The Importance of a Structured Prospecting Process

Having a structured prospecting process is essential for setting expectations with potential clients and providing a seamless transition into a professional relationship. This process not only addresses critical questions of prospects but also helps them feel at ease, thereby enhancing their overall experience. A well-defined approach, such as Matthew Jarvis' 'Sleep on It' process, guides prospects in their decision-making and instills confidence in choosing the advisor as their trusted partner.
