Many advisors are looking to grow their business faster, that’s why they use Larkspur Executive Suite. Getting the most out of it requires some know how.
So, Let’s take a look at several common mistakes that new users of Larkspur Executive PRO how to avoid them :
- Wrong Filters in the Advanced Search Section:
Before creating the first list for a campaign, think about which filters could be used to make it more efficient and useful. Some people might add basic parameters such as: location, plan size, number of participants, but without adding email or rating filters, you might end up with a list which doesn’t have much prospecting value.

- Missing Signature:
The Campaign is launched and people start opening your emails, but when you call them they don’t know who you are. The issue might be a missing or improperly installed signature on your account. If you didn’t do it properly all emails will be sent incognito, i.e. without your contact information.

- Neglecting Mobile App:
After the campaigns are launched, it might seem difficult to follow up at first, because numerous notifications will be sent to you. If you don’t take action, you risk creating a backlog. Not using an app to follow up is a big mistake at this point, as it was specifically designed for a quick response to your clients or prospects’ actions. Make use of it!

- Not Having Ongoing Campaigns:
Rule of thumb: the more proposals you send the more chance of success you’ll have in the future. Marketing is a system and running 30-50 active campaigns is the key to success. If you don’t send marketing campaigns for a week or two it’s a lost opportunity, and you should not let it happen.
