Communicating your value: differentiating your brand for client acquisition and retentionFinancial professionals are experts at working with clients to help them pursue their financial goals. But how do you turn your competitive strengths into messages that prospective clients will want to hear? Without these skills, your ability to acquire new business and even retain existing clients could be at risk. And today, with information overload, volatile markets, heightened competition, and regulatory changes; your messaging is more critical than ever. This module is designed to help you create compelling “value statements” (who you work with), define and simplify your core story in a compelling way that generates action (what you do), demonstrate how to “put process in your practice” (how you do it), and share how to amplify your brand (where and how you say it). We will also share information on communicating your fees in a transparent and confident way and the importance of making sure that team members are aligned on messaging.

Empowering business owner conversations: becoming the business owner's most valued advisorWorking with business owners can be challenging and yet very lucrative. We know from the Exit Planning Institute’s State of Owner Readiness Survey 2022 that 80% of an owner’s wealth is locked up in their business. This survey also tells us that although 99% agree that having a transition plan is important for both their business and their personal future, 79% have no written transition plan. This is a space that is ripe with opportunity but how do you embed yourself with business owners so that you are a trusted team member when the liquidity event occurs? To help you, John Hancock Investment Management has partnered with the Exit Planning Institute (EPI) to bring you “Empowering business owner conversations: becoming the business owner’s most valued advisor”.
