The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP 114- Unclogging the Pipeline: Part III

Do you ever have a closing appointment with a prospect and are so excited to explain your recommendations that you can’t wait to begin telling them what they are? You start with some small talk but quickly turn the conversation towards what you want them to do. And, the next thing you know, you’ve explained all of the features and benefits, so you ask for the order only to find that they need to “think about it” or “talk to their spouse.” 

Then, they leave your office, and when you follow up with a phone call, unfortunately, they either say they are still “thinking about it” or they don’t even pick up the phone, much less call you back! Can you relate to this?

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a systematic way of closing an appointment! They don’t take the time to understand each of the possible challenges that can clog the closing appointment section of the pipeline or the solutions to tackle those obstacles. As a result, they go into the closing appointment, telling (or selling) to the prospect instead of helping them want to buy.

This episode shares practical strategies that successful advisors and agents have used to unclog the pipeline with a Closing Appointment. These are not just theoretical concepts but actionable steps you can implement in your practice.
