Leverage Our Resources
Advisor Support
Marketing
We have a robust marketing strategy with a substantial number of different campaigns each year. Our various campaigns throughout the year generate thousands of leads to advisors and create additional value-adds for current clients. With our in-house studio, we are able to produce a highly rated radio, cable television, and podcast show in multiple top markets, which bring in new leads. Through email marketing, we are able to engage with leads and clients through our weekly and monthly newsletters, engagement emails, and downloadables. Marketing works alongside business development for lead nurturing and has dozens of classes, webinars, and workshops in multiple office location to bring in thousands of annual leads. In addition, marketing works closely with our in-house Media team to create highly viewed social media videos and posts.
Business Development
Our Business Development department has a dedicated team of hardworking professionals that follow up with all interested leads and set hundreds of appointments weekly for our advisors. Our advisors don’t need to cold call, go to networking meetings, or solicit to friends and family members because our team manages referral relationships and advances leads down the pipeline. They get appointments on our advisor’s books so they can focus on financial planning and creating meaningful connections that grow from lead to client.
Planning Department
At Pure, we have a dedicated staff with different designations (CFP®, CPA, JD, AIF®, etc.) to help design and create financial plans for our advisors. They analyze clients’ information and create extensive reports for advisor meetings. Our advisors do not have to do any data entry, research, or any of the heavy lifting that comes with the planning process. Our Planning Department supports advisors as soon as the first appointment is set and continues to provide aid throughout the entire planning process. Again, freeing up valuable time for our advisors.
Operations
We have a dedicated team to help facilitate and monitor the processing of new accounts and transfers. Our Client Services team helps process all paperwork, handles client requests, and specializes in several different functions to make the client’s relationship with Pure seamless.
Investment Management
Our advisors do not place trades, research, or pick stocks; all of this is done for them by our dedicated team of Certified Financial Analysts® who handle all of the portfolio construction and management. Our Investment Management team designs and manages all tax-efficient portfolios providing daily performance reporting for the client. They monitor portfolios daily for rebalancing, asset location, and tax loss harvesting.
Compliance
Our full in-house compliance department ensures all business activities are carried out within the regulatory framework and stays up-to-date on increased regulations within the industry.
Data Applications and Technology
Our Information Technology (IT) team ensures everyone at Pure is equipped with up-to-date technology keeping us on the cutting edge of technology to help streamline the advisors’ business and maintain work efficiency. They integrate various financial planning, CRM, and marketing software for improved work efficiency. In addition, they are gathering and analyzing data to provide robust reports. Our IT team provides technical support and ongoing improvements as technology advances.
Human Resources
Our Human Resources department provides education, support, and ongoing training. HR’s role is instrumental in enhancing Pure’s positive workplace culture and values as we expand and continue to grow. At Pure, we offer healthcare and insurance plans with supplemental insurance options, paid holiday and vacation time, flexible spending accounts, long-term disability coverage, a 4% match of your 401(k), vision care discounts and savings, and professional development.
