Weekend Content for New Financial Planners (January 22-23, 2022)

“Weekend Content for New Financial Planners” is a collection of articles, podcasts, videos, etc. that I’ve been consuming regarding breaking into financial planning, industry trends, career development, and more.

Why recording meetings to watch your own “game tape” is so important, how to boost buy-in from prospective and current clients, and more [Podcast]:

If you were ever skeptical of the “ABC” mantra in sales, aka “Always Be Closing,” you’ll probably like “ABQ” better. Carson Coaching’s J.J. Peller on “Always Be Questioning” [Article]:

“If your mindset is ‘always be closing,’ then you’ll try to ‘close’ at the first buy signal. But what if there’s a bigger hook point that your prospective client hasn’t shared yet?

It’s kind of like going fishing and yanking the pole in an attempt to hook the fish at the first sign they’re nibbling the bait. If you pull the pole too soon, you might just scare the fish away! It works the same in sales. If you try to ‘hook’ a person who is just barely nibbling, you might make too much commotion and scare them off before you have a chance to truly attract them to want to talk further with you about how you can help them.”
