relevant ideas and strategies to your table as I become aware of them.

Please reach out to me if you have questions. I’d like to schedule a visit with you at this time.

Sincerely,

[Financial Professional Name]
