Many prospects don't want to pay for a financial advisor even if their portfolio would grow faster with your help. You'll never convince these folks with pressure sales and endless phone calls. You have to opt for something more subtle. The easiest way: Analogies. When you use analogies, you teach your leads, prospects and clients something without telling them directly. That way, you'll sell them on hiring you without ever feel like you're selling something. In this episode, you'll find out about 7 analogies you can use with your clients so they understand, hire and pay you! Want to close more and better clients with analogies? Listen now!

If you're like most advisors, you have days where you feel like you could sign billionaires as clients—and others where you feel like nobody will ever work with you again. The difference: What the voice in your head is telling you. Your inner voice can decide whether you end up poor and client-less or propel yourself to wealth, success and happiness.

Some financial advisors win because they're great at selling. When someone answers the phone or sits down in their office, it's hard for the prospect not to hire the advisor.
