 Overview

Most Financial Advisors do not have a system for getting new clients. As a result, their businesses are chaotic, unpredictable and stressful. Creating Your Ideal Practice creates a step-by-step process that details every critical aspect of business development, including the invaluable components of Specialization, Identity and Prospecting.

No two plans are the same. Creating Your Ideal Practice is built using your unique insights into your business and market, and our experience in developing over 2,000 such plans for Financial Advisors.

Your plan will contain hundreds of new techniques and ideas to build your business – and more importantly, you'll have a specific 12-month step-by-step marketing plan custom-designed to fill your pipeline with the 'A' clients you want most.

What is in Creating Your Ideal Practice?

Strategic Planning

Most Financial Advisors do not have a Growth Strategy. Creating Your Ideal Practice will give you one. It will motivate you to start thinking strategically and stop thinking tactically. It will consolidate everything into a personalized 12-month plan of action so you'll know exactly what to do, and when.

10 Benefits of your Strategic Plan section:
  1. Gain a new, laser-like focus on your very best opportunities – which will vastly increase your sales, marketing and operational effectiveness.

  2. Start up a marketing and branding engine that keeps you constantly in front of the right prospects – so that your stress level drops while your business and personal lives rise to new heights.

  3. Synchronize your business development with your personal values – for unparalleled success.

  4. Pave the way for ongoing revenue-generating systems that will improve your cash flow.

  5. Create a timeline to detail how fast can you grow – and how fast you should grow.

  6. Succeed in any economy, thanks to the consistent referrals and new business the plan helps you generate.

  7. Give your business a structure, and give yourself the opportunity to balance your work, life and values.

  8. Bring order to your day-to-day business activity, taking stress and worry out of your business life.

  9. Create a surefire system that turns leads into prospects, prospects into clients, and clients into raving fans – with mountains of referrals.

  10. Develop an ironclad marketing strategy to win more (and more profitable) clients.

Specialization Development

You can't be everyone's Financial Advisor. You'll exhaust yourself trying. So stop fighting a losing battle to become an expert on every financial topic. Stop struggling to "keep up" – and start specializing. When you specialize and attract clients with similar needs, you will improve your marketing, selling and operational efficiency. Your income will correspondingly grow as well.

Why not fill your pipeline with highly profitable, appreciative clients? Why fall victim to the life-draining ones again and again? Your marketing plan will position you to acquire the enjoyable 'A' clients you should have been working with all along.

12 Benefits of your Specialization section:
  1. With a clear specialty, you are poised to attract lucrative, pre-qualified clients and ward off unqualified, time-consuming, life-draining clients.
  2. You will effectively uncover hidden prospects who appreciate (and can afford) quality financial advice.
  3. You can position yourself as an expert within your chosen niche, fostering far more client and professional referrals.
  4. You will attract clients who buy your services without even thinking about price.
  5. You will meet clients you really like – on a personal level.
  6. You will learn how, when and why to fire clients.
  7. You will avoid getting sucked into "squeaky wheel" clients.
  8. You will learn how to find an unmet need – and fill it.
  9. Specialize, and you will gain a branding and marketing foothold that can help you "break in" to local corporations.
  10. With a specialty, you can build instant and enormous credibility through your marketing.
  11. Learn whether to specialize around a product category or target market.
  12. You can create the right business model for you.

Identity Development: Company Name & Slogan

Chances are, you've named your company incorrectly. You've chosen a name that sounds grandiose, yet will only make you anonymous. You want to be remembered, not ignored. So use proven branding psychology to tap your clients' minds and trigger top-of-mind awareness and endless referrals.

6 Benefits of your Identity section:
  1. You can create a brand that gives you an essential competitive advantage.
  2. The identity you create can be the root of your company name and slogan.
  3. Learn how to think up a company name that demonstrates substance and allows for easy "transferability" when selling your practice.
  4. See how the right company Identity can help to position your partners and junior reps.
  5. Learn how to assemble a slogan that pierces your target market's mind and draws prospects to you.

  15. Stop fretting and sweating about revenue growth – instead, put lead generation systems into place that flood your pipeline with new prospects.
  16. Stop chasing prospective clients – instead, learn ways to make them call you
  17. You will see how to create a seminar that works – an atmosphere that not only closes new business, but opens doors to new relationships.

Client Service

Once you've won the client's business, your job is to win his or her loyalty. That sounds like a reasonable task – but if you're like many Financial Advisors, you probably have very few "raving fans" Most of your clients don't appreciate you; some will leave you as competitors whisper in their ears. This section will give you specific tools to turn indifferent clients into loyal advocates for your business.
