As a financial advisor, you help clients achieve their financial goals. So you first need to find out what their goals are.
But the worst way to do that is to ask them. In fact, if you ask your clients about their goals, you might be sending them straight to another advisor.
That’s because all humans are irrational and biased. Once you accept that, you’ll be much better at helping clients get what they want—and keeping clients around for years.
In this episode, financial advisor, speaker and author Carl Richards stops by to show you how to serve your clients better by being realistic about human nature.
