Tommy talks with Reese Harper, the Director of Communications for NOPD

On today's episode, we are thrilled to welcome XYPN member, Reese Harper, CFP ®, and Carl Richards, CFP ®, to XYPN Radio. These innovative minds are behind the cutting-edge technology called Elements, XYPN's newest technology partner.  We'll dive deep into the origins of Elements, the technology itself, and the ideas that inspired its creation. Reese shares how his frustrations with the lack of realistic, standardized measurements for a client's financial health led him to define what he calls the client's 11 vital signs—an essential aspect that eventually led to the development of Elements. These vital signs don't just transform the delivery of financial planning services by advisors, but they also redefine the client's experience and the overall value of financial planning. What struck me most during this conversation was the emphasis on the client's' present situation, referred to by Carl as the "presenting problem." Elements, through its standardized set of measurements, defines a new language of advice and guides the client towards making the next right decision with their advisor. It's the ultimate engagement tool to help financial planners connect with their clients in an easy, fast, digestible way and provide visible ongoing value to their clients.  If you're interested in learning more about a beautifully designed conversion tool that will attract, engage and demonstrate ongoing vaule to prospects and clients, this is a can't miss episode!

Elements breathes life into financial analysis, generating comprehensive diagnostic reports that reveal the health of clients' portfolios. Imagine a detailed MRI for the client's financial well-being, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas for improvement. This transparency empowers advisors to move beyond surface-level analysis and craft strategies that address specific needs and aspirations.  In this episode, Jack talks with Reese Harper, CEO of Elements. Reese developed the Elements Financial Planning System to simplify how financial advisors organize and evaluate their clients' comprehensive financial data at a glance–enabling them to focus on the functional and emotional jobs that drive results for their clients. Reese is also an educator at heart, a renowned author, speaker, podcast host, and a trusted advisor for a select book of high-net-worth professionals. Reese talks with Jack about how Elements is changing the way financial planning is done. He discusses how providing diagnostic reports helps financial advisors assess the financial health of their clients. Tracking the 12 financial vital signs allows advisors to have more meaningful conversations with their clients and make targeted recommendations.

[33:03] - Reese's take on the future of the industry. [37:37] - Reese's passions outside of work. Quotes [01:34] - "Elements is a financial vitals software. It happens like a diagnostic report, blood pressure, or cholesterol readings in a doctor's visit. Think of it as financial vital signs that we use to assess the present-day financial health of an individual." - Reese Harper [34:07] - "When you deploy a strategy where you're having a conversation that is coming before the product or the planning conversation, make sure that the first conversation feels safe. Make sure it doesn't feel like there's a product in it. Make sure it feels valuable." ~ Reese Harper [36:29] - "If the value proposition you sold to your client was about the investments, the insurance, or the annuity, you might have a functional relationship that could be displaced. But if you start the relationship with an emotional job, meaning support, confidence, reassurance, or a deep relationship, you'll never get displaced." ~ Reese Harper Links  Reese Harper on LinkedIn Reese Harper on Twitter Elements Elementality for Financial Advisors Northwestern Mutual Dentist Advisors Wade Anderson Robinhood Tao Te Ching by Stephen Mitchell Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

We're excited to welcome XYPN member Reese Harper to the show today. Reese is the founder of Dentist Advisors, a virtual firm based in Salt Lake City, UT., focused on serving (you guessed it) dentists. Reese started his firm in 2007 after working at Northwestern Mutual, and he had one dentist client as part of a book of business that he left with. After experiencing 2008 and his first year of running his firm, he decided to go all-in and focus exclusively on dentists—and this is at a time when having a niche wasn't the cool thing to do. As the firm grew, he saw the need to provide more ongoing monitoring of clients' financial situations and started building some highly-functional spreadsheets to provide value to his clients. Then he shared a few of those spreadsheets with other advisors to get their feedback and input and has now built out a tech company named Elements to provide all advisors with the ability to monitor and provide proactive recommendations to their clients.

As the industry shifts towards more value-based advice, to really understand your clients, you need to understand what motivates them.On this episode of the Elementality podcast, Reese Harper and David Dodd, of The Other 90 Financial, discuss faith-based investing, how personal values can change a client's portfolio, and a socially conscious approach to money.

Many of us joined the financial advising industry as a way to have an impact on the lives of others. But as we grow our business tasks can add up, leaving us overworked and uninspired. So, what can we do to change this? How do we provide excellent service and grow our business while also prioritizing our relationships and personal goals? On today's episode, Reese Harper, the founder of Dentist Advisors and Elements, Financial Planning Software. As a 20-year veteran in the industry, Reese has seen advisors struggle to maintain balance and tackle the sheer complexity and size of the financial market. We will be discussing his journey, how you can find your niche, client experience, and more.  Unfortunately, you can't provide every service to everyone. You have to find your niche, the people you want to work for. Someone's occupation has a lot to do with their view of money, temperament, and emotional decision-making. Picking the right niche is hard, but once you find it you can structure your business and life in a more efficient manner.  Reese has seen advisors struggle with their relationships. They can be hard to maintain when you are working long, stressful hours. There is a lot of pressure on the individual in this industry and that weighs on us. Inside of their businesses, advisors struggle to find their role. Do they want to be just an advisor? An operator? A marketer? All these roles have different tasks and requirements. You can't fill them all. You want to find the things you love doing, the things you are good at and stick to them.  In response to what he has seen in the industry, Reese created Elements, an interactive planning software. Elements follow the "vital signs" of your client's financial health while measuring important metrics like risk, debt-to-income ratio, and more. Join us as we take a deep dive into his program and how it can help advisors like you!  What we discuss on today's episode:  Reese's journey as an advisor  Finding a niche in the market  Finding balance through exercise and relationships  Developing your role within your business  How Elements works and how it helps advisors provide excellent services   TIMESTAMPS 1:06 - Welcome Reese Harper 7:10 – How did he scale his business? 15:53 – Capitalizing on a certain market 20:00 – Connecting with your niche 21:34 – What does balance mean to him? 33:14 – What has he seen advisors struggle with? 39:48 – What is he doing with Elements? 55:25 – Getting started with Elements   RESOURCES Read more about Elements Email: travis@travisparry.com Get Travis' newest book!

Over the past few episodes, we've spent a lot of time on target marketing because we feel it's such an important piece to building a profitable business. Today we're taking the conversation a step further and introducing you to an advisor that's built a national business focused strictly one on profession: dentists. It might seem like an extremely specific niche but it works very well, and there's a lot we can learn. Meet Reese Harper, Founder and CEO of Dentist Advisors. He designed a powerful service platform called Elements which is used by dentists across the country for retirement planning. After working for a few years at Northwestern Mutual, he left to start his own firm in 2008 because he wanted to build something bigger than just himself. That's exactly what he's done. It's a success story that didn't come without a lot of time, sacrifice, and risk. During our conversation, we'll discuss all of that and find out how this idea came to be. As you'll hear, the target market came second to the platform he wanted to design and perfect first. There are a lot of takeaways from the podcast, but the common thing you'll hear from everyone that makes the decision to focus on specific niche market is that you need to gain the knowledge of that profession before you attempt to market to them. If you don't know your stuff, they'll see that immediately and it'll cost you credibility. So as you go through the episode today, keep an ear out for some of these topics that we cover: Building a business from the beginning. Creating systems Characteristics for choosing a target market.
