Need a niche? How about specializing in your best clients?

To be successful you need to be different. Stand out from the crowd, have some specialty, or niche. This idea is not new. It has been discussed plenty of times. And not just in our business. In defining the difference is one of the most difficult challenges for a financial advisor. I have worked with hundreds of advisors, and still most cannot articulate what makes them unique.

Story is the Key to Client Connection

  Story is the key to a truly client-centered practice. As professional advisors, we actually begin to make the transition from transactional to relational when we become willing to meet clients on this common ground of sharing and listening to stories about what the client has been through, what events shaped and influenced their values, and what matters most.

The Power of Client Stories

  Mr. Jacobs came to see our planning firm when he was 88 years old. With an estate worth approximately $9 million, he was looking down the barrel of an estate and generation-skipping tax of about $5 million, largely because of some botched planning that had previously been done for him.    

Do Questions Matter?

“The human mind thinks best in the presence of a question.”  So says Nancy Kline, the author of Time to Think and More Time to Think.  Turning that idea over in my brain a million times caused me to recognize that questions matter, and they matter deeply in every field of human thinking. The nature and quality of the questions we ask determine the nature and quality of the thinking we spark and the answers we receive. 

A Business Case For Advisors Using Social Media

I was on the phone yesterday with Brian Edelman, a tech consultant who specializes in working with advisors in the metro New York area.

Client Service in Flatland: The View from Level One

Most client interaction in the world of financial services and estate planning is transactional. Practitioners may pay lip service to meaningful client relationships, but an honest and objective assessment of what they actually deliver belies their claims.     

A Slight Diversion - trends in tweeting by Five Advisors

A slight diversion from my normal topics around operations and technology. I frequently read the AdvisorTweets.com site, run by Pat Allen (@rocktheboatmktg on Twitter) out of Chicago.  The site aggregates a stream of advisors and related investment professionals on Twitter who also follow @advisortweets. It provides a real time as well as trending view of what advisors are thinking about and sharing in the social cloud.

Twitter Meets the Real World

I am fascinated at the new form of virtual trust being cultivated on social media - especially Twitter. As professionals increasingly use social media to broaden the reach their communications and interactions can have - they also (if they are approaching social media strategically) are organically building a network of followers and those they follow. My own experience may be reflective of what many are seeing as well. I joined Twitter in 2008 largely to explore and seek out new channels of...

How Consumers Use Social Media

An excellent research application, Social Technographics, that emerged from Forrester's research and analysis that led to the book Groundswell. The approach breaks down the audience in social media across age, gender and geography to offer a sense for how folks interact in the social space. For much of the emergence of social media, the majority aside from early adopters were observers - who followed, read and watched as the "conversation" driven by blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many...

Marketing On Linkedin

If you accept that social networks are the new cigar bars, then you also understand that Linkedin is the new locker-room. An hour or two on Facebook can be as productive for prospecting as a cocktail party, and Twitter may be a better place to find prospects than networking at a charity event.

Are You Too Sexy For Social Networking?

In the 1992 pop hit, “I’m Too Sexy,” by Right Said Fred, lead singer Fred Fairbrass insists he’s “too sexy for Milan, New York, and Japan.” It’s a silly statement. Just as silly was a statement by one of New York’s most prominent estate planning attorney, who told me he’s too sexy for social networking. I won’t name him because he’s a close friend and he’ll never come to our house for dinner again. But he only...

A better question is: Can financial advisors do anything to prevent this fear before it has a chance to start?
