like cpas, financial planners have long been associated with numbers people. they’re highly trained to use mathematics to address a client’s risk tolerance, goals, time horizons, and a magic “retirement number.” but george kinder, founder of the kinder institute of life planning, argues that most practitioners are overlooking the most obvious skill needed to be a successful advisor: listening.

“too many advisors take the math-first approach,” kinder says. “instead, they should be doing deep listening and building trust with clients to help them construct their ideal life. only when that’s established should the math and money decisions be introduced.”

choose leadership over management.

leading from the edge

one of the biggest obstacles to a firm realizing its potential, its partners and staff realizing their potential, and a firm leader maximizing his impact on the trajectory of the firm is when the line between leading and managing gets blurred.

too often, center leaders believe their job is telling everyone what to do and how to do it (managing things) versus providing the tools, authority and clarity on the firm’s strategic objectives and then getting out of the way (edge leadership). leadership at its most basic level is about inspiring everyone toward a common shared vision and ensuring that the decision-making hierarchy is clear and consistent within the firm’s mission and core values. edge leadership is not about tactics and how things are done, but about making sure everyone is doing the right things, with accountability for results.

bissett bullet: compete solely on outcomes

today’s bissett bullet: “if a potential client is with a firm that has done a good job recording their past, let’s applaud that. we’re still the right choice for their future.”

by martin bissett

just like in politics, it’s so easy to disparage the competition rather than provide solutions. we often ignore the fact that the business owner we are talking to is the one who chose the competition in the first place. by disparaging the competition, we are disparaging the client’s decision-making abilities and suggesting that they would not be clever by choosing us either.

when we find an accountant who has done a genuinely good job, let us congratulate our prospect for having partnered with a strong professional organization and not lose sight of why no matter how good they are, we are better.

today’s to-do:

let’s understand before we ever get to a meeting with the prospect how we are likely to be superior as a commercial choice for this business. we should not be competing on price, we should not be competing on services, but we should always be competing on outcomes.
