Why 90% of Your Marketing Efforts Are Basically Worthless

from Financial Advisor Marketing Podcast

Most of what you do in marketing will not produce the results you desire. That's the harsh reality behind the mathematical structure of marketing.  But it's your mind that turns mathematical realities into a problem.  Here's what I mean: After racking up a couple of embarrassing marketing failures, most advisors think they're a failure and give up. They don't realize that every marketing failure skyrockets their odds of disproportionate success.  So, yes, 90% of your marketing efforts are basically worthless. 90% of my marketing efforts are basically worthless too.  But as long as you don't quit, then every failure brings you closer to your next marketing campaign being wildly successful because it allows the mathematical structure to work. Listen now. Show highlights include: The "Power Law" secret which explains why you put so much effort into marketing and get so little back (and more importantly, how to "flip" this law to work for you) (2:17)  A paradigm-shifting story from Y Combinator that will forever change how your approach marketing (it's also how Peter Thiel made $1 billion from one investment) (4:56)  Why it can be a good thing that your marketing produces no tangible results… as long as steer clear of these 2 common mistakes (7:34)  How the "Power Law" takes your marketing failures and uses them to increase the odds of wildly disproportionate results for future campaigns (10:31)  The "Double Down" rule that prevents your mind from sabotaging your marketing success (14:02)  How to radically increase your odds of marketing success by adding more "positions to your portfolio" (20:09)  Why advisors' analytical mind is the single biggest obstacle you'll face in marketing (20:49) Since you listen to this podcast, I want to give you a gift: If you subscribe to the Inner Circle Newsletter, I'll send you a collection of seven "objection busting" and copyright free emails, personally written by me, that you can use right away to begin getting more clients.
