Originally written by Maria Marsala as a guest columnist for RIA Biz. You have their attention. . . so now what?  The art of the spiel.  "You'll feel more confident in networking situations if you've already worked out a few 'scripts' ahead of time."  -- Maria Marsala Networking is something every financial advisor does to build local credibility and a stellar reputation.

10 Steps to a Strong Personal Foundation

2022-08-07T17:43:03-04:00March 6th, 2012|1. Mindset - Life Coaching|0 Comments

This time of year I always seem to think of an old boss, Thomas Leonard. For 20 years Thomas was a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) but the more successful his clients became monetarily, the more he realized that helping his clients also meant creating a stronger personal foundation and life plan to create tangible outcomes. Out of his work, Life Coaching was born, and Thomas was the first Personal Coach. While some claim they were coaching prior to Thomas Leonard's introduction of Life Coaching, he is credited with "labeling" the work.

By Caitlin Nish A DOW JONES NEWSWIRES COLUMN Posted here with permission. It appears on the DJ paid subscriber website www.DowJones.com NEW YORK -- 3/2/12   Social media may be the hot topic for wealth advisers these days, but that doesn't mean they should abandon traditional marketing strategies. Proponents of social media tout sites like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook as an easy way to connect with existing clients and most effective to reach a broad number of prospects. But marketing strategists say social media should only supplement other marketing like hosting a radio show, writing articles for the local newspaper or conducting an in-person educational seminar. Advisers have always wanted "magic fairy dust" when it comes to
