Justin Rees, Director of Marketing and Partnerships at LeadPoint, comments:
Although it is great news that over a quarter of advisers reported an increase in business in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009, still over half of respondents said they did the same or less business.
"For these advisers, there is still a massive opportunity to increase their volumes of new business by using lead generation. There are already hundreds of adviser firms around the UK buying leads and with millions of consumers going online every day looking for advice about financial products and services lead generation is the best way to get in touch with them.
