In this episode, Philip and Ryan Williamson discuss:
- How to be a client-centric advisor
- Building a strong community network
- Ensuring successful succession planning
- The importance of motivation and desire
Key Takeaways:
- Be a client-centric advisor by becoming an Investment Advisor Representative and upholding a fiduciary standard that puts the client’s interests first and foremost. Focus on building long-term relationships with clients and building trust.
- Build a network of strong community relationships. Choose to connect with and give referrals to people who share similar values and capabilities. Recognize the value of coaching and continuous learning in personal and professional growth.
- In order to ensure successful succession planning, business owners must start the process early on in their career. Consider the challenge of transitioning clients to a firm that can continue to provide the same level of service.
- Oftentimes, motivation and a strong desire to succeed is what gets people through difficult circumstances and challenges. Be true to yourself, build resilience, and invest in your continuous learning so that you can achieve consistent success. Coaches and mentors provide a lot of value in this area.
“Learning is the key and having multiple relationships allows individuals to really create relationships that are in their best interest.” - Ryan Williamson
