What Business Are You In?
Audience: Financial Services Professionals, including advisors and their teams
“This was a powerful presentation that helped me to get my head where it belongs––in the mind of my client, and toward a greater understanding of their story, and what they hope their money will buy. This will make my job easier and make me better at what I do.” - Advisor, Los Angeles
Are you in the money business and work with people, or are you in the people business and happen to work with money?
The right answer will determine your success––or failure––as a financial advisor. In fact, your future depends upon it.
This compelling keynote is designed to help advisors increase their value in the eyes of their clients by understanding how the following principles impact them (and their clients):
1.
Advisors are primarily in the people business. Successful advisors know that clients aren’t just interested in money; they’re interested in what that money can do for them.
2.
Advisors need to ramp up their knowledge about how people think and respond. Clients aren’t interested in what you’re selling or the fancy charts and graphs you produce to impress them; they’re interested in how you can help them reach their goals.
3.
Advisors need to understand how each client thinks about money, and that no two clients think about it the same way.
4.
Advisors need to connect their clients’ means to their meaning.
For your clients, it’s not about making money––it’s about reaching goals. The advisors who understand and embrace this message are the advisors who will succeed now and in the future. These are the advisors that know what business they’re in.
Moving from ROI to ROL
A Greater Return on Life
Audience: Financial services professionals
Developed by industry leader Mitch Anthony, The Return on Life™ approach and accompanying keynote addresses the two major dilemmas experienced by many top advisors: (1) work/life balance and (2) compensation.
The existing value propositions of recommending financial products and providing financial planning and asset management are all undergoing rapid commoditization. It is becoming increasingly difficult for advisors to differentiate themselves in a crowded, "me too" marketplace. The one value proposition that transcends becoming a commodity is the one that enables advisors to sell their wisdom, experience and insights. The hallmark of this new way of thinking is the unique manner in which success is measured, Return On Life™.
Audience members will walk away with a stronger understanding of this new model as well as answers to the following questions:
•
What is the next great value proposition that clients will be willing to pay for?
•
How do you change the perception you created as a product or process vendor?
•
How do you speak to what matters most to your clients?
•
How do you build a business model that is good for everyone involved: you, your client and your organization?
Using Your Intuition to Succeed (Sales)
Audience: Sales professionals
Mitch Anthony’s most popular presentation is based on his bestselling book, StorySelling for Financial Advisors. In this moving and illuminating speech, Mitch talks about the three aspects of becoming a more intuitive sales professional:
•
Understanding the power of emotion in the
decision-making process
•
Understanding your client’s story before attempting to tell your own story
•
Understanding the power of the analogy and metaphor in explaining your products and services
From the keynote:
"It’s all about making human connections–and it takes more than mathematical, selling, and organizational skills to make those connections. It takes intuitive insight and a desire to know who your clients are, so you can begin speaking a language they will understand.”
