Being a Financial Advisor is not all that different to being a cop, according to Shane Black of Pearl Financial that is.
As an ex police officer, Shane uses behavioural psychology to help clients get in tune with what’s actually important to them, rather than what they think should be important to them.
He’s a ‘Masters of Applied Finance’ graduate who switched from law enforcement to Financial Advice in 2012 and has been helping his client’s kick their biggest financial and lifestyle goals ever since. When he’s not working with clients or spending time with his young son William, you can find him cracking plenty of (dad) jokes in the XY Facebook Group (www.facebook.com/groups/XYAdviser).
Here’s the nuggets of FP gold from this episode:
5:32 – Why Shane re-branded to his business four years ago
8:23 – What Shane’s work hours looked like before his son was born to now and how he’s adjusted his workflows
10:21 – Virtual outsourcing and the first task Shane gave to a virtual assistant
17:15 – Where Shane find clients and his referral strategy
23:02 – What is Shane working on in his business now? Hint: the key theme is content
29:45 – What Shane does really well as an advisor, and what he wants to be really good at next
39:15 – Shane’s mission, and why he enjoys working with professionals and business people

With marketing being the single biggest topic of discussion in the XY Community (www.facebook.com/groups/XYAdviser), we’re kicking off a brand-new series within the XY Podcast focused entirely on, yep you guessed it - marketing. Tailored for Financial Advisors but applicable to all other industry professionals, these episodes are going to give you practical examples and step by step processes with a look into how the most successful advisors are nailing this space.
First cab off the rank is none other than Ben Nash (LinkedIn:/benjaminjnash/) - Founder and Adviser of Pivot Wealth (www.pivotwealth.com.au) and Co-Founder of XY Adviser. Aside from a very strong beard game, Ben has built his advice business from scratch using a strategic and unique marketing strategy. This strategy evolved from Ben’s desire to never rely on anyone else to find clients, and we can confidently say he is nailing it.
This episode is a deep dive into the exact process Ben used to market his business and attract clients from day one. You’ll hear about the coaches, programs and mentors Ben has leveraged in building his business, why a support network has been a vital part of his success, how he promoted his live workshops and the impact they had on his audience, Ben’s total game changer when it comes to explaining his fees to prospective clients and why incremental improvements trumps trying to ‘jump the great wall’ every time.
