Cultivating the Affluent is carefully built around six modules, each one packed with proven strategies and practical tools for executing those strategies.
Module 1: Build an Irresistible Offering
You will begin by defining the practice of your dreams that enables you to live an amazing life of significance. In particular, you will discover why wealth management is the clear and proven path to achieving what is most important—to both you and your clients’ goals—and what the process entails.
Module 2: Master Deep Client Discovery
Your ability to conduct effective discovery will be the foundation of your wealth management business practice. Done well, deep discovery will enable you to convert prospective clients at a significantly higher rate and to uncover new opportunities to serve your existing clients. It will also create the trusted, long-term client relationships that lead to additional assets to manage and introductions to qualified prospective wealthy clients.
Module 3: Nail the Wealthy Client Experience
When you have a clear process in place for identifying and addressing the full range of clients’ financial issues—while simultaneously building deep, trusted relationships—you will have a wealth management offering that few of your competitors can match. In this module, you will implement a scalable, systematic client experience that ensures extremely high client satisfaction and methodically drives qualified referrals.
Module 4: Implement a Second-Opinion Service
Rather than asking your clients for referrals, you will offer a valuable second-opinion service to the people your clients care about most. Your service will systematically and directly translate into introductions to people who are qualified for your wealth management offering.
Module 5: Build Your Professional Network
Elite advisors are experts in leveraging the talent of other professionals. Your formal professional network will be essential for providing the entire range of sophisticated solutions required to serve the wealthy, while also setting the stage for referrals from professionals within your network.
Module 6: Maximize Your Marketing
By this point, you will have built a world-class wealth management experience that will hold great appeal to wealthy prospective clients and will win their lasting loyalty once they become clients. In this final module, you will ensure that your ideal prospective clients know about your offering and are motivated to explore working with you. Your ultimate goal? To establish yourself as the go-to advisor for your chosen niche market.
