Advisor's Modern Marketing Challenge
1. Starting Promptly
at Noon EST
PLEASE
• have an open
mind
• be ready to
participate
Hosted By:
• Todd Strobel
• Kim Butler
2. Modern Marketing Challenge
• Current marketing programs being sold
and taught are simply NOT working.
– Some NEVER worked
– Some NO LONGER Work
• Marketing is only effective if it
connects you to the desired number of
qualified and ready to purchase
consumers. You must be the best
possible solution to their problem
and serving them is the fulfillment
of your soul purpose.
3. Examples
• Tripling visitors to your website
considered successful campaign?
• Loading your calendar with
appointments that close at
anything less than 33%-50%.
Require you to discuss a wide
range of strategies that are
outside your soul purpose
• Load your website with free
reports and videos that do not
feature you
4. Why Now Todd?
• Globalization- India, China and ??
are getting into the US Financial
Sales market. They are offering a lot
of money for US Sales and Marketing
people to train their workforces to
use these techniques.
• Their workforce costs 60-90% LESS
than you!
• Their marketing budget is 10,000 -
100,000 x larger than yours!
• Do you REALLY want to play this
game??
5. Why These Companies Can’t
Compete With You!
Current Marketing Prosperity Economics
• Value is in the • Value is in the
transaction relationship
• Power in the product • Power is in the
• Sales process creates producer
doubt • Sales process creates
• Celebrates conformity certainty
• Advisors serve the • Celebrates diversity
company • Advisors serve the
client
6. “Marketing may be defined as a set of
human activities directed at facilitating
and consummating exchanges”
• Does marketing locate and serve
the needs of the customer? Or
• Does marketing seek to create
the need in the mind of the
consumer?
7. Overall Marketing Message
• The consumer is perfect, whole
and complete and we are here to
serve their needs?
• The consumer is imperfect, not
enough, and incomplete and we
are here to save them?
• Validation Through Consumption
8. Examples:
• Diet Industry
• Cosmetic Surgery
• Automobile Industry
• Jewelry
• Real Estate
• Fashion/Clothing
• Electronics-Computers/Cell
Phones
9. Message to Advisors
• You are awesome, qualified and
knowledgeable and we are here to
assist when needed. or
• You lack knowledge, are
incomplete and the only chance
you have of succeeding is by
buying, becoming, joining…
10. Examples
• Associations
• Accreditations
• Affiliations
• Product Training
• Sales Training
• Marketing Training
• Done for You that features who?
11. Success today is much more about
who you are than what you do.
The lack of confidence and focus
on trying to gain approval and
acceptance makes it difficult to
create client relationships,
especially with confident and
wealthy investors.
12. Popular Advisor Marketing
• Canned Websites
– Great for compliance
– Lot’s of reports, information
– Generic, no personality
– Built to appeal to advisor not
consumer
• If you get client to your site
you have 30-60 seconds maximum to
keep them. Overloaded on info
already so not likely to convert.
No emotional appeal. Do you care?
13. Popular Advisor Marketing
• Prerecorded Videos
– Video is popular
– Information based
– Who is on the video
• Information overload and does not
answer “do you care?”, “why?”,
“how do you know I need this?”.
Those who respond are attracted
to person on video, and it’s NOT
you.
14. Popular Advisor Marketing
• SEO
– Direct attempt to cheat Google
system and trick your way to
getting to Google clients
– Saturated-Hundreds of advisors
buying products/services to be
page 1 Google?
– Results temporary and risk Google
Slap
15. Popular Advisor Marketing
• Following Systems or Campaigns
– How long ago did they work?
– Worked for them, you are a copy?
– Many Based on Psychological
Reciprocity
• Do people feel gratitude and indebted
to advisors who feed them and/or
educated them?
• Do they now feel entitled?
