The industry doesn’t need more advisors handing out generic advice—it needs leaders who communicate with language that transforms. 

In this episode, Chris Smith shares the simple seven-word framework he’s used to help RIAs and wealth-management firms move up-market, win higher-value clients, and stop being the “best-kept secret.”

Pulled straight from a live Advisor Edge training, you’ll learn:

  • Why leadership + language are the only real tools you control
  • How to escape the commodity trap and become pre-eminent in your niche
  • The 7-word “Who / What / How” exercise that makes prospects lean in
  • Real-time coaching examples you can model today
