How Financial Advisors Can Improve Their Sales Skills (With Nancy Bleeke Noel)

Let me be blunt: Most financial advisors aren’t world-class salespeople. Many of them actively fear selling. And this leaves their prospects confused, disgruntled, and unlikely to choose you over another advisor. 

The solution? 

Well, first you have to reframe how you approach sales. Selling isn’t a negative, dirty word. It’s an opportunity to help someone with one of their most prized possessions: Their finances. 

Next, you have to tune into this conversation with Nancy Bleeke Noel, author of “Conversations That Sell: Collaborate with Buyers and Make Every Conversation Count.” 

In this episode, Nancy reveals how financial advisors can get better at sales, the common mistakes financial advisors make, the most common reason people don’t hire financial advisors, and so much more. 

Nancy’s worked with 10s of thousands of financial advisors over the years and turned them from sales zeros into sales heroes. And now she wants to help you.
