Financial Advisors: Want to grow your business and bring organization and structure to your practice?

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness... Niccolo Machiavell

Our proven tools and techniques are used by advisors today to service and expand their books of business.

This is the introduction to a series of snippets based on my book, “The Financial Advisor’s Success Manual”, with some new thoughts. Each snippet addresses a section of the manual.

The manual and our coaching program includes:

• How each tool and technique relates to each advisory team and their practice.
• Interpreting the data and helping advisors apply the tools and techniques to improve and grow their business.
• Holding advisors accountable for implementing the tools, techniques, and approaches.
• The processes and structures you need to save time and grow your business.
• How to acquire new clients, service them well, and allow nothing to fall through the cracks.
• A pragmatic combination of coaching and consulting.

What you can expect in our coaching sessions:

• Each meeting is specific to each FA team and their book of business.
• Advisors must take on the role of implementation and accountability - either by themselves or with a partner (whether a coach, manager, or another advisor).
• Both prescriptive advice and a facilitative approach where the coach asks questions and the “coachee” develops her or his own answers.

How does consulting improve your performance?

• Analyze existing problems and issues.
•  Work with a partner to develop solutions and growth for the business.
• Get objective advice and access to specialized expertise including industry “best practices.”

We combine coaching and consulting to get the solutions you need.

Consulting is an “understand (the situation), tell, and do” methodology.

Coaching is more of an “ask, guide, and monitor” methodology.

In “coachulting” combination, the coach will:

• Assist in and monitor your execution
• Provide accountability
• Be a “brainstorming” and solutions development partner.

The tools and techniques discussed in this manual tend toward consulting because they provide advice. The coaching part of an engagement helps financial advisors define those areas that can best serve the advisor. The coach then works with you on how best to approach implementation. Engagements are uniquely designed for each FA team based on the advisor’s current situation, their wants and needs, and where they want to be at some future point in time, your “desired future state.”
