What Would You Do Today If Results Were Guaranteed?

/in /by

Intriguing question right?

As you’re probably aware… there’s a high

correlation between confidence and taking action.

When you believe you can hit a home run — you’re much more likely to step up to the plate, swing with confidence… and likewise increase your chances of smashing the ball over the fence.

At this point… it’s perfectly fine if you want to picture a packed stadium of screaming fans all cheering and jumping up and down, because you just hit the game winner homer!

Psst…

Come close for sec.

I have to tell you a little secret that may upset some baseball loving advisors…

I’m really not a big baseball fan.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s fun to play and all…but to kick back and watch on the tube? Well, for me at least… I think I’ll opt for another form of entertainment.

BUT…

I think baseball is perfectly acceptable for metaphors and illustrating important points and whatnot.

Hence… my use of it hither here in thee example above.

So, back to the original question.

If you could boost the likelihood of nailing the results you seek, how would that change your approach?

What would that do for your attitude? Your confidence?

How long would it take you to act on ideas and strategies?

Obvious questions? Sorta. But still good to reflect on.

If you’re really interested in boosting your likelihood of hitting your goals… then you’ll be happy to hear that applications are now LIVE for the Marketer’s Club pilot launch!

Head on here to send in your application:

(I just may hook you up with a goodie either way).

How Looking at Attractive Models Helps You Build a Better Financial Practice

/in , , , /by

I’m a firm believer of “Modeling”.

No, I don’t mean the modeling done for Sports Illustrated covers… (Or that I did a few times back when I was a young fit buck).

I’m talking about scanning for successful business and marketing examples to borrow from.

While working at RWA, we were always on the lookout for processes and systems we could model to improve.

Take a doctor’s office for example…

There were several client and practice management systems and processes we borrowed.   Systems and processes you may want to consider modeling yourself.

Does it take more work and discipline to find and adopt new business systems?

Sure, at first.  But after they’re in place and you’re used to operating by them… business is better and life is easier.  Plus, the more systemized your business becomes… the more you can automate and scale.

That’s why I’ve made strategic marketing automation and systems design part of my skill-set.  I know this sounds somewhat like professional title lingo whatnot…

Just means I’m pretty savvy and work hard at making businesses run and grow better.

If you’re interested in “tapping-into” me ole’ brain.  You can book a Pro Bono Marketing Consult with me… where I can learn more about you and your business.

How’s Your Positioning?

/in , , , /by

Now…why should I choose you?

Don’t you just burst and bubble over with good vibes after hearing this?

You’ve arrived in front of a prospective client.  You KNOW you can get them results… and you’re piping hot and ready to deliver.   

You thought you’ve done your best to demonstrate you’re the advisor  who’s best suited to manage their assets.  You have a solid track record.   A proven ability to grow (and protect) client assets. 

Then…

You quickly realize… they’re kinda oblivious to all this.  They still see you as another advisor or salesman in a “sea of options”.  

Not good.

Can you salvage your weak positioning?  Sure.  But it’s going to take more work and “convincing” (Ahhh! such an ugly word!). 

When you have to start convincing a prospective client that they should choose you, you’re already at a disadvantage.  You begin to come across as “needy”.   

This is a recipe for busting your booty with little chance of collecting the… well… booty (assets that is). 

Think of ways to set yourself apart.  

What makes you different?  What do you have that other advisor in your area don’t?

These are mucho importante’ for you to discover.

Hey… if you haven’t claimed your Pro Bono Marketing Consult Call with moi (me)… there are still a few spots left.   

Again, the call is YOURS.  No sales pitch.  No agenda.
