Here is one of my Forbes articles titled, "How Financial Professionals Can Use Authority Positioning To Increase Lead Closing Rates" https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbescoachescouncil/2021/10/13/how-financial-professionals-can-use-authority-positioning-to-increase-lead-closing-rates/ One of the learning points is: "If you have the opportunity to be seen as an expert in front of your leads and referrals, you can outshine your competitors. You will have a commanding presence with your potential clients, including affluent families and business owners. You may sell life and annuity, or you may focus on assets under management, but you want to be able to close those leads with predictability." Make it a great day and if you'd ever like to schedule a joint Zoom call to chat about my Authority program, just let me know :)

Henry Ford's quote reminds us that we cannot rely solely on our intentions and future plans to build a reputation. It is through taking action, consistently pushing forward, overcoming obstacles, and learning from our mistakes that we truly establish ourselves. By embracing the power of action, we can build a strong reputation that sets us apart and propels us towards success. So, let's remember: We need to talk less, act more, and let our actions speak for themselves! Make it a great day!
