Four Keys to Success When Serving Entrepreneurs – Episode 77

The latest CEG Insights research reveals that entrepreneurs have changed in some important ways that are having a major impact on their relationships with financial advisors—what they expect from them, the building blocks that create loyalty, and how they want to be served.

From Operator to Architect: How to Stop Producing and Start Leading – Episode 75

Financial advisors are often brilliant at helping their business owner clients build real enterprise value and create companies that can run well without them being involved in all the day-to-day activities. It’s strange, then, that so many financial advisors don’t take their own advice when it comes to their advisory practices.

Give Your Clients a Financial Flight Plan – Episode 74

The review meeting is something that every financial advisor does. But CEG Insights’ latest research suggests it may be one of the most under-leveraged growth tools in wealth management. The reason: Your clients want a different experience than the one you’re giving them. Provide your clients with the type of comprehensive reviews they seek, and they’ll reward you—with more assets, more loyalty and more referrals.

Give Feedback That Inspires, Not Alienates – Episode 73

Just about every financial advisor will tell you they have an organization that values feedback. But in practice, providing feedback often goes poorly for the giver as well as the receiver. That’s because feedback is often delivered more as criticism and frustration than as coaching and an opportunity to improve—which, in turn, results in defensiveness and hurt feelings rather than the creation of a better path forward. The good news: You can make feedback become a regular, expected and positive component of your business’s culture—turning feedback from a source of drama into a driver of growth.

Is Your Technology Truly Client-First? – Episode 72

While technology is both ubiquitous and vital to running your financial advisory practice, your clients’ views on that technology—what they want and don’t want from it—could be very surprising to you. That’s the conclusion of CEG Insights’ latest research into high-net-worth investors’ opinions about fin tech and related issues. The study of more than 1200 affluent investors found that financial advisors may be using and positioning their technology in ways that could actually hurt their growth instead of helping it.

Give Entrepreneur Clients What They Really Want – Episode 71

It’s well known that successful, driven entrepreneurs can be the best clients for financial advisors today. High-net-worth business owners have both substantial assets and complex needs that require high-quality expertise. Trouble is, far too many financial advisors who work with entrepreneurs aren’t serving them well. The evidence: A full 59% of entrepreneurs recently told CEG Insights that they plan to switch their primary advisor (or bring in an additional advisor) within the next 24 months.

Building a Professional Network That Clients Can’t Live Without – Episode 70

When a high-net-worth client comes to you with a major life event—a business sale, a significant estate question, or maybe a liability exposure they hadn't thought about—what happens next? Do you recognize the full opportunity in that moment? Do you know the right questions to ask? When it's time to act, can you help them move forward by working with their existing professionals or introducing them to someone you trust? Elite financial advisors do all these things. And the way that they develop these capabilities is by having a professional network of other elite experts they work with to identify solutions to clients’ biggest issues.

Why Would Anybody Choose to Work With You? – Episode 69

We see it all the time—financial advisors who are incredibly skilled and dedicated to their clients, but who come across like virtually every other advisor in the business. These financial advisors may be exceptional at their job, but practically nobody who might hire them or give them referrals can tell them apart from the rest of the pack. Sound familiar? There are two key steps to differentiating yourself and your practice. Watch, read or listen to find out more on our website for top financial advisors at CEGWorldwide.com.

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.
