“They are uniquely qualified to help banks and credit unions significantly improve their ability to cross sell,” says Rose.

American Brokerage Consultants was established in 1987 by its CEO, Dick Ayotte and has been managed by him for its 26-year history. Ayotte was one of the original developers of Invest Financial Corp., the nation’s first securities broker-dealer to provide retail investment services through banks. When Invest was acquired by Kemper in 1986, Ayotte started American Brokerage Consultants. The company’s national studies provide a plethora of statistical data that help financial institutions measure their performance relative to their peers.

“The data,” says Ayotte, “helped us identify the key factors that promote growth, generate fee income, and increase share of wallet and profitability. Through our study of retail brokerage, we gained a solid understanding of the challenges and opportunities to growing many lines of business including investments, insurance, trust, and financial institution owned insurance agencies.”

Many of these business lines that were once considered ancillary are becoming more mainline, as banks continue to search for ways to increase revenue. “The consumer should see their financial institution through a single lens, not a bunch of separate product silos,” according to Rose. “One key to success is improving integration by harnessing the power of the retail bank to support all business lines.”

It is no question that times are changing. Fewer people visit bank branches as a rapidly increasing number of touch points are now digital. “The ways of communicating with customers need to change as well,” says Rose, “both where and how. A longer list of product messages isn’t the answer. Financial institutions need to communicate on the consumers’ terms, providing information to make better decisions, especially around life events when they are 43 percent more likely to buy a financial product.”

Ayotte notes that “It is clear from the many industry peer group and statistical comparisons we have done at American Brokerage that many financial institutions are doing only a fraction of the business they could be doing. My role at Truebridge is to make the industry aware of the innovative and efficient solutions that are available to fix this problem and explore the development of new product and distribution opportunities.”

An industry expert, Fairley is not only an established website broker, but a successful website owner too. He specializes in appraising and selling Internet-based businesses and maximizing his clients’ financial success.

WebsiteProperties.com provides valuable industry advice, current market valuations and key insights on preparing and selling established and profitable website businesses.

Fairley, a well-known Internet entrepreneur, has owned, operated and sold more than 65 website businesses including the wildly successful Hammocks.com and Strollers.com.

“It was those experiences that led me to become a website broker,” Fairley says. “I wanted others to benefit from my experience and, at the time, there were no other brokers who were knowledgeable about online business fundamentals and valuations. After all, it’s not just about brick and mortar businesses anymore. Some of the most successful businesses such as Amazon, Google, Zappos and eBay are all Internet-based.”

Fairley adds that WebsiteProperties.com represents the “cream of the crop.”

“Our clients’ website businesses are vetted to ensure they have strong fundamentals and complete, accurate and verifiable financial data,” he says. “Our buyers include top Internet 500 CEOs, private equity groups, Internet entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and high-net worth individuals who have come to expect high quality listings with fair market selling prices and thorough documentation.”

And, unlike conventional business brokers who primarily list and sell traditional brick and mortar business, Website Properties only represents and sells online businesses.

“Internet businesses are a viable business option for many people,” Fairley says. “They’re easy to relocate, require lower overhead, are often highly automated and scalable, operate 24/7, and are accessible to a global marketplace. They also sell quickly. Internet businesses average three and a half to five months; brick and mortar-based businesses average 13-15 months.”

WebsiteProperties.com coaches sellers how to prepare for an optimal sale. Keeping accurate books and presenting financial and statistical data that is easily verified during due diligence is critical. In addition, operating the business professionally and maintaining or growing it while in the selling process shows confidence to any prospective buyer. It becomes more compelling and attractive and typically leads to a quick sale on the higher end of the market.

About Website Properties:
Website Properties specializes in selling established website businesses that range from $100,000 to $10 million. To date, it has sold more than 250 websites for a total of $40 million.

Its brokerage services are comprehensive and staff works with clients from start to finish. The process for buyers and sellers begins with establishing a clear and well-focused picture of business goals.
