Private Practice Marketing

Independent financial advisors compete for the same consumer dollars as the big firms. How successfully do you compete? Does your marketing create the self-assured, competent, professional image of you that forms the hallmark of your practice?

Plan, Prepare, Promote

Your personally unique answers to important planning issues will allow you to market your unique abilities, expertise and personal temperament—to differentiate yourself, to develop and nurture a winning brand.

The image you create should show exactly what you want people to see in their minds when they think about you. . . and to raise you in their minds when they are not thinking about you.

Objectives

Start with the end in mind or in view, if you can. Being specific will light your way with great clarity.

Offerings

Kurt Vonnegut said, “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.” First offerings impress, but the truth comes out eventually. The key factor in a good brand is truth.

Today's markets, especially Boomers, no longer believe one person can know everything. They seek advocates who state their strengths truthfully and admit their limitations—advisors who associate with other professionals.

Advisors who offer clarity about what they do, and do not, receive credibility in the modern marketplace.

Process
