The Profitable Advisor Podcast

Corona is Not Just a Beer


Listen Later

The coronavirus outbreak has hit the financial world pretty hard and now is a crucial time for advisors as we help clients from making critical mistakes with their portfolio. It’s also a significant time for your business and operation as we move away from in-person communication and towards webinars.

This episode is meant to serve a couple different purposes for our advisors. First, we need to all understand that we’ll get through this. It might be a time of high anxiety and worry, but we want you to know that we’ve been through this before and are here if you need to reach out.

Along those same lines, it’s also important for you to know that your job is essential in times like these. Your clients will want to end the pain and sell, but that could cause irreparable damage to their portfolio. Be there for them and help them get through this downturn because there are things we can be doing with their plan to take advantage of a time like this. We’ll go through a couple of those strategies on this show.

The second purpose of this show is to discuss marketing strategies as our culture is complete shifting away from in-person meetings and seminars. Many advisors have relied on these for years and years, but who knows how long it will take people to get comfortable around large groups again. It could be years and your business doesn’t have time to wait.

We’ll discuss the future of virtual meetings and webinars. How difficult is the tech to use? What platform should you choose? And we even share a webinar that we’ve created and used that is available to you now. About 95% of the work is done for you so it can be implemented immediately. You’ll hear about it on the show but you can also find it at RetirementVirus.com.

Take care, stay healthy, and remain strong.
