For this episode with Kevin McCarthy from Synovus and Chris Melton from Ameriprise we discuss strategic initiatives that moved the needle in 2022 and the follow through that is planned for 2023. We will also continue our exploration of the evolution from “Investment Services” to “Wealth Management”. And make sure to listen to the end where we make our Super Bowl predictions!

For this episode we dig deeper into a subject we’ve started exploring in previous episodes, and that is Wealth Management. Specifically, what is the difference between Investment Services and Wealth Management. How does Trust and Private Banking figure into the equation? How does compensation factor in? How is teamwork optimized across departmental lines? And Rhomes Aur, CEO at First Horizon Advisors, is the perfect guest to explore this with. Rhomes shares valuable insights and the lessons he's learned over his 35 years with First Horizon Bank.

For this episode we focus on the most effective ways to gather assets”. Our primary objective as “Trusted Advisors” should be to manage and protect the majority of our client’s assets. That is exactly what being a Trusted Advisor is all about. We will explore how to do this… the discovery process, integration of wealth management into the overall organization, the importance of helping clients protect their assets, etc.

This month we will continue a topic we initiated last month where we explored the concept of being a “Trusted Advisor”. In our opinion all advisors should strive to be Trusted Advisors. But how do you know when you’ve accomplished that? How do you know when you’ve “arrived”? We explore these topics and others including:
What does it mean to be a Trusted Advisor?What do you have to do to become a trusted advisor?What does it take for clients to give you 100% of their assets to manage?How many clients can a Trusted Advisor serve?What are the benefits of being a Trusted Advisor inside a bank or credit union?
Our guests include:
