Just Mortgages’ self-employed division has seen strong demand for its New Starter Boost package since it launched in January.
The scheme is aimed at advisers moving into self-employment, offering pre-qualified leads, booked appointments, a commission advance scheme, and a digital marketing package.
In the first few months, advisers using the package generated more than £25,000 and secured over 120 appointments with an 80% attendance rate.
Over the last six months, digital marketing support helped 23% of adviser locations reach the top spot on Google, with 15% in the top three and 22% in the top 10.
Advisers using posting assistance saw approximately 415% more impressions on posts compared to those who did not use the service.
In the second quarter, advisers using the package received a total of 277 five-star Google reviews.
Ben Allkins, head of mortgages and protection at Just Mortgages, said: “We know the initial leap into self-employment can be really daunting, particularly when it comes to financial stability and building a client pipeline.
“These are the issues that this initiative aims to address to remove the barriers for ambitious advisers.
“We are thrilled with the success so far and to see such great early results.”
Allkins added: “It demonstrates the difference this model is making in giving advisers a real launching pad into their self-employed career and a strong foothold in their local area.
“With these firm foundations in place, brokers can draw on an expert management team and ongoing mentoring, training and support with day-to-day duties such as sales, marketing and compliance, but also in developing and actioning their own business plans.
“From there, we can provide routes into different licences, such as business protection and equity release, and even support advisers into become business principals, helping them to recruit, manage and develop their own team of advisers and admin staff.”
He said: “We’re incredibly proud of the support structure we place around each of our advisers, making sure they are fully equipped to launch and scale their own advice businesses.”
