Most of my marketing experiments have failed. But, some have succeeded. From spending tens of thousands of dollars on print ads to hiring a Harvard data nerd to run Facebook campaigns, it’s quite possible I’ve experimented more in the last five years than the average advisor has in their entire career. And this is just the beginning.

Join me as I explore the world of marketing in the financial planning industry. Follow along as I experiment with different ideas, share my successes and failures, and interview outside-the-box experts.

    Today on the show, I'm sharing 5 (critical) improvements we made this year to our client meeting process.
    After years of trying to implement a good, systemized review meeting process...
    ...our team walked away from this last meeting cycle feeling like we FINALLY found our groove and created a positive experience for both us AND our clients.
    And since creating a positive (and valuable) meeting experience for our clients helps to improve client retention and referrals, I think it’s still safe to say that we’re still talking some marketing today. 😊
