Financial Advisors testimonial challenges

Every financial advisors team we talk to runs into the same testimonial problems. Boast solves some, ignores others.

Managing someone's money requires extraordinary trust that credentials and certifications alone can't build

SEC and FINRA compliance concerns have historically discouraged advisors from soliciting testimonials

Competing against robo-advisors and digital platforms requires demonstrating the human value of your service

Wealthy prospects make decisions through referral networks that are hard to penetrate without social proof

How VideoTestimonials solves them

What you actually get in VideoTestimonials that Boast doesn't fully address for financial advisors.

Since the SEC Marketing Rule's November 2022 compliance date, advisers can use testimonials with the required disclosures — collect them with a consent step and publish them with those disclosures

Embed client testimonials on your services page to show prospects the peace of mind your clients experience

Build a Wall of Love that showcases long-term client relationships and the human side of financial planning

Share client stories in educational content and webinars to nurture prospects through long consideration cycles

FAQs for Financial Advisors

Are financial advisor testimonials allowed under SEC and FINRA rules?
Yes, for registered investment advisers. The SEC Marketing Rule (compliance date November 4, 2022) permits testimonials and endorsements with clear and prominent disclosures. Add those disclosures on the page that shows the testimonials; VideoTestimonials doesn't add them automatically. Broker-dealers follow FINRA's communications rules, so check with your compliance team.
What disclosures are required for financial advisor testimonials?
Required disclosures typically include whether the person is a current client, whether they were compensated, and a statement that the testimonial may not be representative of all client experiences. Consult your compliance team for specific requirements.
Can I transfer my Boast videos to VideoTestimonials?
Yes. Download your videos from Boast and upload them to VideoTestimonials. We support all common video formats.
Does VideoTestimonials support NPS surveys like Boast?
Yes. You can include NPS rating questions in your testimonial collection forms alongside video and text prompts.
Is VideoTestimonials easier to use than Boast?
Our users consistently report that VideoTestimonials is more intuitive with a modern interface, drag-and-drop form builder, and simpler widget configuration.
