After a quick rundown on their introduction to each other after Cody spoke on stage at a Tony Robbins Business Mastery mastermind, they dive right into the conversation with a highlight of why customer/client data is the key to success for business owners and marketers. Phillip even shares some shocking data that impacts business owners on the culture side….your employees are now in charge. They also explain the common misconception that business owners have when it comes to their marketing and what platforms they are using. *take note you might be doing this without even knowing.
This jump-starts a deeper conversation between Phillip and Cody on the one word that really matters in marketing right now. In addition, Cody gives a real account of how personalization and connecting to clients can create trust in the world of financial advising. The pair follows their deep dive into personal connection to explain the value proposition system that Cody utilizes in his business.
Cody then opens the conversation to discuss the SEC’s decision to allow financial advisors to utilize online reviews in their marketing. Phillip steps in to discuss how third-party validation works in the world today and how business owners (and financial advisors) can use it. *look out for the two-for-one innovation from one of Phillip’s clients here.
Finally, Cody and Phillip change gears and discuss company culture. Phillip explains the reason he decided to hire a culture director, the importance of trust-based perks, and how he has adjusted to remote management. Cody sums up his culture motto in a simple sentence: a better team makes it a better business.

About the Guest:
Cody Foster:
Cody is one of the three founders of Advisors Excel. In 2005, after partnering up with David Callanan to do personal production, the two met Derek Thompson and formed Advisors Excel. Currently, Cody plays an integral part in the development and execution of the revolutionary marketing and training systems that Advisors Excel continues to bring to the table for their advisors.
Cody graduated with a degree in mass media with an emphasis in public relations and a minor in marketing from Washburn University. However, everything he’s really learned happened after college. “Over the past decade, I’ve been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with some of the top advisors in the country. Being able to see them in action and understand what drives their business has been invaluable. Spending time around people more successful than you are will always increase your education and isn’t something you pick up in a classroom.
