Do you remember the first day that you began working in the financial services industry? You were probably excited and maybe a little bit scared just ready to find your first client. Do you still have that same level of excitement? Most likely, not. Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers and even agency managers typically don’t have a process for putting passion back into their practice. For so many, over the years you get so busy working “IN” the business that you forgot to work “ON” your business. As a result, somewhere along the way you can lose passion for the business. In this episode, learn a process for putting passion back into your practice.

Which is easier to do as an advisor/agent, ask a question or make a statement? If you said make a statement, you are right! Making a statement is easier because you are expressing what you believe to be the solution(s). And, therein lies the problem. When you are making statements, you may be coming off as trying to “sell” to people. Most people don’t want to be sold to, rather they want to choose to buy! The way to get people to understand why they should buy is by asking them the right types of questions, so they come to their own conclusions. Most advisors and agents don’t have a process of how to ask the right types of questions. They are too busy telling people what they know. However, what if you knew how to ask the right types of questions to uncover their situations, problems, the implication of not fixing the problems and the value of your solutions. Would you take your business to the next level? The answer is "yes". In this episode, you will learn several ways ask better questions that will create better connections.

In this episode, learn several ways to handle objections that will have a lasting impact on your business!

Do you know exactly how much new business you have in your pipeline? Or, do you “kind of” have an idea of what you might close this month? Most advisors and agents don’t have an organized sales pipeline that can tell them how many people are in the pipeline, at what stage each person is at in the pipeline and if there are any clogs in their pipeline. In other words, they don’t have, what I call, a New Business Strategy List. In this episode, learn about a tool that can transform your business by helping you organize, strategize and manage your sales pipeline!

Do you ever wonder what is limiting you most in your business? You might think that it could be the market, the economy or anything else that’s out of your control. From my experience as a professional coach, the number #1 thing that is limiting you, is probably you!

In this episode, learn how to break through your limiting belief systems and incorporate a stepwise approach that works!
