Session 1 Program: Strategic Differentiation - Be The Advisor Your Clients Crave
Think you know what attracts clients to you? Think again.
Financial advisors need to answer two questions in order to attract new clients:
1. Why do I need a financial advisor? 2. From all the advisors out there, why should it be you?
The key for a successful answer to number two is your competitive advantage, your strategic differentiator, and most advisors get it wrong. If you're not getting as many new clients as you would like, this is probably a big part of the reason.
This program will show you: - The keys to describing what sets you apart - Create a compelling description of what you do - Learn how to stand out in a crowded marketplace - Confirm what your clients value most - Enlist your best prospects to help you write your marketing plan.
Steve coaches financial advisors to be more effective and successful by developing more client-connected and client-driven practices. He consults financial practitioners on many practice management issues, including strategic differentiation, client advisory boards, and implementing technology.
