Are you a financial advisor struggling to get your voice heard amid the cacophony of marketing messages? Do you feel that the competition is so overwhelming that your potential clients can't hear you? The problem might not be the noise, but the fact that your messages are just adding to it instead of providing value.
The Struggle of Getting Noticed
One common problem that most financial advisors face is breaking through the noise to connect with their ideal clients. They often feel unsure about where they're going wrong.
Many advisors mistakenly believe that they can attract the attention of their ideal clients by posting numerous videos on social media platforms throughout the day. They feel that by sharing large volumes of information, they'll stand out. Thus, they persistently send direct messages, emails, and keep posting content, with the hope that their efforts will yield results.
Some advisors even resort to creating random videos or resharing posts from other financial advisors. They feel stressed, produce lackluster content, and wonder why they can't acquire new clients. If you've found yourself in this situation, you know it's a significant issue.
Facing the Reality: What if You Can’t Fix the Problem?
So, how can you effectively reach your ideal clients? And what other options do you have? Should you rent a billboard on a busy highway and hope that someone Googles you? Should you continue attending your BNI or Rotary meetings, where other 'financial advisors,' who might only be insurance salespersons with fewer regulations, outshine you?
Are you considering pleading with your local CPA or Estate Attorney for referrals, even though you know they rarely reciprocate? Or, is there a better solution?
Moving from Guesswork to Knowledge
The harsh reality is that you're failing to cut through the noise because you're guessing what your potential clients want rather than knowing. The primary reason you don’t have a steady influx of qualified prospects is your lack of understanding of their needs. Instead of focusing on what your potential clients want, you center your efforts on what you think they need.
Even when clients express their desire to be "educated," they aren't seeking academic knowledge. They want reassurance that you are the right person to help them solve their problems. To earn their trust, you need to communicate their problems in their exact words, empathize with their concerns, and assure them that your services can alleviate their pain.
Once you understand their queries, you can tailor your marketing strategy to answer those questions consistently – and automatically.
Shifting Your Content Strategy
Imagine not having to create new content every day, week, or month because you know the questions your ideal clients are asking. You've developed valuable, no-fluff answers that position you as a trusted authority. And you won't need to reinvent the wheel, because their problems aren't unique, and they won't be the last people searching for answers.
The truth is, it can be straightforward to create content that speaks directly to your ideal client and their needs. It's easy to excite them to chat with you because you're finally speaking their language. When clients think, "finally, this financial advisor gets me," "finally, I've found someone who can solve my problems," they're talking about you.
In fact, that 'someone' should be you.
