Attract More Clients. Make An Impact.
Who We Help
We help financial advisors attract and retain clients (and their assets) by differentiating themselves in today’s increasingly competitive and commoditized market.
Our clients understand that they need to build deeper, more resilient relationships. They know the key to long-term success is in becoming their clients’ “most trusted advisor” and retaining client assets over the long haul and through generational transitions.
The challenge is that many advisors have relationships that begin and end with the primary wealth creator. Most advisors excel in helping their clients gather, grow, protect, and sustain their financial resources. However, in well over 80% of the cases, when a client passes and the assets flow to a spouse or children, those assets end up being managed by someone else. Advisors can change this by engaging their clients and members of the family in deeper, more meaningful discussions around the meaning of wealth and family tradition. However, most advisors lack either the inclination or expertise needed to be comfortable facilitating these conversations.
How We Help
Our 3D Relationships programs help wealth advisors engage their clients in broader, deeper, multi-generational conversations centered on giving back and building family traditions.
We bring participants together and guide them as they clarify and articulate their philanthropic values, passions and vision. They then use that clarity to put a purposeful plan of action in place to honor those values and maximize the impact they can make in the community. We encourage participants to think differently about their wealth and the role philanthropy can play in helping to craft family traditions and legacy. Participants are introduced to the concept of purposeful philanthropy, and how an intentional, well thought out approach to giving can lead to greater impact. This is really the same concept behind working with a financial planner on a well thought out financial plan.
Outcomes We Deliver
By blending both financial and values-based discovery and planning techniques, advisors can help clients align their financial plans with their personal values and their desire to make a difference. Their clients enjoy an educational and thought provoking experience that brings generations together and inspires them as they build family traditions, find their unique philanthropic voices, and craft a lasting legacy. Advisors build more resilient long-term multi-generational relationships with their clients, while differentiating their brand in an increasingly competitive and commoditized market.
