Have you ever had a business plan that you were excited about? You had a great strategy and even started strong, but within a few days you got sidetracked and you found yourself right back where you began.

Does that sound like you? If so, you’re not alone.

Most advisors don’t have a system that turns their business plan into consistent daily actions. They rely on motivation or discipline and over time, both fall short. However, when you create a system for taking and tracking action, you can take the guess work out of getting and seeing results.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to go from analysis to action by using tools and techniques that work for successful advisors.

Have you ever had a great production month followed by an average or even a terrible one? What I mean is, chances are that if you’ve been in the industry for some time, you may have noticed a pattern when it comes to your gross production—and it’s directly related to prospecting. I call this pattern The Peaks and Valleys of Prospecting, which means that most financial advisors and insurance agents experience severe fluctuations in their gross production when they intermittently prospect because inconsistent prospecting leads to gaps in their sales pipeline, making it harder to maintain momentum.

Does that sound like you? If so, you’re not alone.

Many financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and agency managers lack a process for getting off this type of production rollercoaster and need a pipeline flow that can lead them to consistently strong production months. Some professionals experience severe fluctuations throughout their entire careers. As a result, they constantly struggle to reach the next level of success!

In this episode, we’ll share practical strategies that successful advisors and agents use to get off the production roller coaster. These aren’t just theoretical ideas—they’re actionable steps you can implement right away to move closer to your business goals.

Breaking bad news is never easy, especially when it comes to money, the market, or not getting the coverage that your client wants. But one thing is certain: at some point in your career, you are going to have to break bad news to someone. The real question is, has anyone ever expressed to you the best way to do that?

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don’t have a specific strategy to share bad news. The topic of “how to break bad news” benefits from a stepwise approach for an advisor to make difficult situations less challenging to discuss.

Rather than merely telling people what is going wrong, having a process of how to break the bad news is essential. The delivery of bad news is important as a client might feel shocked, defensive, and, in some cases, angry- and you don’t want to add to their angst because of how they heard about it.

This episode shares practical strategies successful advisors and agents have used to create a better connection when discussing difficult subjects. These are not just theoretical concepts but actionable steps you can implement in your practice.
