The most common mistake advisors make with prospects?
They deliver a logically-driven pitch showcasing all the ways they can help.
But, prospects make decisions with the emotional part of the brain. And, that’s why logical pitches fall on deaf ears.
Stacy Havener, Founder and CEO at Havener Capital Partners, has raised billions for boutique asset managers, and she did it with words, not numbers. Her story-driven method taps into something most pitches miss: emotion.
If you want to connect with prospects, you need to master the art of storytelling.
In this conversation, she unpacks why logic-based pitches fail, how to structure a first meeting to connect at a human level, and the neuroscience behind compelling narratives that convert.
You’ll learn:

- Structuring prospect meetings to build an emotional connection and trust from the start
- The science behind storytelling and how it triggers buying decisions at a subconscious level
