Keeping It Simple

Even the most sophisticated investors have eyes that can glaze over if an investment program sounds too complicated. Added to the current reluctance for investors to get back into the markets, complex investments can be difficult to sell, even if they are socially responsible.   More than ever, investors are demanding transparency.

When A Referral Is Not The Best Way To Get New Business

It’s been said that the easiest way to grow your business is by getting referrals. Coaches consistently admonish advisors to ask for referrals. Program after program has been developed to help advisors master the process. Some encourage creating advocates out of clients, eliminating the need to ask for them. That sounds like the ideal way to get new business. After all, your ideal clients’ friends tend to be like them. Or do they?   Other referrals from ideal clients may...

Niche Building Offers Greater Business Growth, Personal Satisfaction

It’s common for coaches to encourage advisors to find clients with whom they share interests. It’s another thing to design a niche-based business.

You Need To Think About A Customer Before You Say Yes

We’ve all done it, we’ve taken a customer on who we know we shouldn’t have taken.  And, once that customer is there, we just don’t want to let them go. I think most business owners I meet have a scarcity mentality.  They haven’t learned to say no, especially to a customer who they suspect are going to cause problems. The problem with taking on a bad customer is they take up space in our company.  Most companies have a limited amount of capacity...
