Build On Purpose (1/3)

Building On Purpose

Part One of Three

Three Simple Reasons Why Building On Purpose Is Critical

  1. It Empowers you to earn trust quickly in a digital world.
  2. It allows you to highlight the value you control the most. (Perception)
  3. It sets the standard for behavior in collaborative relationships.

What does it mean to “Build on Purpose?”

When your client-centered purpose has been defined by you, it empowers you to earn trust quickly in a digital world. This tangible demonstration of your shared interests with your ideal audience is the cornerstone of your unique foundation of trust. The words you choose to define your purpose must carry the weight of the seriousness of your calling… in other words, your purpose can’t be a catchphrase.

When you are able to align your purpose with your principles and values, you are beginning to demonstrate your integrity in a tangible format.

This is my purpose… these are the principles that have helped me form my unique purpose… these are the values that I hold dear… they are connections that must be published by you to demonstrate connecting points with the behavior that will be promised by you and your clients.


 

Your beliefs and opinions must be demonstrable as well. After all, they are why you get paid in the first place. If you aren’t forming beliefs and opinions about this industry and the value you provide to your clients, you aren’t really in the business of financial advice.

 

These are my beliefs… I state them as being fundamentally true because that’s how strong my conviction is around the decisions I make daily. My opinions are published in the form of genuine concerns that I have for my clients. 


Your purpose principles and beliefs must be in complete alignment and you must be able to prove that alignment tangibly to survive in a robo world.

Price & Value – Justify Your Fee

Your value does not decrease but your compensation will. The perception of your value is directly correlated to how you get paid.

The first time I heard this statement was in the 80’s and it holds true to this day… the only caveat I would add is this… an updated version for the advisor in the future… screenshot-2016-10-09-at-3-55-11-am

When your value goes unnoticed it is reflected in the price people will pay for your services. If you neglect to make your advisor alpha (your authentic relevant value) tangible, the sustainability of your business is at risk.

In the digital age of transparency you can’t afford the risk associated with not making your value tangible.medium-1-300x262

Meaningful Engagement

More Content That Matters

The content that you publish must be relevant to your ideal audience…

That’s it.


You don’t have time to generate siloed content to put behind gated walls to gather emails (spam emails) of potential clients to put in a sales funnel to harass with an email campaign that creates a cost center for your business.
Those days are over.

Your content must create meaningful engagement for clients and prospects in one fell swoop.

Your published engagement must cause action… the action for your clients is to stay and continue to pay you. The action for prospects is to leave their current situation for your unique services (if they qualify).

Your position as a trusted wealth steward allows you to publish your beliefs and opinions without hesitation. Your client-centered purpose guides you in the direction of what topics to publish. Your behavior must be promised to elicit reciprocal actions (you promise yours, they promise theirs).

The topics you publish have been designed to lead the engagement to your unique value, but moreover, the unique value you control the most (no compliance required).

The way you see marketing must be different than what we have been taught.

Your marketing campaigns must generate revenue… not leads.

There is no time for legacy tactics in a robo-world.

The progression to generate meaningful engagement can only be found here.
