If I told you that I knew of a guaranteed way to to accelerate building trust with your clients, prospects, and even your team… would you think I was full of bologna?

I know. It sounds crazy. But 1 Crazy is my jam and 2 I’ve got a guest today who’s got the numbers to back up this claim. 

This episode matters to you because we are communicating all the time. We’re communicating even when we’re not communicating. Not sending your clients a follow up email as promised, definitely communicates something – and it isn’t good. So having an amazing tool to utilize in all the different forms of communication you use is critical. 

Today, my guest Deirdre Van Nest, is going to share with you:

• How to add “lighter fluid” to all of your conversations, presentations, and marketing activities
• The 3 types of stories you need in your toolbox and when to use which one
• How to use this tool across all lines of communication: workshops, social media, blog posts, and—of course—client meetings. 
• The KEY components to a really compelling lighter fluid story

This episode is going to be super actionable and I know you are going to listen to it and be able to add these elements to your business right away. Like later today.

You might remember just a short period of time ago when Jeremy was on the podcast sharing how he TRIPLED his referral in just 1 year… it was so good. 

Well, when were recording that episode we were just riffing on other things and you know I talk A LOT about stepping into that CEO role and really RUNNING your business instead of it running you. And, Jeremy and I were chatting and I thought you would like to hear some of the tips and tricks that he’s uncovered that have propelled his practice into the stratosphere.

In this episode Jeremy and I talk about:

• His client experience tips & tricks
• How he defined and markets his “not so unique” unique niche
• How he developed and morphed his practice from the onset to where it is now
• How he stepped into his CEO role and some mindset hacks around building a team
• What Frank Sinatra and Frankie Valli taught him about running his practice
• The 3 main functions of your business that you need to pay attention to 
• His “tests” to find the MOST IDEAL team mates
  
  

So I invite you in to join our discussion and I know you will walk away with a ton of ideas that you can implement in your business RIGHT AWAY. Links from Today’s Episode

Today I am going to straight up give you my standard operating procedure for when a client passes away. 

Why? Well #1 because the Efficient Advisor Community voted that they wanted more examples of systems and processes that we used in my practice when I was scaling the business. 

And, #2 because I want to show you how SIMPLE it is to create and SOP and how you can create one for literally EVERYTHING. 

I know the death of a client seems like kind of a morbid example, but let’s be real. This happens to every advisor. Your clients pass away. AND, because you’re listening to this I know you’re the type of an advisor that really cares about taking care of their clients and showing up for them during really tough times. 

In today’s episode you will:

1. Learn how simple it is to make an effective SOP
2. See an actual editable example of my SOP
3. See what’s important to be included on a SOP
4. Be challenged to create more of these in your business so you can streamline your practice and execute that TOP NOTCH client service level you want to deliver

I love when you carve out the time to actual craft something with INTENTION. You do it once, and can reuse it and give tasks away like a boss. 

Often, as busy advisors and business owners we just fly by the seat of our pants for things like this and think, oh! I should send a card… and oh I should try to just call and say hi in a couple months, let me put in a reminder, and oh, wouldn’t it be nice if I sent another card around the anniversary…? Or maybe at Christmas?

Or maybe you’ve look back at an experience like losing a client and thought, man, I wish I would have done that better. 

Well… when those things occur, that means it’s SOP TIME!

Today I am letting you in on a conversation about how to handle clients, referrals and prospects that are just not a right fit for your practice with class and grace. 

Recently I’ve had a ton of Advisors come to me and say, 

👉 “Libby, how do you actually tell a client that they are not a good fit for your practice?” 

👉 “Libby, how do you tell a client or a center of influence that the referral they sent isn’t ideal?”  

👉 “How do I do this politely, and at the same time make my message really clear?”

👉 And,  “What do I do if I have a client who turns out to be way needier than I anticipated and I totally underpriced their plan and I’m worried about having them in my book long term?” 

So…. when I saw these messages coming through on Facebook in the Efficient advisor community I knew this was a topic that would require more than just a quick response. 

This week I hopped on a call with Advisor Vicky Lilley and we talked through these questions and I give EXACT strategies and EXACT language to use when you bump up against these issues!

In my humble opinion one of the main reasons your clients love you is because of the value that you provide. And you and I both know that value is created by educating and empowering your clients. 

When you can make complicated financial concepts easy to understand AND easy to remember… you will be priceless to your clients and they will… I repeat, they will refer you. 

So today I am sharing with you a tool to help you do just that. A resource for you to help you level up your client education by using visuals. 

I’m bringing in my brand new best friend (and triple threat) Dr. Ross Riskin to show you how to make a bigger and longer-lasting impact on your client education experience.

In today’s episode you’ll hear:

• How our clients’ brains process pictures versus words
• A major hack for simplifying complex concepts
• A ‘system’ to do visuals faster and more efficiently
• How to elevate ‘perceived’ and ‘actual’ levels of trust with your clients
• Why visual branding matters
• And…. how you can access your two free visuals!!!

Our conversation takes a few hard lefts and ends up in some really fun and interesting places. I know you are going to be very intrigued by what Dr. Ross and VisiWealth are creating for advisors.
