138: How To Communicate The Intangible Value of Financial Planning with Michael Lecours

Financial planning is a service-based business.

You’re selling the invisible. It can’t be seen, touched or experienced before buying.

Prospects are forced to search for other ways to evaluate the value of working with you (most of which are NOT great options to inform such an important decision!).

Fortunately, Michael Lecours, a financial advisor and co-founder of fpPathfinder, joined the show to explain the challenges of communicating the value of an intangible service and share specific ideas to make the financial planning experience more tangible.

You’ll Learn:
  • How a dentist office made their service more tangible
  • The invisible influences that drive a prospect’s decision
  • Using a client journey map to enhance client experiences
  • What Airbnb can teach us about marketing the real value of an advisor
