Don’t Listen to the Short-term Noise:
Guiding Clients Through Volatile Markets

Hire Don Connelly for an Onsite or Virtual Live Presentation that will teach Advisors the compelling story they need to keep clients focused on their goals no matter the market conditions.

An ideal presentation for BD’s/RIA’s, this timely presentation will assist Advisors in keeping clients focused on the destination, not the journey. Advisors will get the stories and analogies they need to explain to clients that, with the proper long-term perspective, volatility actually works in clients’ favor.
During this presentation, Don will address three key questions that should be on every Advisor’s mind:
1. What do I do in an era of extreme volatility to keep clients focused?
2. What do I say to clients and prospects to convince them to ignore short-term volatility and stay focused despite the short-term noise?
3. How do I say it so people take action amidst all the confusion?

This may well be another year of extreme volatility.

The bullishness we experienced for so long gave way to hesitancy in 2022 and 2023, and will no doubt continue during 2024. Clients are nervous. They are getting bombarded with information from too many sources so they need someone they trust to sort it all out.

You have to be in front of this discussion. When people have a health scare, they do not turn to WebMD. They want a face-to-face meeting with a doctor. The sicker they are, the more the insistence. When people have a financial scare, they do not want to turn to chatbots and the internet for generic advice. They want a face-to-face meeting with a financial professional. The greater the scare, the greater the insistence. And few things scare investors more than extreme volatility.

During this onsite or virtual LIVE presentation Don Connelly will assist you in building the compelling story you need to keep clients focused on their goals as you lead them through what may very well be continued turbulence.

Don will give you a compelling investing story that clients will understand and remember. He will teach you how to highlight your personal story. And he will convince you that in order to justify your fees, you must show people that you are irreplaceable.

During the presentation you will hear:

The challenges in 2024 are clear. Nervous clients need reassurance that the course of action you are recommending is the right one. And they need to know that you are the right Advisor to lead them on the journey. You gain credibility when you tell a great story that people actually understand, a story that helps them connect the dots. Stories turn facts into fun.

Here’s what you will take away from this presentation.

#1. You will become a better communicator.

Stories are easier to understand than facts. They help you package your ideas so that they are easy to understand. Stories and analogies help simplify complex ideas. Explaining something as sophisticated as volatility is a bandwidth issue. The less the amount of information there is to absorb, the more clients will remember what you say.

#2. You will be able to better connect with your clients emotionally.

Clients typically don’t react based on how they think. They react based on how they feel. They are emotional in volatile markets. Emotional people don’t respond to facts and figures. Rational arguments do not motivate them. You’ve got to repackage all the data you have about volatility into a language that will persuade and motivate. You have to tell your clients the right story to help them understand that they will be okay with you as their leader.

#3. You will be able to motivate investors to take action amidst all the confusion.

People do not buy what they don’t understand. Stories and analogies make the unfamiliar familiar. Clients remember stories because our brain works in story fashion. We think in narrative form. We don’t think one word at a time and we don’t think in bullet points. Numbers persuade clients to follow your advice. Stories motivate them to follow your advice. Big difference.

Your clients need to hear this story from you, not the competition.

Attend this presentation and you will obtain the knowledge and the tools to gain clients and gather assets during periods of extreme volatility, especially if your competition does not have a compelling story. To quote Dr. Howard Gardner, “Stories constitute the single most powerful weapon in a leader’s arsenal.”

And, if you’d like to discuss having Don present to your Clients, he has a crucial and timely message for them as well.
