112: Using “Influence” Techniques To Persuade Prospects To Become Clients with Evan Beach

Three important questions every advisor should answer:

  • Do you think you provide a valuable and life-changing service?
  • Do you think your clients are better off with you than without you, even after they pay?
  • Do you find that even though they’re better off with you, they still need a little nudge to make the decision to work with you?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then here’s the harsh truth you need to hear:

Getting prospects to become clients requires more than expertise. It requires persuasion.

And if you can learn to persuade more effectively, then your life-changing impact will be greater and more widespread.

In the popular book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, Robert Cialdini presents research on six psychological principles to persuade prospects to become buyers.

Fortunately, Evan Beach took the research from the book and created a version specifically for financial advisors.

In this episode, he’ll reveal how financial advisors can use influence techniques to persuade more prospects to become clients.

You’ll Learn:

  • The sales mindset every advisor should have
  • How and why to implement a waitlist for prospects
  • The psychological reason not to charge for financial plans
  • The “freemium” model he uses for his prospecting process
  • Why advisors are scared to embrace effective sales techniques
