50 clients seems to be the threshold where the entire game changes:

Either your first 50 clients are wealthy, high-quality ones who "get" you (which paves the way to unbelievable marketing effectiveness and growth)… Or your first 50 clients are random, low-quality ones who frustrate you, stifle your marketing effectiveness, and keep you trapped in mediocrity.

That's why I recorded today's episode.

I take you through step-by-step detail about getting your first 50 high-quality clients because it puts your marketing on easy mode, makes you happy to show up to work each day, and it can be the difference between cracking 9 or 10 figures in your career or barely floating about the 6 figure mark.

Listen now if you either don't have 50 clients or if the 50 clients you do have aren't high-quality ones that make growth easier.

I have personally reviewed 1000s of financial advisors' "About" pages over the years, and I am not exaggerating when I say that somewhere between 90 and 95% are just horrible.

They are actively repelling their ideal prospects.

The reason?

Most advisors think their About page is a resume in narrative form. And so, they say the same things: You went to such and such university, you have a CFP, you have 22 years of experience, and you live in Bucks County with your wife, two children, and a golden retriever named Buddy.

Let me be crystal clear:

Nothing in that paragraph of text means ANYTHING to your prospective clients. In fact, you're forcing them to ask the death blow question, "So what?"

That's why they run to your competitor's calendar instead of booking with you.

But here's the good news:

After listening to today's show, you'll know the exact recipe for what makes a good About page, what burning questions your prospects will have, and how to answer them in a way that makes them more eager to work with you, and only you, as their financial advisor.

Listen now.

Show highlights include:

• The #1 reason why people aren't setting appointments with you (and how to fix it in a hurry by tweaking one overlooked, yet critical thing) (1:06)

• The one and only thing your market is actually interested in (it's not your firm's history, it's not your CFP or the alphabet soup after your name, and it's not even your process!) (3:04)

• How this one "hidden" aspect of your website kills more financial advisor deals. then market crashes, feed compression, and robo advisors … combined! (4:35)

• 7 elements that turn your About page from a glorified resume that actively sends prospects to your competitors into something that's a certified client-generating machine (7:42)

• 2 questions every prospect who lands on your About page is silently asking themselves (8:03)

• The trick for helping your prospects feel seen when they stumble onto your About page (and why most advisors get this dead wrong) (9:28)

• How to make each of your credentials and achievements hit 10x harder to your prospect and "ethically" force them to book a time (17:06)

• How to talk about your family on your About page in a way that draws your ideal clients closer to you (18:48)

I am tired of financial advisors telling me that they cannot grow but they just don't have the budget for paid ads. In almost every case, this is an excuse. And a rotten excuse at that.

These advisors think their lack of marketing spend is the reason they can't grow. But the true problem is much deeper than that. Your lack of marketing is a symptom of the deeper problem. And I prove it in this episode.

In today's show, I take you through step-by-step detail about how I'd land 5 financial advisory clients in the next 90 days with no website traffic, no email list, no social proof, and no marketing budget.

If you follow this 7-step system to the T, I'll be shocked if you only end up with 5 clients. It's possible you end up with several more.

But the truth?

Most advisors will get no clients from this because they won't implement it.

Which advisor will you be?

Listen now.

Show highlights include:

• The "Lipstick on a Pig" secret behind why most of your marketing efforts produce no tangible results (1:28)

• How I would go about landing 5 new financial advisory clients in the next 90 days if I had no website traffic, no email subscribers, and zero dollars in marketing budget (1:57)

• Why skipping the critical "reverse engineering" step when trying to fill your pipeline is a recipe for wasted time, frustration, and a gaping hole in your client roster (5:21)

• If you follow this 7-step framework to a T, you almost have to try to land fewer than 5 clients in 90 days (6:17)

• The 3 ingredients your financial advisory business must to attract clients have when you have no money to spend on advertising (7:41)

• How to potentially find high-quality clients who already trust you with nothing more than a spreadsheet and your noggin (10:01)

• The cold, hard truth about why you're not getting any pipeline traction with LinkedIn (and why it's not all your fault) (16:46)

• 4 elements to include in the title of your marketing asset that makes it irresistible to your niche (19:29)
