093: Solo - Why Most Financial Advisors Are a Commodity (And What To Do About It)

  • Summary

  • Have you ever wondered how McDonald’s turned a simple hamburger into the Big Mac—one of the most iconic products in the world? What made them so different from every other hamburger stand that existed? They didn’t just sell ingredients; they sold a process, a unique experience that only they could deliver.Most financial advisors fall into the same trap as the countless hamburger stands that never made it big. They focus on selling “ingredients” like annuities, ETFs, or asset managers. But when your offer looks and sounds just like the firm's down the block, how can clients tell the difference? McDonald’s thrived because they didn’t just sell hamburgers—they sold a Big Mac. And in the same way, the advisors who scale their businesses are the ones who package their expertise into a proprietary, one-of-a-kind process that clients can’t get anywhere else.In this episode, I’ll show you how to do the same for your advisory firm by turning your services into a proprietary, trademarked process that sets you apart in a crowded industry.3 Big Insights from This Episode:1.) Packaging Is Key: Stop listing “ingredients” like tax planning and investment management. Instead, create a proprietary, trademarked process that sets your firm apart and builds trust.2.) Speak Aspirationally, Not Informationally: Clients don’t care about Sharpe ratios or betas—they care about living their dream retirement. Learn to frame your services around the outcomes your clients actually want.3.) Simplify the Complex: Confused prospects never buy. Use clear, tangible demonstrations to take clients from overwhelmed to confident about their financial future.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/93FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Process VS Product Coaching VideoWant to go even deeper on the topic of creating a proprietary process so you can stand out and scale?
