- Invest in Marketing: Successful Forex and Binary Options brokers know that acquisition is the lifeblood of the business and so they invest in marketing campaigns and lead generation systems that create a flow of constant, quality leads.
- Honesty: Brokers who are looking to remain in the industry for the long haul know that reputation is key and make an effort to maintain a high level of trust from their clients by implementing procedures for good customer service, dispute resolution and fund withdrawals.
- Strong sales teams: A brokerage’s sales staff is what makes the difference between a business that fails and one that succeeds. A brokerage that understands the importance of a capable sales team makes an effort to hire professional and experienced sales personnel, pays them well, and implements programs to keep them motivated that range from bonuses and awards to additional training and mentoring.
- Support: A lot of brokers put most of their efforts into their top line and relegate other departments, such as technical and customer support. Successful brokers however, understand that support is the face of the company when dealing with dissatisfied or disgruntled customers and invest in high quality personnel and on their proper training.
- Risk Management: Successful brokers know the importance of managing their risk and implement tools and/or establish teams to handle the brokerage’s risk management.
- Maximize leads: In today’s extremely competitive market, successful Forex and Binary Options brokers look for ways to maximize the value of every lead they generate by recycling leads between various brands and converting FX lead into Binary lead and vice versa.
- Monitor and evaluate constantly: Even when times are prosper, a successful broker will constantly monitor and evaluate their offerings, their teams, their processes and their target markets and look for growth opportunities
