The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP 104- Beyond the Production Plateau

Are you on a production plateau? Most people are or will be at some point in their careers. In fact, your business can go only three ways: up, down, or on a production plateau. And two out of three aren’t good! The big question is, do you know how to get beyond a production plateau?   Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a step-by-step method for getting to the next level with their businesses. The reason is that they have never really viewed getting beyond a production plateau as a stepwise process that you can do over and over again. In addition, have you ever heard the saying, “What got you here, won’t get you there”? Unfortunately, that is true when it comes to kickstarting your business, and here is what I mean: To get to the next level, most likely, you need to do some things you’ve never done before. In other words, prospecting the way you did when you were a rookie is not the best strategy if you are now a veteran. This episode shares how successful advisors and agents learn a stepwise approach to getting to the next level with their business.

The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP56- The Science of Systems

Do you run your business, or does your business run you? One way to know the answer is if you are typically overwhelmed, run-down, and/or exhausted at the end of the day. If this sounds like you, it’s because you don’t have suitable systems in place. Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agencies have never been taught best practices for how to create great business systems.  The reason is that they’ve never really looked at their business as having a series of systems. The interesting thing about that is that even if you don’t have a system, that’s a system; it’s winging it! And unfortunately, winging it doesn’t work. In this episode, learn how to create business systems so that you can run your business efficiently instead of your business running you down and draining you.

The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP 68- Strategies for Measuring Success

Do you have a successful business? Do you have a way to measure your success beyond looking at your paycheck?  Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a well-thought-out process for measuring success. They have never learned a step-wise approach to measuring their progress instead of just measuring the ultimate end goal. In other words, if all you focus on is the destination, you won’t enjoy the journey! Also, you will obtain more success if you measure your milestones than if you don’t. The reason is that it’s easier to hit a milestone than constantly focusing on the end goal. Each milestone you achieve carries with it a new level of confidence that you are moving further toward your destination!   In this episode, learn what other successful advisors have done to create strategies for measuring their success, establishing milestones, and how they are setting themselves up to extract the most out of their business daily!
