  • Work in Progress

  • Prospecting Made Simple

    When you’re out and about, keep in mind: people are the heart of our business. Your goal isn’t to “sell” someone on the spot—it’s to spark curiosity, build connection, and open the door for a future conversation. Here’s a simple step-by-step process:

    1. Start with a Compliment

    Find something positive to acknowledge—a great attitude, excellent customer service, or even their style. Make it genuine and natural.

    2. Connect It Back to the Business

    Transition smoothly by relating the compliment to what we do. Example:

    “You’re really great with people. My husband and I run a financial business, and we’re always looking for sharp, motivated people to partner with.”

    3. Get Their Information

    Don’t overwhelm them with details. Simply say:

    “Why don’t I take down your name and number, and I’ll give you a quick call tomorrow to see if we might have a mutual interest?”

    4. If They Ask About the Business

    Keep your response short and confident:

    “We help families improve their overall financial situation. But let me ask you this—would you say you have good people skills?”

    (Wait for answer)

    “Any experience in management?”

    (Wait for answer)

    “Great, let’s set up a time to talk more and see if we have a mutual interest.”

    PRO TIPS ✨

    Professional Presence

    Always look the part. Present yourself as a business owner or someone recruiting for a highly successful organization. That means being well-dressed, confident, and approachable.

    Also, remember—prospect people who look like they’re going somewhere. The opportunity is for anyone who qualifies, but not everyone will qualify. Protect your time and energy.

    Most importantly: we hold the opportunity. The blessing lies in our hands.

  • Building Your Market Through Referrals

    Referrals are the fastest and most trusted way to grow your business. When someone introduces you to their friends, family, or coworkers, the trust they have in you carries over—making it easier to build strong relationships quickly.

    Why Referrals Work

    • Warm introductions create instant trust.

    • Every client can connect you to 2–3 more families.

    • Referrals don’t just create clients—they can also lead to new business partners.

    How to Ask

    • Make referrals part of every appointment.

    • Be specific: instead of “Do you know anyone?” ask “Who are 2–3 people you know that could benefit from this?”

    • Keep it simple by offering to connect through a group text, call, or social media.

    Remember: each referral is more than a name—it’s another family you can help and another potential leader to join your team.

    Examples:

    1. Asking Friends & Family (Warm Market)

    Script:

    “Hey [Name], I’m really excited—I’ve recently started working in financial services, helping families with things like protection, retirement planning, and investments. I’m looking for a few people who could benefit from a complimentary financial checkup. Who’s the first person that comes to mind that I should reach out to? It could be a friend, a coworker, or even someone at your church.”

    Notes for agents:

    • Keep it casual, not salesy.

    • Emphasize that it’s complimentary and educational.

    • If they hesitate: “That’s totally fine—who do you know that’s family-oriented or open to learning about money?”

    2. At the End of a Client Appointment

    Script:

    “I’m glad we were able to go over this together today. I have a quick favor to ask—you probably know a few people, friends or family, who could benefit from the same information we just covered. Who do you know that I should reach out to? Usually my clients think of 2 or 3 people right away.”

    Follow-up Prompt:

    • If they pause: “Maybe someone who’s recently gotten married, had a baby, bought a house, or is thinking about retirement?”

    • After they give you a name: “Perfect. Would you feel comfortable sending a quick group text to introduce us?”

    3. Everyday/General Referral Mindset

    Script (Networking Style):

    “I love what I do because it’s all about helping families get on the right financial track. If you ever come across someone talking about life insurance, debt, or retirement, would you mind pointing them my way? I’ll take great care of them.”

    Notes for agents:

    • This keeps the door open without pressure.

    • It works in casual conversations, at church, school events, or even in social media DMs.

  • Prospecting for Seminars

    One of the best ways to expand your reach is by hosting seminars in places where families, professionals, and community members already gather. Schools, churches, businesses, and local organizations are always looking for valuable resources for their people—our financial education seminars provide just that.

    Why Organizations Say Yes

    • Schools want parents and staff to understand how to plan for college and manage money.

    • Churches want their members to be good stewards of their finances.

    • Businesses want employees to reduce financial stress so they’re more productive at work.

    • Community groups want to offer helpful, relevant education to their members.

    How to Prospect

    1. Make a List. Write down schools, churches, local businesses, and organizations in your area.

    2. Find the Decision Maker. Call or stop by and ask: “Who organizes workshops or events for your staff/members?”

    3. Offer Value First. Position it as a free, no-obligation workshop that helps families with budgeting, debt elimination, retirement, and college savings.

    4. Keep It Simple. Say: “We run short educational sessions that show families how to get ahead financially. It’s complimentary, and our goal is to serve the community.”

    5. Follow Up. Once you get interest, confirm a date, prepare your presentation, and make sure to invite attendees to schedule one-on-one sessions afterward.

    Keys to Success

    • Always lead with education and community impact, not sales.

    • Be professional—look the part, bring flyers, and be clear about the value.

    • Every seminar is an opportunity to book multiple appointments and find potential partners.

    When you prospect for seminars, you’re not just booking a presentation—you’re opening doors to dozens of families and leaders who could become lifelong clients or teammates.

  • We make building your team simple.
    No need to feel pressure or overthink — just share the flyers provided on your Instagram or Facebook story. This creates curiosity and attracts people who are interested in working alongside you. Let the system do the heavy lifting — you’ll be surprised how many reach out ready to learn more.

    For the second flyer make sure you ask Chat GPT to change the contact info on this flyer for you so it can be personalized.
