The new Marketing Toolkit from EuroDebt is designed to give brokers ready-made support to help them communicate the advantages of alternative debt solutions, including Debt Management Plans, to customers and prospects.
More than 650 brokers have signed up to the EuroDebt Introducer Scheme since it launched last Autumn, reflecting the increasing pressure to provide consumers with alternatives to remortgaging or other funding to bolster flagging finances.
"A number of brokers are now seeing debt management as an absolutely crucial route to bolstering their own income," confirmed Kevin Still, director, EuroDebt. "Many have seen their mortgage and remortgage business significantly diminish, which is not only impacting their own earning opportunities but making it difficult for them to help clients who are facing financial difficulties.
"A EuroDebt Debt Management Plan provides a viable alternative that enables the broker to retain client relationships. And our Marketing Toolkit means brokers can promote this service with only limited outlay from their own business. We recommend that prospective Introducers request a copy of our Marketing Support Catalogue to establish just what is possible to boost their income. Many of the templates have been used to target tens of thousands of prospective clients."
Every broker who signs up to the EuroDebt Introducer Scheme has a unique Introducer reference and the option to have a co-branded referral website, which can link from their own website or stand-alone. Some brokers use this to make their own referrals and others use it as a direct-to-consumer referral portal with a supporting 0800 number. The Introducer reference is used to track all referrals and ensure commission is paid promptly to the broker.
