Welcome to the Professional Partners Success Blueprint, a nine-part series on developing successful referral relationships with solicitors and accountants.

Why do financial advisers find developing these relationships so challenging? Well, largely it comes down to just two things: what they say and what they do or, to be more accurate, what they don't say and what they don't do!

In particular, there are a number of issues that advisers often ignore or misjudge when they look to develop this market. Part 1 looks at the following issues:

• Reputational risk

• Poor targeting

• No structure, strategy or objectives

• No nurturing

• Poor follow-up

• Lack of patience and persistence

• Unrealistic expectations
