The Myth Of The Multi-Step Sales Process

By Ari Galper, the world’s #1 authority on trust-based selling

The idea that you need multiple meetings to build trust with a qualified prospect is a myth driven by elders who say: “This is how I built my practice, do as I do.”

The reason your advisory practice exists, is so you can get paid for your financial knowledge and expertise.

Most advisors tip-toe around that fact and unnecessarily elongate their sales process.

Instead of building trust with their prospect and holding their authority, many lose both trust and their authority, by doing free consulting and follow-up.

“Isn’t that just the selling game?”.

No.

It’s what happens when an industry commoditizes itself by adopting flawed ideas around selling.

Think about it.

The discovery meeting and the financial planning meeting are mini-engagements with your prospect where you share your time, knowledge and expertise as an advisor.

What usually happens at the end?

Your prospect “wants to think about it” and vanishes.

They got your time and your valuable knowledge but you didn’t get paid.

It’s free consulting literally.

Now, more than ever, is the time to shift from this ‘standard industry practice’ and consider a radically different path…

Eliminate all “next step” thinking in your sales approach

You’re either onboarding your prospect from the initial sales conversation or not at all.

There is no next step.

“Are you insane? That will never work in a complex environment like advisory”.

Well, consider how a doctor diagnoses their patient, writes them a prescription, and they immediately agree to the medicine.

Do they take the prescription home to think about it?

Do they wait for a chemical analysis of the drugs before they buy them from the pharmacy?

No, they complete the process from diagnosis to buying the treatment, in one single step, because they trust the doctor.

Diagnosis alerted them to a problem, and their need for a solution then became a priority.

There was nothing more to think about.

(The complexity of the medical world is irrelevant to the patient – what’s relevant is having finding someone from the medical world they can trust)

Your sales process needs to elevate your prospects’ need for “financial treatment” to the same level of priority.

Free meetings, consulting and elongated relationship-building, over a series of steps, will never do that.
