Be the Best Financial Advisor for ALL of Your Clients

Organizations have to rethink client services as the pace of change increases in our modern world and a greater range of generations continue to work side by side . Over the next decade, there will be no slowing down as a demographic tsunami hits—pushing Baby Boomers out of the workforce and into retirement, leaving Gen X and Gen Y to rebuild and lead our economy forward.

Even the best financial advisor faces 3 essential challenges that are currently shaping the industry:

  1. Aging Financial Advisors
  2. An Aging Book
  3. Increased ACAT Out Rate
    • Loss of Client Accounts
    • Loss of Assets Under Management
    • Loss of Intergenerational Family Assets
    • Moving Assets to the Competition

On average, Financial Advisors lose 98% of an account’s assets after the death of a client. Unless you make the effort to create independent relationships with the next generation of your client’s family, you too could get caught up in that dismal statistic. What’s your strategy for nurturing the next generation of clients in your practice? If you don’t have one, it’s never too late to get started.

I’m here to help you and your organization build internal strength by developing authentic and transformative leaders and teams as you plan for the future. Before you can lead generations of clients through challenging financial times, it helps to know how to build trust by communicating effectively with members of each generation.

 Your multi-generational communication training was excellent. It is exactly the type of coaching that FAs need when working with their ‘older’ book and trying to extend the relationship to the next generation.

Testimonials

I found your session to be very helpful. I am in the process of taking over for a 33 year veteran. The majority of his clients are “Traditionalists” and I’m a “Gen X”. My goal is to build rapport and trust with them, but to work with their “Baby Boomer” children.

—Morgan Becker

Your break-out session, “Engage Every Age” had the most value of all of the sessions that I attended over the 2 day conference. I have quoted you and referred to your chart often for business, as well as inter-personal relationships.
