Ep 99: Improving Your Impact During Client Interactions with Carl Richards

On today’s episode, we brought in thought leader, Carl Richards. I’ve been following Carl for a long time. He is the creator of The Behavior Gap, a Certified Financial Planner and the creator of The Sketch Guy column. 

We had a dynamic conversation that could have extended for hours. Carl opened up about the impact he’s made in the wealth advisors and management industry along with his journey to success. We discussed changing the way we deliver client expectations and rerouting them to their goals, the importance beyond becoming emotionally connected with our clients, what the client can and cannot control, and how to make the change as an advisor that may 10x your business.
