WE HELP
GUIDE THE WAY
Our core values draw us toward helping our clients and members find the right financial solutions to suit their specific needs and capabilities.
This guidance can lead you down a number of avenues, which will make planning and securing your financial future possible.
HOW DO WE MAKE MONEY?
TRANSPARENCY
We don’t charge our clients for our consulting services. Our goal is to help educate you and guide you, so you can make confident decisions you’ll feel good about.
Instead, we receive a flat fee from the service providers we may assist you to partner with.
TheAdvantage have a broad range of long-standing, tried and trusted suppliers and partners who we feel proud and confident to recommend to you. The reason we have selected this flat-fee pricing model is so we can be completely transparent with you, our clients and friends.
The service we provide helps limit the amount of advertising money our partners have to spend – via TV, radio and online ads. So, this saving is passed onto you; and we are paid a flat fee for these referrals.
When we respond to your registration or enquiry, you can rest assured you are hearing from a trusted member of theAdvantage family. They will genuinely care about your needs, aspirations and concerns. They will help you to identify how we might help and then connect you with the right consultant to guide you through your journey.
Many of you may not know why we ask for certain information up front; its just so we know which customer relationship manager or consultant will be right for you.
