What Is The #1 Thing That Millennials Don’t Want At Work?

Last week, Pew Research determined the definition of the Millennial Generation to be those born between 1981 and 1996, and those born after this time to be, for now, defined as the Post-Millennial Generation. During recent years, our clients have asked us to work with their offspring to help these generations better understand their place in the world.

A Good Employee Isn’t Good Enough – Have You Built Your Team By Design?

A warm body in the seat or even an excellent, dedicated employee is NOT all that you need. You need specific people to fill each distinct role in your organization to achieve its goals. You need a FINDER, GRINDER, and MINDER, or you must have the resources available to you to cover these three vital business responsibilities. With this winning formula, you can realize any size of business that you envision.

Why Doesn't My Support Team SUPPORT Me?!

Even if they are well paid, employees will NOT deliver high performance unless you give them more. Specifically, you need to help them see that their work is meaningful and valuable. When times get tough in this industry (and we all know what those days feel like), we have to be mindful of the impact on our team members.

So Close And Yet So Far…Are YOU Your Biggest Barrier?

After 20+ years in the industry, we have concluded that Advisors are attracted to the chaos and reactivity of this industry. They have the thrill of the unknown and will get bored easily if the road is too smooth. Often they prefer riding “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride” each day, but their business is no Disneyland. After just a few short years of churning and burning and increased levels of stress, we often find businesses that are in distress.

Your AUM Is Up…But Do The Numbers Lie?

Your numbers do NOT tell the whole story about your business. Even an advisor with high AUM can have a business that is rotting from the inside. The only way to build a healthy, profitable, and valuable enterprise is to have ALL areas thriving.

Are You Running a “Fly by the Seat of Your Pants” Business?

Some aspects of your business may be thriving, but others may be atrophying because you are only focused on the numbers. Top Producers know that the secret ingredient to their success is to not allow the chaos of daily life to hold them hostage to the reactive. They know how vital it is to step back from the daily grind of the business to work ON strategy and give oxygen to all parts of the business. As late November approaches, how much time has your team invested in analyzing 2016 results and determining a winning plan for 2017?

Your Service – Your Story – Your Value

For years, we have talked about the importance of consistently ARTICULATING and DEMONSTRATING your service model. Whether you are an advisory team serving the investor client or a home office department serving advisory teams, articulating and demonstrating your value, your story, your service menu, and your deliverables remains THE most fundamental element of your business. After all, if you can’t convey and verbalize what you do, how will you ATTRACT people to your business and grow? And, if you don’t consistently deliver your value, how will you RETAIN clients and sustain success?
