Successful financial advisors harnessing the power of podcasting, video, social media and progressively building their influence were attracting clients rather than having to chase them. Kirk's ‘ah-ha' moment—that influence is essential for professional experts—led to his co-founding of ProudMouth, an influence accelerator dedicated entirely to liberating financial experts and advisors from the tyranny of sales by giving them the means and methods to become recognized, in-demand authorities.

Start-and-stop is no way to accomplish anything. It takes much longer than it has to, you're constantly starting from zero again, and most importantly, you lose any and all momentum you've created. So why would anyone do that with their marketing?

File it under “Too much of a good thing”. Referrals? Good. Fantastic, in fact. In theory. Organic growth by word-of-mouth is the goal. It's virtually hands-free, affordable, and works for businesses small, medium, and large. It's the great equalizer. But before you get to the point of having a nearly self-perpetuating system, you need to lay the foundation, build the system, and cultivate the appropriate environment. And that is no quick fix.

Referrals are the lifeblood of new business and organic growth. But can it ever be too much of a good thing? Absolutely. In fact, referrals can quickly become a curse if you're not careful. You can drown in a sea of less-than-ideal referees while believing that you're building your business. Too many people are unaware of that disconnect. It's truly quality over quantity.

Yesterday I talked about what set 2020 up to be a year that accelerated digitation of business, namely for financial services. The topic was inspired by a 2021 expert marketing predictions roundup just published on wealthmanagement.com by my friend Robert Sofia, CEO of Snappy Kraken (an early WealthVoice customer by the way). It was hard to choose only five but here are some of my favorite fellow contributions from Patrick Brewer, Kirk Lowe, Samantha Russell, Penny Phillips, and Steve Sanduski. Want to read my prediction?
