When you’re a brand-new financial advisor trying to learn marketing to keep your business afloat when you don’t have any clients, there’s a lot of mistakes you can make that increase your likelihood of giving up. For example, listening to general marketing “experts” on YouTube who have never worked in the financial industry sets you up to work hard and generate no returns. In fact, after having thousands of discussions with new financial advisors, I’ve found that there are 7 specific mistakes new advisors make that sabotage their marketing results. In this episode, I reveal each of these 7 mistakes—and give you a solution for each and every one of them. If you’re a new advisor, you can’t afford to skip this episode. But even if you’re a seasoned advisor, there’s still a chance you’re making one of these 7 mistakes. Listen now. Show highlights include:
