Dan Solin's Advisor Newsletters

You spend a lot of time trying to differentiate yourself. How many times have you seen this menu item on advisor’s websites: Why we’re different?

Instead of focusing on the looming threat of fee compression, give your clients service that exceeds their expectations. There’s value to having a trusted advisor.

I wonder why so many advisors believe prospects and clients are interested in being “educated” about investing and financial planning.

I’ve found it fosters a series of mistaken beliefs, that prevent you from gathering more AUM.

You can use empathy when dealing with a prospect who expresses reservations about your approach to investing. Listen to their point of view with an open-mind.

A very small change in how you interact with others can pay big dividends. This is especially true when you are trying to convert a prospect into a client.
