Prospecting Training for
Financial Advisors
Build the confidence to reach out. Develop the skills to earn introductions. Create more opportunities to grow.
Manard Warren & Associates helps financial advisors strengthen their prospecting habits, overcome Sales Call Reluctance®, and build a more consistent approach to business development.
Through Retrain Your Sales Brain™, Elite Referral Strategies™, the SPQ*GOLD® Assessment, and live prospecting exercises, we help advisors understand what holds them back and practice the conversations that move their business forward.
What's Getting Between Your Advisors and Their Next Client?
Knowing what to do and consistently doing it are two different challenges.
An advisor may understand the importance of prospecting but still hesitate to make a call, follow up with a potential client, or ask for an introduction.
Fear of rejection, self-doubt, and concern about appearing pushy can turn good intentions into missed opportunities.
Our prospecting training for financial advisors addresses both the skills needed to start meaningful conversations and the emotional barriers that make those conversations difficult.
Retrain Your Sales Brain™
Build More Consistent Prospecting Habits
When prospecting keeps getting pushed aside, another script may only address part of the problem.
Retrain Your Sales Brain™ helps financial advisors recognize and work through the Sales Call Reluctance® that can interfere with outreach, referral requests, and follow-through. Advisors learn to identify patterns of avoidance and develop more productive habits.
Available as two four-hour virtual sessions or one full-day, in-person workshop, the program includes four biweekly virtual follow-up sessions to support continued application.
Elite Referral Strategies™
Make Asking for Introductions Feel Natural
Strong client relationships can open doors. Advisors need a thoughtful process for starting that conversation.
Elite Referral Strategies™ teaches financial advisors how to discuss the value clients have experienced and use those conversations as a foundation for requesting referrals.
In this interactive half-day workshop, participants develop a Client Satisfaction Conversation™, strengthen their prospecting talk tracks, and apply their preparation through live dialing with real clients.
Available in person or virtually, this referral training helps advisors approach introductions with greater clarity and purpose.
SPQ*GOLD®
ASSESSMENT
Understand What's Holding You Back
Different advisors can struggle with prospecting for different reasons.
The SPQ*GOLD® Assessment identifies patterns of Sales Call Reluctance® that may affect an advisor's willingness to initiate contact and pursue new business.
Manard Warren & Associates helps participants interpret their results and identifying priorities for improvement. For team leaders, those insights provide a more informed starting point for coaching and development.
Live Prospecting Exercises // Put the Training Into Practice
Confidence develops through action.
Our live prospecting exercises give advisors an opportunity to use what they are learning during the training. In Elite Referrals Strategies™, participants prepare for and make calls to real clients, bringing the referral process into an actual conversation.
The purpose is practical: help advisors move from understanding an approach to using it.
