“Digital marketing doesn’t work unless you are consistent.

Xena Financial Planning’s Mariana Llamas on the resources she used to become more comfortable networking and her early-career perspective on navigating various firm types, roles, and designations [Podcast]:

“Before that group, I was so terrified of networking. I would just get very terrified. I didn’t get to attend too many conferences, but even local conferences – that was always like a panic attack right before. But, with Elevate, I really learned how to network and learned to hear other people’s stories. I also learned that my story was valuable and that I also belong in the space. It was just finding that community that supported you and lifted you up.”

Stephanie Bogan shares three ways to upgrade your client experience in the face of “service inflation” [Article]:

“While advisory firms haven’t seen significant fee compression as once predicted, we are seeing very real service inflation. As competition and complexity continue to climb, firms will need to provide more services (and more specialized and personal ones) just to keep up. Firms not leveraging these insights will find themselves hiring more staff while watching their margins decline.”
