Question from a subscriber: “We are stumped by bringing younger advisors into the business. How do I find talent and not waste my time sorting through a million applicants?“

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!

Is it Okay for Financial Advisors to Cry in Front of Clients?

I’ve talked before about how instead of being shrouded and veiled, advisors should come across in a more human and relatable way with clients and prospects.
