Marketing
For most practices the
single best source of new assets and revenue is the Acres of Diamonds
that is located in your book! Most advisors don't have a clue
about how to tap into it
Here's a question...if I
was visiting your town and asked you about he best pizza joint and sub
shop where would you direct me? In live events
when I ask that question the answer is never Dominos or Subway.
It is never Papa John's or Quinzos.
In every town their is an artist who creates masterpieces--epicurian
tapdances that people marvel about for miles around. Yet
these masters struggle in anonimity often on the verge of poverty.
While the owner's of Subway and Dominoes appear on the Forbes
400 list, live in the lap of luxury, and purchase sports franchises as
an interesting "little side business". For advisors too,
marketing is the essential key that unlocks riches they have only
previously dreamed of. This is not to say that expertise in
investments is not critical--it is. It is however, only an
invitation to the dance. Marketing is the skill that will
separate you from the masses

The Endorsed Mailing
Although FINRA regulations against using testimonials in your marketing material are stiff many advisors have gotten around these rules with an Endorsed Mailing. Many will recognize this as being "thin ice" from a compliance point of view and my advice in that situation has always been "when in doubt--check it out". If your compliance is comfortable with this strategy it is a powerful tool to us with many professionals in your network. . . . keep reading

I've worked with Bob Cobb for five years. I have never met anyone with
a more positive approach to business or life. Bob has never had a bad
day in either. He has an infectious positive energy that has to be
experienced to be believed. It is motivational just standing next to
the guy.

ideas and putting pen to paper instead of the typical coaching
experience of just talking about great ideas! Working with
him has given me a powerful way to position myself with my centers of
influence and partners...the impact has been HUGE!"

"On the shelves of my office, gathering dust, there are various marketing materials that have cost me a small fortune. Over the years I have “invested” a lot of money for programs that were nothing but empty promises. Some of these marketing programs and materials cost me thousands of dollars. Always looking for the key, and not finding it, after all these years, my persistence has finally been rewarded.
Your material just arrived this morning and I have just listened to the first CD. This is without a doubt some of the most powerful material I have ever seen or heard in my 25 years in this business. Knowing how it will improve my results, I can’t wait to get started with it. I only wish I would have had this material 25 years ago, when I started in the business. I can only imagine how much more successful I would have been. As I begin to use it and naturally achieve the marvelous results I expect, I will keep you updated.
Every business needs leaders who innovate and create exciting results for others. This is how I see you. Keep up the good work!"
