Do you know what makes you stand apart from the crowd and get selected by prospective clients?
It’s not your products. Neither is it your company. It’s YOU. It’s the value you add to the relationship. It’s the solutions you offer for your clients’ problems. It’s the enthusiasm you bring every time you meet with a prospective or current client. It’s the personal connection you establish with them throughout your collaboration.
There are a lot of Financial Advisors out there. Since people have fleeting attention spans you need to establish your uniqueness in no more than two or three sentences. What do you do? Who do you serve? How are you different? What YOU need is a world-class value proposition to capture your prospective clients’ attention and to make them want you as their Advisor.
A value proposition explains your added value. It is a statement that clearly spells out the benefits of doing business with you. It tells clients and prospects how you can meet their needs. This statement makes it obvious that you are different from your competition. It answers why someone should choose you over other Advisors.
It’s hard to create a world-class value proposition. That’s why there are so few of them. What exactly do you say to convince someone to leave their existing Advisor for you? How do you sell your value? How do you tell someone in a few words why they should consider buying what you’re selling? This training program will help you answer these questions and so much more.
Enroll in this training program now. Whether you gain access to the self-paced training program or choose to take advantage of the self-paced with individual coaching, this course will guide you through the process of developing your unique value proposition and more importantly, will help you create an action plan for making the most of it for the rest of your career – to attract clients and to become the obvious choice in your town.

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!
