3 Proven Ways to Make Your RIA Outreach More Effective

FINTRX offers powerful intelligence to help asset managers discover these connections, making outreach more personalized and effective. In this blog, we’ll explore how distribution teams can use FINTRX's data and proprietary AI-powered tools to find warm leads through meaningful personal connections.

1. Understanding the Power of Shared Interests

People are naturally drawn to others with similar hobbies or interests, whether it’s golfing, tennis, or gardening. These shared passions create perfect conversation starters and a foundation for building relationships. FINTRX’s detailed data on personal hobbies and interests allows asset managers to easily identify prospects who share common activities, making outreach feel more personal and authentic.

Here are some examples of hobbies & interests found in the FINTRX database:

By filtering through these, asset managers can tailor their outreach, mentioning a shared interest or experience that makes the conversation more relatable.

2. Uncovering Warm Leads Through Alumni Networks

Alumni networks are another powerful way to forge connections with potential leads. Graduating from the same university creates an instant bond and provides a natural basis for building trust. FINTRX’s extensive database helps asset managers identify prospects’ alma maters, allowing them to target individuals who share a similar educational background.

When you reach out to someone who attended the same school as you, there’s an inherent sense of camaraderie. Whether discussing your university’s culture, reminiscing about old memories, or even connecting over a mutual love for school sports teams, these commonalities make your outreach more relevant and engaging.

Here’s a snapshot of alumni data from the FINTRX platform:

Leveraging alumni data enables asset managers to identify prospects who are more likely to respond based on shared academic experiences, opening doors to networking opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

3. Leverage Your (And Your Team’s) Network

LinkedIn is one of the most valuable tools for asset managers to connect with prospects. However, manually searching for the right connections can be time-consuming. That’s where FINTRX’s AI-powered Relationship Path feature can simplify the process by tapping into your LinkedIn network to identify the most relevant connections.

By tapping into your LinkedIn network, FINTRX visualizes potential connections to key prospects, helping you personalize outreach with mutual contacts or shared experiences. No more starting from scratch.
