Are there some clients that you don't connect well with? When they call, you'd rather not pick up?  If this sounds like you, you are not alone!

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers have some clients that they just don't connect with. They have never had a process for forging a connection with negative clients.

Think of it this way, clients who are being negative are being...

Have you ever had a great production month followed by an average or even a terrible one? What I mean is, chances are that if you’ve been in the industry for some time, you may have noticed a pattern when it comes to your gross production—and it’s directly related to prospecting. I call this pattern The Peaks and Valleys of Prospecting, which means that most financial advisors an...

Breaking bad news is never easy, especially when it comes to money, the market, or not getting the coverage that your client wants. But one thing is certain: at some point in your career, you are going to have to break bad news to someone. The real question is, has anyone ever expressed to you the best way to do that?

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a spec...

Are you managing your clients, or are your clients managing you? That’s a question that you may never have asked yourself before. 

At the end of the day, are you drained, run-down, and burned out because you have been doing everything you can for clients that call up and ask for your attention on something immediately?

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a wel...

Do prospects view you as a product pusher or a problem solver? It’s a tough question that you may not want to know the answer to.  

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a well-thought-out process for becoming what I call “A Professional Problem Solver.” The reason is that they’ve never really learned a step-wise approach to helping people understand that the pr...

Do you want to take your business to the next level, but you're unsure how? It might be as simple as identifying the red flags in your sales pipeline. What I mean is, chances are you have a few red flags (or clogs) in your sales pipeline that are holding you back from achieving the success you’ve always wanted. And if you don’t know what those red flags are, you’ll never be able to overcome them.

Does that sound like you? If so, yo...

Does it feel like your clients are on an emotional roller coaster whenever the market experiences a significant pullback? Do you find yourself receiving more calls from concerned clients? If so, you're not alone.

All financial advisors will experience market volatility at some point in their careers. The longer the market remains volatile, the more some clients become anxious. When this happens, most financial advisors reactively m...

Do you control your day, or does your day control you?

If you're unsure, one way to tell is by looking at how your days unfold and how you react to what happens. Do you start each morning with the best intentions, knowing precisely what you want to accomplish, only to reach the end of the day wondering where the time went—and r...

Is your business in a slump or spiraling downward, and you don’t know what to do? If so, know that you are not alone.

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a well-thought-out process for creating a comeback in their business.

Have you ever thought about investing in a business coach? Maybe you have, but you aren’t sure if it is right for you. Well, ask yourself this…how many Olympic gold medalists have had a coach? That’s right, all of them! And, why is that? It is because athletes from the major to the little leagues know the value of having an experienced professional help them get to the top of their game.

Do you ever feel like a month flies by too fast? Before you know it, the months string together, and you reach a new quarter, but you really aren’t any further along at growing your business than you were three months ago. Does this sound like you? If so, know that you are not alone.

Many financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a strategy to consistently compartmentali...

Do you love to prospect? Do you get into the office and can’t wait to make that first call? Well, if you are like most advisors and agents, you don’t! You probably look for anything else to do rather than prospecting. Does this sound like you?

I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying, “Time flies when you are having fun,” but have you ever thought about why it flies so quickly? What would it take for you to find fun doing what you do in your business? Do you know how to be “in the zone”?

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t understand what it takes to fi...

Do you ever have the best of intentions and yet feel a little lost with your business soon after the New Year? What I mean is that the time between New Year’s and the end of the first quarter is often a blur, and as a result, you may not feel like you are on your way to accomplishing the goals you set just weeks ago. Does this sound like you? If so, know that you are not alone.

Many financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers...

How do you measure success in your business? Do you measure it only by one set of measurements, accomplishing goals? For example, the goal is to gather twenty-four million in new assets in a year. If you achieve it, you succeed, but if you don’t, you fail. It seems pretty straightforward. 

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branc...

Have you ever created a business plan in January only to realize that you aren’t following it by March or April? Does this sound familiar? If so, know this… you, are not alone.

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers and even agency managers don’t have a well thought out process for getting to the next level. They start out the year with their business plans with the best of intentions, only to get s...

In fact, it might feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster ride, wanting to grow your business but not feeling confident in your ability to do so. Does this sound like you?

Do you know what it takes to create a record setting year? You might be thinking that it’s simple- if I do more, I will get better results. 

The problem with that is, that you’re just working harder.  In order to create a record setting year, you have to know how to work smarter. 

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have processes and systems to create a record-set...

Do you have a well-thought-out strategy to start your day off right? Like many, you might not. Instead, you probably have morning routines on auto-pilot, like making your bed, brushing your teeth, and running out the door with a cup of coffee in your hand, ready to battle morning rush hour traffic. If so, know that you are not alone!

Have you ever wondered how successful advisors keep reaching the next level? Some people might say that it is just luck, while others might say it’s about skill. I believe that it really comes down to one simple but powerful thing that they apply each and every day. It’s all about having efficient and productive business habits!
