The Efficient Advisor: Tactical Business Advice for Financial Planners
Libby Greiwe
Ever wish you knew an Advisor who built a 7-figure practice--while only working 3 days a week--that was willing to share her systems, processes, and business hacks with you? Meet the Efficient Advisor Podcast host Libby Greiwe. Her specialty? Breaking down the functions of a financial planning practice into actionable step-by-step processes designed to get you results and get you out of overwhelm. Expert interviews, done-for-you templates, and easy to implement solutions… all tied together by her MISSION to create ease in your business. She promises to deliver actionable step-by-step solutions you can implement right away to save time, money, and frustration. The goal--to lead you from overwhelm to efficiency. She started her own financial planning business in 2004. And, over the years she scaled into a 7-figure single-advisor firm while working only 25-hours a week so she could be super involved while raising her kiddos and loving on her hubby. She knows what it takes to build a 100% referral-only practice and to not have to GRIND out the hours to be successful. She ran her own planning business for 16 years culminating in a sale to an enterprise firm in 2019. Now, she’s simply just obsessed with helping other amazing advisors do the same thing. So if you’re an advisor who’s got the hang of planning and is now looking to grow to that first 500k of take-home pay… you are in the right place!

054: The Anatomy of an Effective Review Meeting Agenda that Drives Results
For a while my parent company was doing this survey process with clients and there was ONE thing that was consistently mentioned in our client reviews as a fan favorite. And this survey process would actually ask them a series of questions and they would free form answer… I tell you this because it’s not like they picked this one thing from a list of items. It was something they came up with off the top of their head when asked about the professionalism of our practice. It kept coming up and I was scratching my head because I thought it was just such an ODD thing to see constantly mentioned as an amazing part of our process. Sometimes it’s the simples things… I’m guessing you want to know what that one thing was…. OUR AGENDA! Now before you hit skip on this podcast because you already use an agenda hear me out. Your agenda can do SO MUCH MORE than just guide your meeting. In fact, when you apply some psychology to it, make it part of your systems of efficiency, design it to add value to your meetings and use it as a way to increase your personal relationship with your clients… it clearly becomes one of your clients, your teams’, and your favorite things. Today’s podcast is all about the anatomy of an effective, efficient, and enjoyable agenda. I’m going to share with you the exact layout and format of the agendas we used in my business to do all the things I mentioned before AND help me run a tight meeting that was jam packed with value, eliminated redundancy, and helped our office run like a well-oiled machine. And, per the request of the Efficient Advisor Community, I’ve got a download of our agenda to go along with this episode. Listen at the end to find out how you can get the template. --------------------------------------------LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:Get the editable agenda template here!
