The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP 98- The Art of Managing Emotional Client Behavior

Do your clients always seem to be on an emotional roller coaster ride? When the market is up, they are happy and sometimes greedy, but when the market is down, they are concerned, fearful, and maybe anxious. As financial advisors, understanding and managing these emotions are critical for maintaining long-term client relationships.  Most financial advisors ride the ups and downs of the emotional roller coaster along with their clients. The reason is that they have never realized that there is an art to managing clients when their emotions are tethered to the market. You see, money can be a very emotional subject for a lot of people. And, when the market is volatile, emotions such as fear, panic, greed, euphoria, anxiety, uncertainty, and loss aversion can become everyday occurrences that financial advisors face. It’s not just financial advisors and their clients that have to face this type of emotional turbulence. In fact, when insurance agents are faced with increasing premiums, their clients get very emotional as well. And, when wholesalers call on advisors and agents, they feel the effects of what the advisors and agents are going through.  This episode teaches how successful advisors and agents can manage emotional client behaviors!

In this episode, you’ll learn how to diagnose the real reason behind your procrastination and how to begin taking consistent action to keep it from occurring.

The Advisor Solutions Podcast EP 138- Mastering the Peaks & Valleys of Prospecting

Have you ever had a great production month followed by an average or even a terrible one? What I mean is, chances are that if you’ve been in the industry for some time, you may have noticed a pattern when it comes to your gross production—and it’s directly related to prospecting. I call this pattern The Peaks and Valleys of Prospecting, which means that most financial advisors and insurance agents experience severe fluctuations in their gross production when they intermittently prospect because inconsistent prospecting leads to gaps in their sales pipeline, making it harder to maintain momentum. Does that sound like you? If so, you’re not alone. Many financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and agency managers lack a process for getting off this type of production rollercoaster and need a pipeline flow that can lead them to consistently strong production months. Some professionals experience severe fluctuations throughout their entire careers. As a result, they constantly struggle to reach the next level of success! In this episode, we’ll share practical strategies that successful advisors and agents use to get off the production roller coaster. These aren’t just theoretical ideas—they’re actionable steps you can implement right away to move closer to your business goals.
