Taking the necessary steps to close the racial wealth gap. A podcast conversation with the leaders of J&G Legacy Financial Group, Jabbar Jamison and Centario Grier.

This is a Winning Through Culture Greatest Hits episode!

In this episode of Winning Through Culture, Tim Flanagan chats with Jabbar Jamison and Centario Grier. Together, Jabbar and Centario formed a partnership that is J&G Legacy Financial Group. They share a passion for serving the black community in achieving their financial goals. And in that passion, J&G Legacy Group is working to close the racial wealth gap that exists. Conversations on that topic are critical. And having the opportunity to have this conversation with successful advisors supporting the black community is something we feel is essential. Jabbar and Centario credit their success to the fact that they have built trust with those they help — this trust provides a sense of comfort to the client. And that comfort leads to referrals within the community that they are proud to serve.

“Generating business referrals without asking.” 

This is a Winning Through Culture Greatest Hits episode!

In this episode of Winning Through Culture, Tim Flanagan is joined by Stacey Randall. Stacey shares humbling stories of past business failures that enabled her to find the vision of creating a culture to generate new business without asking. She even wrote the book on it, literally. She is the author of the 2018 award-winning book, Generating Business Referrals Without Asking, “A Simple Five-Step Plan to a Referral Explosion.”

Stacey is also the host of the podcast, Roadmap To Grow Your Business

Tim and Stacey provide WTC listeners with a thought-provoking conversation that is only deepened by their connection as former co-workers in the financial industry. Stacey recognizes that every step along the way was a building block to future success. And in that, she credits her faith and her family as primary driving factors in her overall success. 

About the book, Generating Business Referrals Without Asking:

Every business needs referrals from satisfied clients. A good referral can lead to a closed sale faster and easier than any other lead. But let’s face it. Asking for referrals can be awkward. And asking is often ineffective. That’s why Stacey Brown Randall developed a method of getting referrals – without asking. In her book Generating Business Referrals Without Asking, she shares her system for revolutionizing any business. Her structured approach reduces the hustle and increases productivity and profit. With Randall’s system, you can stop wasting time and money marketing to cold leads and stalking would-be clients on social media. And you can start doing what you love most – providing the excellent service that made you go into business in the first place. In Generating Business Referrals Without Asking, you’ll get Randall’s five steps to steady business growth, case studies from business professionals, and a step-by-step roadmap that even the busiest business owner can implement.

‘Best Places to Work’ recognizes business cultures that foster leadership development.

In this episode, we explore topics related to intentionally implementing a culture of transparency in which employees feel “heard, understood, and appreciated”. The Charlotte Business Journal utilizes a scientific approach in selecting those elite businesses that qualify for the coveted title.

Being open to self-awareness is a key quality that will benefit a business leader in understanding.

COVID-19 forever altered company cultures and it is the company’s responsibility to adapt accordingly.

“Vulnerability in leadership” helps foster a safe environment in which accountability is reciprocal and employees are free to express themselves.

Companies that are moving forward post-pandemic are continuing to find innovative ways of keeping employees engaged.

“Authentic communication”, especially the hard conversations, are necessary in order to “foster trust and deepen the relationship” between employer and employee.

A culture of “trust and camaraderie” at all levels of the organization makes employees feel that they are “being heard.”
