Everyone has heard the phrase “Target Marketing” but few advisors actually understand what a “target” market actually is. In this episode, Scott and Ken look at what constitutes an actual target market and what is merely another way of talking about “people who have money”.

Everyone has to make decisions that have consequences from time to time in life. We call these “big” decisions that can impact the quality of life for years. Research in Behavioral Economics over the past several decades has revealed an important insight that goes counter to our usual intuition; that is, the bigger the decision we are facing the MORE likely we will be impacted by built-in vulnerabilities that cause us to be impulsive or to oversimplify the problem we must solve.

In this fast-paced Podcast Scott and Ken explore the implications of narrow framing on individuals and families who accumulate wealth, and reveal how financial advisors can use this understanding from Behavioral Economics to work more effectively with both prospects and clients. Because narrow framing happens automatically and outside of the human being’s awareness, revealing how the brain can be tricked into over-simplifying the investment process often comes as an important, even shocking surprise to a new client. The exploration concludes with practical guidance for how an advisor can use these insights to manage important conversations with prospects and clients.

In this wide-ranging conversation Ken and Rob explore how the simple act of listening carefully to what a client is saying - and what a client is not saying - to more deeply understand what they actually need. It is far too easy for advisors to get caught up in explaining what they do and how they do it, and to neglect the simple act of actively exploring a client’s hopes and dreams and fears about the future. Rob explains how slowing down and allowing the client to think about the complexity of their financial life and to feel what this part of their life means to them can actually move some clients to tears. This redefines the fabric of relationship between the advisor and the client, solidifies the working relationship and opens up a much wider range of opportunities for the advisor to provide solutions to the client’s most urgent challenges. As Truist Wealth advisors have developed more advanced listening skills and a deeper commitment to understanding their clients there has been a direct and positive impact on the success of their businesses. The conversation weaves back and forth from philosophical to highly practical with a consistent focus on the power of listening to transform the working relationship between advisor and client.

The annual client review is one of the best times for a financial advisor to strengthen client trust and support retention. To reach its full potential, an annual client review meeting should be distinct from a typical portfolio performance review, and advisors should have an explicit plan for how to deliver their message. In this episode, Ken Haman, Managing Director of AB’s Advisor Institute, details how to develop and execute an effective client review.

Wealthy families often face significant decisions about the ultimate dispensation of their wealth. Uniquely successful clients typically want to transfer some of their wealth to the next generation or two. Many also wish to make philanthropic gifts during and after their lifetimes. Unfortunately, some people make these decisions without a clear sense of the impact that a gift would have on their own future financial security and, as a result, delay making meaningful gifts. Here, Scott and Ken show how an advanced financial planning tool can create a gifting capacity analysis to help families answer the question “How much can I afford to give?”

It is important to note that not all Financial Advisors are consultants or investment managers; consulting and investment management are advisory activities, not brokerage activities, and are governed by different securities laws and also by different firm procedures and guidelines. For some clients, only brokerage functions can be performed for a client, unless the client utilizes one or more advisory products. Further, Financial Advisors must follow their firm’s internal policies and procedures with respect to certain activities (e.g., advisory, financial planning) or when dealing with certain types of clients (e.g., trusts, foundations). In addition, it is important to remember that any outside business activity including referral networks be conducted in accordance with your firm’s policies and procedures. Contact your branch manager and/or compliance department with any questions regarding your business practices, creating a value proposition or any other activities (including referral networks). It is important to remember that (i) all planning services must be completed in accordance with your firm’s internal policies and procedures; (ii) you may only use approved tools, software and forms in the performance of planning services; and (iii) only Financial Advisors who are properly licensed may engage in financial planning.
