I’d heard of Voyant and had seen it in action over the years, but I had never taken my occasional perusal further. Ultimately, I decided I wanted Voyant to help me enhance the client experience I provide and build long-lasting[relationships](https://voyantblog.wordpress.com/2020/04/17/how-were-maintaining-positive-client-relationships/). Since 2016, we have been proud users of Voyant, primarily because of the value it adds to our client relationships.  Many of us are visual learners, and Voyant plays a crucial role in creating a vision for our clients to invest in. After the UK shut down due to COVID, I had time to reflect on our work, attend webinars, and learn. In one webinar, a colleague was talking about the power of [goal based](https://voyantblog.wordpress.com/2020/07/07/can-we-skip-financail-planning/) financial planning, my initial thoughts were: *well, that’s what we do.* The more I listened, the more I questioned: Weren’t we using Voyant enough with our clients? The truth is I use it often, but I could use it more. My vision for our business changed during lockdown. Now, in my view, there is no excuse not to use Voyant. Why invest without goals? Why see a financial adviser who can’t help you visualize your future with them? New clients have come to us in recent weeks, excited for their [futures](https://voyantblog.wordpress.com/2020/04/15/ruth-sturkey-post-pandemic-work-predictions/). When they see the real value we can add through their plans, they are excited, and we all need that right now, don’t we? 2020 will be an essential year for Pape Wealth Management, and I believe it will take our client experience to another level. As Epictetus said, *Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens*. Rather than worrying about what new [technology](https://voyantblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/27/remote-technology-austin-garvey/) we are not using I have decided to make better use of the technology we already have. ![Dominic Paper](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/dominic-pape-headshot-May-01-2024-12-41-00-5674-AM.jpg?width=287&height=431&name=dominic-pape-headshot-May-01-2024-12-41-00-5674-AM.jpg) *Dominic started his career in Financial Services in 2009 with Nationwide Building Society, after a successful 5 years covering branches across Essex and London he left to join the St. James’s Place partnership and formed [Pape Wealth Management](https://www.papewealthmanagement.co.uk/) at age 26. Pape Wealth Management now services over 400 clients across East Anglia and London and has recently moved into new premises on Fox’s Marina, Ipswich to house their growing team.* Advertisement     *Outside of work Dominic is a fanatical Sports fan, enjoys going to the gym, reading and most importantly spending time with his wife Erin and daughter Orla, they are expecting their second daughter imminently.*     [Adviser Insights](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/adviser-insights), [Voyant UK](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/voyant-uk), [visualization](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/visualization), [cash flow modeling](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/cash-flow-modeling), [voyant](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/voyant) ## Related posts [![](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/dual-chart-view-hover-year-2.png?height=200&name=dual-chart-view-hover-year-2.png)](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/2020/07/28/new-release-chart-functionalities) [Voyant US](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/voyant-us), [Voyant Release News](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/voyant-release-news), [Voyant UK](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/voyant-uk), [voyant](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/voyant), [new release](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/new-release), [Voyant Ireland](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/voyant-ireland), [AdviserGo](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/advisergo), [chart refactor](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/tag/chart-refactor) ## [NEW RELEASE: Chart Improvements](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/2020/07/28/new-release-chart-functionalities) [Voyant](https://blog.planwithvoyant.com/author/voyant) Jul 28, 2020 12:00:00 AM Here at Voyant, we’ve always thought seeing is believing.
