112: Using “Influence” Techniques To Persuade Prospects To Become Clients with Evan Beach

Three important questions every advisor should answer: Do you think you provide a valuable and life-changing service? Do you think your clients are better off with you than without you, even after they pay? Do you find that even though they’re better off with you, they still need a little nudge to make the decision to work with you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then here’s the harsh truth you need to hear: Getting prospects to become clients requires more than expertise. It requires persuasion. And if you can learn to persuade more effectively, then your life-changing impact will be greater and more widespread.
