Increase Your Branch or Team AUM with Don Connelly’s Training Programs

No recruiting advisors with impressive AUM required. Instead, achieve greater productivity and increased AUM from your current advisors and teams by helping them hone the right soft skills.


Do all of your advisors know how to effectively influence client behavior? Do they clearly articulate the value they bring to the client relationship? Do they use stories, analogies and power phrases to be memorable and to explain difficult concepts in a manner that clients understand?

If no, then one of our three programs is definitely for you. Read on or click the button below to send an inquiry right away.

The key to increasing your branch or team AUM is to help your Advisors hone the right soft skills and focus on the right aspects of their professional development that will help them to attract and retain more assets.

Many Advisors think that their success depends on product knowledge and technical skills. But it’s the mastery of soft skills that separate average advisors from great advisors.

The smartest advisors in the world, those with outstanding technical and product knowledge, won’t be successful if they can’t execute, if they can’t get an appointment, if they can’t open new accounts and keep clients.

Advisors are like Athletes: They can become elite ONLY if they become truly brilliant at executing the basics.

There’s a YouTube video of Steph Curry from the Oakland Warriors practicing three-point jumpers. It miraculously shows him making 100 straight 3-point jump shots before he quits! Think about how impressive that is! He’s not good at 3-point jump shots because he shoots them in a game. He’s brilliant at 3-point jump shots because he practices them over and over and over again until he can’t get it wrong.

Executing the basics with perfection is exactly what Advisors need to do in order to truly excel in this industry. They can’t afford to practice in front of clients and prospects. They need to have their rap down BEFORE they meet with them. And that’s what Don Connelly will help them to do.

Help your Advisors develop the soft skills that are barely, if ever taught in training.

Those are the skills that truly help advisors communicate to prospective and current clients in a manner that educates, inspires and influences client behavior. And it’s never too late to hone those skills.

In an industry that is constantly trying to reinvent itself its nice to hear someone, indeed a legend like yourself, preaching the virtues of being nice to people, earning their respect and trust, and learning as a student of the game anything and everything to help mom and dad at the kitchen table. I hope we are not the last two screaming this from the mountain top!

Hope to see you again on the road. We are lucky to have you representing all of us in financial services.
