Episode 19: What to expect when you first meet with a Financial Planner

In this episode, Warren Shute and Paul Cleworth walk you through what really happens in a first client meeting — and how to make sure yours feels less like a cold sales pitch and more like the start of an empowering journey. Think of it as your client’s first step onto the Yellow Brick Road — and you're there as their guide, helping them find clarity, courage, and confidence about their future.

Warren and Paul break down the essential ingredients for a truly meaningful first meeting: warm hospitality, a calm and welcoming setting (with proper biscuits!), and a tone that’s informal but purposeful. You’ll hear how the goal isn’t to impress with technical know-how, but to really listen — to values, goals, fears, and dreams.

If you're serious about elevating your client onboarding, just click your heels and watch this episode, it will help you turn first meetings from transactional to transformational.
