How do you define your own success? Most advisors define it by the number of new accounts, assets gathered or gross commissions earned. While these can all be a type of measurement of success it’s not a true measurement. Is the former statement your measuring stick for success? If so, then know this… you, are not alone!
Many financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers and even agency managers don’t have a process for obtaining and measuring success because they view success as an end result measured by income received.
Is your income the true measurement of your worth? No. it’s not. Just ask your clients. To them the true measurement is the value that you bring to them to achieve their long-term financial goals. The income you receive is merely compensation for your integrity, knowledge and expertise.
In this episode, learn about the value that other advisors and agents have brought to turn their businesses into a success!

It goes without saying if you are in the financial services industry that your business is tethered to the market. When the market is up so is your business but when the market is down, so is your business. It's inevitable. If this sounds like you, then know this… you, are not alone!
Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers and even agency managers, want to grow their business in a Bear Market but don’t because they don’t have a good strategy for doing so. If you are viewing the Bear Market as an obstacle instead of an opportunity you certainly won't reach the next level.

The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP 27- Mastering The Referral Process
Tuesday Nov 22, 2022
Tuesday Nov 22, 2022
Do you ask for referrals and get just get a “deer in headlights look” from your clients? Then hear, “I can’t think of anyone but if I do I will let you know.” If this sounds familiar know that you are not alone!
Most advisors and agents want to receive referrals but don’t because they are asking for referrals the wrong way and they don’t even know it because they haven’t learned why clients will give referrals. It’s all about having a client-centered approach and using a dialogue which I refer to as the “Client-Centered Referral Dialogue” to make a robust connection.
In this episode, learn about a strategic process for creating an effective referral system!

Tuesday Oct 25, 2022
Do a majority of your first appointments just flow? Do they seem like a repeatable process where you sit down with a prospect, who is a stranger and it feels like you’ve known them forever? Or, is it hit-or-miss in that some people you connect with while others you do not?
If so, know this… you, are not alone!
Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers and even agency managers, are hoping to make a connection because they don’t have a formalized process for mastering their first appointments. The reason that they don’t know it is because they have been “winging” the first appointment process. As I said in the previous podcast, “winging it", doesn’t work!
In this episode, learn a process for mastering the first appointment.
