Creating the Perfect Campaign

By Daniel C. Finley on 8/30/23 9:24 AM

Are you on a production plateau and you need a little nudge to get going? Most advisors are because they’ve never learned how to create the perfect campaign to grow their business; as a result, they leave their success up to chance.

Benjamin Franklin said it best when he said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

I believe that is true. The best way to plan is to design a campaign, an organized course of action to achieve your goal, and take the right steps to do so.

What It Takes to Love Prospecting

By Daniel C. Finley on 7/12/23 11:19 AM

Do you love to prospect? Do you get into the office and can’t wait to make that first call? 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?

Most advisors and agents don’t have a well-thought-out process for prospecting. The reason is they’ve never learned a step-wise approach to understanding what it takes to love prospecting. And how to do it successfully so that they create unlimited success!

Creating Urgency and Maintaining the Momentum

By Daniel C. Finley on 6/8/23 10:30 AM

Do you ever feel like your pipeline is stuck? You know why prospects need to take the next step, but for some reason, they don’t seem to have any urgency to want to meet, send you their statements, or even make a decision on the recommendations that you’ve worked so hard on to help them reach their financial goals.

Kevin Brady, a former U.S. Representative said, “Urgency creates action.”
Therein lies the problem; most advisors/agents don’t have a well-thought-out process for creating urgency in their sales pipelines and for maintaining the momentum!

Let’s take a look at just a few examples of creating urgency, in each stage of the pipeline and how one advisor did just that.

Building Your Business in a Bear Market

By Daniel C. Finley on 12/15/22 10:00 AM

If you are in the financial services industry your business is tethered to the market. When the market is up so is your business but when the market is down, so is your business. It’s inevitable especially if you have a fee-based business. When the market and your assets under management drop it also means your gross commissions drop.

When this happens, do your business-building activities necessarily need to follow suit? The answer is “no”. However, many advisors stop prospecting because they don’t have a good strategy for continuing to do that task during a Bear Market.

If you are viewing a Bear Market as an obstacle rather than an opportunity you certainly won’t reach the next level.

The Top 5 Myths of Prospecting Procrastination

By Daniel C. Finley on 11/16/22 12:28 PM

Let’s face it, it’s easy to procrastinate from time to time. The problem is when procrastination goes from an occasional occurrence to a daily avoidance that the real challenges set in. With a task such as prospecting for example, if your business is on a production plateau chances are you bought into a narrative that you will come off of the plateau without intervention, and that your pipeline will trend upwards again soon.

Does this sound familiar? Let’s look at this subject from a different perspective. Everything that you may have been telling yourself about procrastination may simply be a myth.
