Financial Advisor Marketing Podcast

Why Growing A Financial Advice Business Is So Freaking Difficult


Listen Later

Let me tell you a secret that might cause you so much frustration that you close out this episode… or that will give you the "ah-ha" moment your subconscious has been desperately searching for.

It has to do with your approach to marketing and it answers the question of why growing a financial advice business is so freaking difficult.

The secret?

Your marketing sucks because you believe marketing equals providing information.

This is why prospective clients overflow with objections to your sales presentations… why your calendar is collecting more digital dust than PDFs in your Downloads file… and why, no matter what you say or how many hours you spend working, your business NEVER grows.

In fact, overwhelming prospective clients with information and education makes them far less likely to hire you as their financial advisor compared to the new approach you'll learn in this episode.

Listen now.

Show highlights include:

  • Why your business doing "fine" is the single most dangerous place it can be (1:16)
  • How a simple shift in your marketing can help you book more high-quality appointments in the next 30 days than you have in the past 6 months combined (1:56)
  • The "Teacher Trap" that nearly all middling financial advice businesses fall into that stifles their growth, forces prospects to run to the closest competitor, and fills you with endless frustration (2:33)
  • How to "hijack" prospective clients' nervous systems and ethically give them no other option other than paying your fees (2:54)
  • Why telling silly stories, even ones that have nothing to do with financial advice at all, will not only make your calendar fill up, but your client roster too (3:21)
  • Two embarrassingly simple ways (that almost no financial advisor uses) to make prospective clients' "short circuit" and give you their undivided attention and trust (4:53)
  • A weird "glitch" almost all financial advisors have that intimates prospective clients and makes them freeze instead of pay your fees (7:02)
  • How being a narrator of your thoughts in your marketing copy works almost too well for making prospects eager to hire you (8:34)
  • Why lots of financial advisors market in a way where it is neurologically impossible for people to become clients (and how to avoid this fatal mistake) (12:11)
  • The simple, but powerful trick for framing your high fees as a reason to trust you (14:41)
