Getting More Women into Financial Advising [Brutal Honesty]

Sign Up For Daily Newsletter: Receive one actionable marketing tip each DAY!

As you know, we tell the real story on the Sara Grillo podcast.

Women are about half the population and they are increasingly seeking financial advice on their own, and seeking it from other women. So why in heavens are women still underrepresented and underpaid relative to men in the profession?

You will learn:

  • How changing compensation structure and using a teaming approach can help
  • The power of sharing stories and having successful women as influencers
  • What men can do to support women in the industry
