Bill Bachrach Speaking Topics
Speaking the Language of Trust
The participants will leave this session with more clarity about why trust is so crucial, what to do to move the needle on the "trust dial" in the right direction with existing clients and more rapidly establish trust with prospective clients, how to implement immediately in the real world, and inspiration to implement. The impact of deliberately building a high-trust client relationship is quickly evident by clients who are more willing to pay for financial planning and advice, more assets gathered, clients who implement the advisor's advice, and clients who are more inclined to refer.
Values-Based Financial Planningâ„¢
Do you have clients who do some of their business with you, but not all of it? Do you have clients who do transactions with you, but not comprehensive planning? Do you have clients who have some of their assets under your management, but have more money elsewhere...maybe a lot more? Do you have clients who follow some of your advice, but don't follow all of your advice? Do you have clients who know lots of people they could be referring you to, but they aren't? What would have to happen to shift these client relationships to a deeper level of trust so they do all of their business with you, bring all of their assets under your management, follow all of your advice, and introduce you to everybody they know who could possibly be an Ideal Client for you? What impact would having the skill to create this relationship shift have on your business? How much more money would you make? How much more time freedom would you have? And how would that impact your overall professional and personal satisfaction? In this session Bill will demonstrate the 5 conversations of the Financial Road Map® interview, the crux of Values-Based Financial Planning™. In about an hour, effectively implementing the Financial Road Map® interview shifts the relationships to a deeper level of trust that inspires new and existing clients to: hire you to create a financial plan (and pay for it; consolidate all of their assets and financial affairs with you; ignore "financial pornography"; act on your advice, and referrals.

For most keynote speakers, Advisors say, 'That was great, so who is next?' These are our best Advisors and overwhelmingly they wanted Bill back again this year. He definitely delivered another thought-provoking presentation with actionable ideas they can implement for even better results. Bill sent out pre-work for our Advisors to help them have an even greater experience and this on-line extra training exceeded my expectations. If you want to give your Advisors a great experience that they can use in today's world, you need to hire Bill.

Bill conducted another outstanding presentation for my Advisors and the ratings were very high, as I expected. He is 'spot on' with helping them be crystal clear about their value promise to clients and prospective clients. Their value promise and them delivering on that promise defines what they can charge clients and clients will gladly pay for that experience. Advisors who apply what Bill teaches will have no issues with CRM2 and can exponentially grow their business. We look forward to continuing our relationship as we move our Advisors to doing even more financial planning.
