TRUST is the single most important element for any good business relationship, especially when it comes to the relationship between a client and a Financial Professional. Intuitively we all know this to be true, and the research on this subject has consistently confirmed the importance of trust.
This became glaringly apparent to me when I was a new financial advisor in the mid-1980s being taught and applying sales techniques to “get” clients. The mantra was, “Find the need, make it hurt, and close, close, close!!!” Shockingly enough, many of these archaic techniques for selling to fear and greed still pervade the financial services industry today. Is it any wonder so many people are skeptical about financial advisors?
How ironic that we would be taught to use sales and marketing tactics that pretty much guarantee we will NOT be trusted! Obviously, the fastest way to cause someone to distrust you is to show up behaving like a salesperson.
Fortunately, I was inspired to break away from the industry norm and developed a philosophy and methodology to help clients make smart choices about their money and their life so they achieve their goals in a way that fulfills their values, regardless of the current economic cycle. It’s called Values-Based Financial Planning™. The by-product is a high-trust client relationship. It’s a long-term relationship of mutual respect and honor predicated on a genuine desire to help and a process that creates a predictable result.
Clients are happier and more loyal. The Financial Professional enjoys a more prosperous business that is much more emotionally gratifying.
Since 1988 we have been teaching and coaching financial professionals to build communities of Ideal Clients through the successful implementation of Values-Based Financial Planning™ and we’re pleased to have the opportunity to help you do the same. Contact us to arrange a complimentary Success Road Map® consultation with one of our Accountability Coaches to determine if Values-Based Financial Planning™ is a good fit for you.
On behalf of our entire BAI leadership team, our coaches, and our staff we welcome you to the beginning of your Values-Based Financial Planning™ Journey toward an even better quality of life of Balance, Achievement, and Integrity.
Yours on the journey,
Bill Bachrach, CSP
Chairman & CEO
