In this episode of the Top Advisor Podcast, Bill Cates sits down with Molly McClure, Executive Director of Marketing at OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners, to look at how prospects choose a financial advisor today. A trusted introduction may put an advisor at the top of the list, but prospects still do their homework. They check your website. They look at your LinkedIn profile. They search Google, and increasingly, they ask AI.  Yup!  For better or worse, AI is playing a huge role in this dynamic now. Molly shares what advisors can do to strengthen that next step and make sure their marketing supports the tried and true referral process. Here are 3 Key Takeaways: The Referral Gets You Considered: A warm introduction opens the door. Your online presence helps the prospect decide whether to walk through it. The referral comes with borrowed trust. Your online presence can increase that – if done properly. Your Message Has to Be Specific: Does your website clearly show who you help, what makes you different, and why the prospect should call you? Do your new prospects “see themselves” in how you talk about your value? Client Surveys Can Start Better Conversations: Client survey results can lead you to clients who are willing to refer but maybe haven't done so… yet. This creates a natural opportunity to follow up and help them recognize who may be a good fit. Listen in for a smart, practical conversation about blending referrals and marketing, with advice on creating useful content, improving search visibility, simplifying website forms, and making sure your links and follow-up systems work, so you can become the first call clients make when life gets complex.

In this insightful episode of The Health and Wellness Coach Journal, Dr. Jessica Singh speaks with Gina Martin, PCC, an Executive Coach, Consultant, and Director of Executive Coaching & Leadership Development at Leap Academy. Her work has been recognized with the Gold Stevie Award for Mentor and Coach of the Year, and she is a member of the Forbes Coaches Council with advanced certifications in Hogan and DiSC. Gina is also the founder of Own Your Next, a nonprofit that supports high-achieving women as they rebuild confidence, identity, and their careers after cancer. Gina shares her journey from corporate leadership to coaching, spanning more than 25 years of leading in high-pressure organizations such as Victoria's Secret, GUESS, and Gap. She reflects on the transitions that shaped her life, from arriving in the United States at age 18 with $300, a toddler, and no English, to becoming a single mother, building a successful career, and later navigating a stage-three breast cancer diagnosis. Gina speaks candidly about advocating for herself when her intuition told her something was wrong, even after two mammograms came back clear. She shares what treatment required of her physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, physical therapy, and the difficult but necessary decision to slow down. Together, Dr. Singh and Gina explore what healing can ask of high achievers, why self-compassion becomes essential during profound change, and how coaching helped Gina stay present through uncertainty. Gina also shares how cancer reshaped her identity, values, confidence, and professional path as she rebuilt her coaching career with more alignment, presence, and purpose. The conversation also offers meaningful guidance for coaches who are finding their way, building a business, or learning to value their lived experience. Gina reminds coaches that they are more than a certification and that their story, resilience, and voice are part of what they bring to the coaching relationship.

Key Takeways: The Long Haul: Battling Loneliness and Crisis in Trucking Dr. Gina Anderson and Joe Lynch discuss the long haul: battling loneliness and crisis in trucking. They unpack the high regulatory burden and stringent requirements that drivers face, including impeccable records and Hours of Service, sparking job stress. Luma Brighter Learning, led by Dr. Gina Anderson (Ed.D.), offers a tailored LMS with eNugget® microlearning to combat the isolation and mental health issues prevalent in trucking. This addresses the loneliness from long periods away from home.

The trucking profession suffers from a high regulatory burden, demanding strict adherence to rules, which contributes to driver stress and potential burnout. Luma's LMS is designed to mitigate compliance strain. Isolation and mental health concerns are widespread among drivers due to the nature of long-haul trucking, leading to loneliness and depression. Luma's engaging content aims to counteract these negative impacts. Alarming life expectancy figures underscore the severe health impacts of the profession, necessitating urgent industry-wide changes and effective solutions. Luma's focus on safety and well-being directly addresses this.

According to a report by Yale University, a person's hair and hairstyle impact not only our self-image but also the impression of others about us. Throughout the decades, society and media have inculcated the image of "perfect hair" as free-flowing, shiny, and tangle-free. However, this is definitely a false presentation of the realities of hair. The American Hair Research Society explains that an array of hair disorders and issues plague the nation, including hair loss (such as autoimmune alopecia areata and stress-derived telogen effluvium) and hair shaft defects (fragile hair, frizziness, coarseness, split ends).We are joined today by JuE Wong, the CEO and President of OLAPLEX since 2020, a global senior executive, and a transformative beauty industry leader. Born and raised in Singapore, JuE received her BA in International Economics and Political Science from The Australian National University in 1987 with an exchange scholarship at UCLA. Throughout the years, she has then progressed to be the revolutionary Global Director and President of brands such as Elizabeth Arden, Moroccanoil, Obagi, StriVectin, Astral Brands, Murad, Perricone MD, ZO Skin Health, and PepsiCo.

Following stints at Sears and as a door-to-door salesman, Ray founded Alcora Corporation, which would later become the parent company of his most successful venture to date: MONAT. A second-generation direct sales entrepreneur, Ray found his love for the industry at a young age after seeing the impact it had on his family. He found inspiration for MONAT when he recognized a lack of awareness that your hair ages and that scalp care is just as important as skincare. As he dug into the multi-billion-dollar haircare industry, he made two key discoveries. There were no direct selling companies focused on haircare as their signature product line; and there were no haircare products focused on healthy aging. Ray saw an opportunity to disrupt both the beauty and the direct selling industries in a major way, and in 2014, he officially launched MONAT as a direct selling, healthy-aging haircare company – the first of its kind. Under his leadership, MONAT has grown at a lightening pace, expanding into multiple international markets and, in 2019, launching a second product category: MONAT Skincare. With Ray at the helm, MONAT has grown into a global beauty brand with hundreds of millions in annual revenue, more than 400 corporate employees, and an independent sales force, known as Market Partners, of over 200,000. The company has also revolutionized the direct selling model, introducing the social selling model that brings the direct sales model of yesteryear into the 21st century. During his tenure, MONAT has accomplished a number of key strategic initiatives, including the launch of MONAT Gratitude, the company's philanthropic initiative focused on impacting families, children and education, and encouraging Market Partners to do the same in their communities. Ray has received a number of awards and recognitions including a Gold Stevie Award for Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019 and a spot on South Florida Business Journal's List of Power Leaders for 2020. He earned a degree in International Business from Florida International University.

  Subscribe to Modern Selling on the App of Your Choice! The COVID-19 outbreak has many sales leaders scrambling to create or find virtual sales training that works. In one sense, that’s entirely understandable. As the virus spreads, more and more sales training companies are having to cancel scheduled training events and companies are requiring their sales teams to work from home. Moving forward, methods of training that do not require in-person attendance are needed. But in another sense, I’m left shaking my head. This is 2020—it seems to me that most companies should have already had some form of virtual sales training in place. We at Vengreso have already created and implemented our own virtual instructor-led sales training program, focused on helping those who prospect via social media to do it in a modern and effective way.  We’ve seen incredible results from what we’ve created because we’ve integrated neuroscience and modern learning principles into our curriculum. On this episode, my guest Kurt Shaver (one of my co-founders at Vengreso) helps me unpack the principles that go into a powerful virtual sales training course to help you equip your sales team no matter the circumstances. This episode is sponsored by XANT, the enterprise leader in sales engagement. Xant has authored the Definitive Guide to Sales Cadence. Get your copy at www.SalesCadenceGuide.com Hands-Down, Virtual Sales Training Is More Effective Than In-Person Events Recent studies diving into the effectiveness of group training events reveal details that are both alarming and vitally important when developing any kind of training. A study by Gartner reveals that as a result of live group training events, participants lose 70% of what they’ve learned within six days and 87% within six weeks. That’s a very poor ROI in my book. Comparatively, the Harvard Business Review reports the opposite impact of virtual sales training: through virtual means of training, 80% of the information is retained after 60 days when a technique known as “spacing” is utilized. Interestingly, the utilization of spacing is ONLY possible in an online training environment.  We’ll unpack what spacing is in a moment, but to our point here—the difference between in-person group training and online/virtual training for your sales team could be significant when it comes to retention and effectiveness. If You Intend To Build Your Own Digital Sales Training, Take It Seriously During our conversation on this episode of #ModernSelling, Kurt makes a great point by referring to the effort and time required to learn a language. You don’t simply cram to learn the grammar and vocabulary of a foreign language and suddenly become fluent. It takes time—and that's time spent while immersed in the practice and use of the language. That's because practice makes perfect. Kurt’s point? The same is true for the creation and development of your digital sales training materials. You must ensure that what you’re creating will contain the right concepts and information AND be effective. For instance, our program took over 10,000 combined man-hours to compile, record, refine, and publish. The results - we received the Gold Stevie Award in 2020 for the best sales training program for the second consecutive year. So, don’t think you can slap something together quickly or easily. It requires funds and personnel to tackle a training project of this magnitude. If You're Going To Invest In Building Your Own Virtual Training, Do This! If you’re willing to put in the 10,000+ hours and financial resources to build a truly effective virtual sales training course for your team, good for you! But you’ll need to ensure effectiveness. How do you do that?  Certainly not with a powerpoint presentation and droning narration. In this episode we cover the following seven science-backed components to an effective online training. Include Gamification Implement Chunking and Spacing Promote Deliberate Practice Integrate plenty of Repetition into your course Use the power of Video to keep students engaged Include periodic exercises to Test Knowledge Supplement everything with Personal Coaching (group or one on one) Kurt and I define all of these in our conversation and explain why we prefer a group coaching approach to a one-on-one coaching approach, so be sure you listen! If You Can’t Build Your Own Online Sales Training, What Alternatives Exist? You may feel like you have neither the expertise nor the interest in investing in the creation of your own virtual sales training. That’s OK, there is no need to reinvent that wheel, especially if you’re only looking for a short-term solution while employees are working from home because of the restrictions forced by COVID-19. Our program—Selling with LinkedIn® —is one example of the types of resources that are available. You'll find others available online as well. But, be sure you're getting a course that's designed with those seven principles of effective learning. Our course includes them by design. Whatever you decide, ensure that your training dollars are being invested wisely.

“The strength that you get from that experience is actually what prepares you for your Dharma. So you don't want to skip past it. A lot of people are like, what's my soul's purpose? What's my Dharma?

Ande has made it her mission to break down the emotional, behavioral and societal barriers that stand between women and strong financial foundations. Early in her more than 25 year career she rejected traditional planning methods that didn’t account for how emotions factor into financial decision making. Wanting to do things differently, she developed an expertise in behavioral finance. In the years to follow, she saw again and again that conventional wisdom about women and money was flawed: It’s not women’s finances that determine their self-worth. It’s women’s sense of self-worth that determines their finances. And like that, a new philosophy was born. In late 2018, Ande launched myWorth, a media community that’s inspiring a financial awakening among women who are eager to take control of their financial journeys. She built myWorth on two core beliefs: Traditional approaches to speaking to women about money are broken. And conversations about money must align directly with women’s personal values and goals. Ande rose to the top of the primarily male-dominated insurance world as the former head of a multi-million-dollar fintech company and VP at Penn Mutual. She is now widely recognized as a driving force in the financial community, holding multiple finance and insurance designations including a CFP®, CLU, ChFC, RICP, BFATM and ChSNC. She regularly appears on top national media outlets to speak about topics at the intersection of women and finance And she has been named one of the “Top 100 in Finance” in 2019 and “Top 50 Women of 2019” by Top 100 Magazine, as well as one of Bristol’s “Who’s Who Among Distinguished Professionals and Executives.” In addition, she is a Gold Stevie Award winner for Female Executive of the Year (Consumer Services 10 employees or less) for 2019. Her book Financially Free: 11 Conversations To Have With Yourself About Life, Money, And Worth was released on March 10, 2020. Ande lives in New York and is married with two children.
