Financial advisors often follow traditional methods and teachings in their profession. However, it's crucial to recognize that the conventional approach may not always prioritize the most effective communication with clients. It's time to shift in perspective, where advisors focus on delivering the right message and guidance to truly benefit their clients.  

The initial introduction meeting with a client is the "lifeblood" of your business. It sets the tone for your relationship and can make or break the future collaboration.

One of the biggest mistakes advisors can make is to wing it in their first intro meeting. Instead, have a clear and defined framework for guiding your conversation. 

Lara sits down with Brendan Frazier, the founder of Wired Planning, to discuss the two questions you should ask your clients during your intro meeting: What prompted this meeting? And why now?

Remember, a well-structured initial meeting can set the stage for a successful and mutually beneficial relationship. 

In this episode, you'll learn key concepts on: 

  • Skipping the small talk for better responses and meaningful insights
  • Promoting client engagement by prompting the "3 E's"
  • Effectively communicating your value for relevance and appeal
  • Encouraging client input for improved meeting satisfaction
  • And more!

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
