Think about it. When every second counts, what actually impacts a prospect enough to keep them listening? For our sales associates, a prospect is never more than an “End Call” button a way from exiting the conversation. Our approach has to intrigue the prospect and at the same time build up enough trust that the prospect agrees to meet with an advisor.

This challenge is not unique to cold calling. Any high-value prospect will be comfortable saying “no” and exiting a sales conversation if he or she is not truly engaged. At the same time, competition for these prospects is significant enough that if you aren’t making a meaningful connection with the prospect, eventually someone else will, so you need an approach that is consistently impactful.

That, however, does not mean that this approach is easy. Engaging a prospect in an emotional discussion with sincerity and poise takes practice, which might mean that it feels uncomfortable at first. In fact, talking to a prospect about their deeper concerns with succession planning might even mean opening up the book of your own life and sharing a few chapters.

If this approach was easy, every advisor would already be doing it. The upfront difficulty is what separates that top advisors from everyone else. If you are willing to take a different approach, you can capture new business that your competitors can’t.
