Financial Advisor Marketing Podcast

By: James Pollard
  • Summary

  • Financial advisors, does this sound familiar? You’re barraged with people and companies who promise to help you get six thousand new clients in thirty seconds or less as long as you follow their magic tip, trick, or tactic. If so, take a deep breath and relax because that is NOT what this show is about. Lol. Hi, I’m James Pollard. I’m the founder of TheAdvisorCoach.com and host of the “Financial Advisor Marketing” podcast. This podcast is rooted in timeless principles designed to help financial advisors attract their ideal audiences, forge authentic relationships, and build deep roots with prospective clients. If you listen to this podcast, I think you’ll find three things to be true: First, the information shared in this podcast is deceptively simple. This means you don’t have to be a genius or marketing expert to get results. I take immense pride in keeping things simple. Let everyone else chase complexity. Second, the episodes are chock-full of data, research, and studies. This means advisors can do their due diligence on marketing strategies and make informed decisions about how they’d like to build their businesses. And third, I don’t take myself too seriously. I joke around, laugh, and have fun. If any of this appeals to you, I encourage you to listen. ~James Pollard

  • How To Sell One-Time Financial Plans
    Jan 20 2025

    While one-time financial plans aren’t as attractive to prospective clients or your financial advice business, there’s still a place for them.

    Some people will prefer a one-time plan, and others might see it as a way to take your services for a test drive before committing to a long term relationship.

    But most financial advisors aren’t good at helping their prospective clients see the value of one-time financial plans. And this flaw nukes your conversion rates.

    So, in today’s episode, I’m going to share the biggest obstacles prospective clients will have to buying a one-time financial plan. And how you can overcome each one to improve your sales process and remove the barriers to working with you.

    Listen now.

  • The Secret Behind My Best Content Marketing Campaigns
    Jan 13 2025

    My track record of successful content marketing campaigns rivals anyone who specializes in helping advisors with their marketing. In fact, I don’t know if there’s anyone who has a more successful track record than myself in this niche.

    And today, I’m revealing the secret to why my content marketing campaigns have been so wildly successful. I’m not sharing this to brag, but to show you how simple it can be when you do it right.

    The problem is, 99% of financial advisors approach content marketing in the exact opposite way as I teach. That’s why your lead magnets, blogs, ads, and other forms of content marketing fall on deaf ears.

    But it doesn’t have to be this way once you listen to today’s episode.

    Show highlights include:

    • How applying the lesson from my grip strength story to your financial advice business will make 2025 your most profitable year yet (3:29)
    • Why this specific type of lead magnet attracts higher quality leads and clients than any other type (8:58)
    • The overlooked, yet only proven way to create high performing content that makes your prospects only want to hire you (10:08)
    • Here’s the brutal truth about why 99% of content financial advisors create falls flat and leads to no new business (10:19)
    • Why November, December, and January are the 3 most important months for determining how successful you’ll be (12:01)
    • The 4-step lead magnet creation process that will help you create a wildly successful lead magnet that turns strangers into your best clients (14:09)
