Okay this is going to seem reeeeally weird – but, it works.

Ready for some financial advisor recruiting tips?

Get a picture of yourself holding an animal. Look happy. Maybe you have a pet, or if not you can ask a neighbor if you could pose for a quick picture.

Example:

Go to your social media and post these words, along with the pet picture.

I own a company helping people with their money. I am looking to hire someone who has a good attitude and is honest, who could help me and my clients. If you know anyone, please send me a message.”

Then,

  • Get everyone you know to share it on their social media pages, and you can even send it out in your email newsletter.
  • Use LinkedIn messenger to get this into post into the hands of 10-20 viable candidates a week.

And the reason this works is that you are showing your values and morals and invoking a sense of community which nobody else in the industry seems to see as a key focus of theirs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOOM there ya go – and that’s today’s marketing tip!
