Stop Hunting. Start Harvesting: Your Biggest Growth Opportunity is Already In Your Book of Business – Episode 68

Most financial advisory firms pour an immense amount of resources into hunting for new clients—refreshing their branding and implementing new marketing strategies to capture new households. That’s not a bad approach to business development—but it’s also probably not the optimal one. Instead, your biggest growth opportunity is very likely to be found among the top existing clients you’re already serving. The reason: The average financial advisor today manages only about 44% of their clients’ investable assets. That means more than half of the wealth belonging to people you already work with—and who presumably like you, trust you and pay you fees—is being managed by someone other than you or sitting in accounts you don’t know about. Our advice: Ease up on hunting for new clients and put more effort into harvesting the opportunities that are right in front of you through your existing relationships.

Rediscovery: A Process to Maximize Your Existing Client Relationships – Episode 66

The biggest growth opportunity in your practice may not be “out there” somewhere among new potential clients. It could already exist in your current book of business—the top clients you already serve. We all know wallet share is a key driver of growth. But how to capture more of it? The key is rediscovery—a process that essentially helps you get to know your clients all over again so you can identify opportunities to deliver new types of value to them, capture additional assets and generate significant revenue growth. Existing client rediscovery can empower you to boost your revenue in five key ways. Watch, read or listen to find out more on our website for top financial advisors at CEGWorldwide.com.

Get Your People on the Path – Episode 62

Most financial advisory teams want growth, but many of their best people are quietly wondering, "What is my future here?" They show up, work hard and care about clients. But their path forward within the firm is vague, with no clear next role. When that happens, you get disengagement, quiet job searches and rising stars who walk out the door just when you need them most—career pathing is how you flip that script.

5 Ways to Win the Battle for Clients’ Assets and Loyalty – Episode 59

The battle for new assets and ongoing loyalty isn’t going to be won based on the investment results you deliver. Instead, the advisors who win will be those who become indispensable in their clients’ bigger-picture lives—and the lives of their clients’ heirs. That’s what we’ve concluded based on CEG Insight’s latest study of nearly 1,300 investors with a net worth of between $100,00 and $25 million. Going forward, there are five key imperatives that advisors should focus on: Become indispensable in life's defining moments. Advise for the 100-year life. Offer alternative investments and digital assets. Build relationships with the next generation. Navigate volatility and emotions.
