  • The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP 113- Unclogging the Pipeline: Part II
    2024/11/19

    Do you ever have a first appointment with a new prospect only to realize later that it was also a last appointment? The prospect didn’t want to meet again to hear your recommendations. Instead, they said they needed to speak to their spouse first or check their calendar. In reality, they didn’t see the value in meeting again, and when you followed up, they never returned your calls. Can you relate to this? If so, know that you are not alone!

    Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a systematic way of connecting with a prospect during the first appointment! They don’t take the time to understand each of the possible challenges that can clog the first appointment section of the pipeline, nor the solutions to tackle those obstacles. As a result, they go into the first appointment telling prospects about themselves rather than taking time to ask about the prospect.

    This episode shares practical strategies that successful advisors and agents have used to unclog the pipeline with the First Appointment. These are not just theoretical concepts but actionable steps you can implement in your practice.

  • The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP 127- Creating Your Client Connection System
    2024/10/22

    Do you feel connected to your clients? Or, maybe a better question is, do your clients feel connected to you? If you don’t have a systematic way of connecting with them, the answer is probably “no”. And if that's the case, know that you are not alone.

    Many financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers lack a consistent way of connecting with clients. They have never seen creating a client connection system as a necessary task, let alone something to implement. As a result, some clients may not feel appreciated, which can lead to a decline in loyalty and trust.

  • The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP 125- Attracting Your Ideal Clients
    2024/10/08

    Are you consistently attracting ideal clients? Do you have a system to get in front of your target market or, even more importantly, someone who could be an “A-Client”? If not, know that you are not alone.

    Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a process for consistently attracting their ideal clients. Unfortunately, they have never learned a step-wise approach to being able to identify, much less attract, the type of clients that they have always wanted. Instead, they typically utilize a hit-or-miss approach to building and growing their client base. As a result, they have fewer ideal clients than they would like.

    This episode shares practical strategies successful advisors and agents have used to attract ideal clients. These are not just theoretical concepts but actionable steps you can implement in your practice.
