    The RARE Advisor: It’s a whole new world for Advisors

    The RARE Advisor: It’s a whole new world for Advisors

    We're about to have a "Family Moment"…
    This is when we have a tough-love conversation about the fact that things will never be the same again -- And that it's not a "bad thing" if you embrace and capitalize on the change. In fact, we are seeing a major “COVID bounce” that spans across multiple business sectors!
    Today, your business should be hitting new high-water marks. Retooling for a New World. USAF is a Mirror-Reflection of Financial Advisors. I know this because we are simply an aggregate mirror-image of the advisors who are affiliated with us, and WE are hitting new high-water marks -- Therefore, THEY are hitting new high water marks. The revenue structure of your business is essential. Fee & transactional (commission) revenue go hand-in-hand. Certain products, necessary for planning, dictate the fee vs. transactional choice. NOTHING ELSE DOES -- Not your licensure, not your personal preference.   Your best clients expect both. People want to KEEP the newfound convenience and benefit of dual communications. In-Person Office visits. Video visits Articles referenced:

    The RARE Advisor: Who are my best customers for introductions? 🗣 – Advisor Secrets that Matter Most NOW

    Introductions are light years better than referrals; however, most advisors don't know how to duplicate the clients that are likely to make those introductions! It’s crucial that you must first uncover and quantify them.
    Total Customer Value (TCV) = 1 Yr Revenue |  3 Yr Revenue  |  5 Yr Revenue Total Maven Value (TMV) = TCV + TCV of those they've introduced. Identify Your BEST Customers & BEST Identify the Demographics & Psychographics of Mavens. Target them for duplication via introductions.
