Keynote Topics
THE ART AND SCIENCE OF CLOSING THE SALE
Few advisors have a well-thought-out and systematic approach to successfully close business. In this presentation we’ll explore the fine art of closing by examining the actual structure and the decisive steps you need to take to determine the appropriate moment to win the business.
You’ll learn the science of closing as well as communication techniques that produce results whether you’re talking with a client, prospect or a COI.
You’ll learn about the “Big 4 Communication Process” and the practical application of each. As you learn how to deal with objections – many of which you’ve probably heard over and over again – prospects will be comfortable engaging in an open exchange with you.
Using the skills taught, you’ll be able to reframe the way prospects relate to their own concerns or issues to aptly turn their “no” into a “maybe” and a “maybe” into a “yes.”
AUTHENTIC COMMUNICATION
Authentic Communication is all about learning the required skills for addressing these issues in a confident and professional manner.
You’ll learn proven strategies to uncover the conscious and unconscious motivations that drive a person’s decision-making and response process. In addition, you’ll learn how to overcome their objections and address their concerns.
This proven approach provides the tools to help you in your prospecting and networking efforts.
As you learn to communicate more powerfully, you’ll create bonds that lead to long-lasting and productive relationships.
TAKING BUSINESS FROM THE COMPETITION … ETHICALLY
In the current environment, many of your competitors are often complacent and acutely absent when it comes to client communication.
This creates a tremendous opportunity for you to get your foot in the door. Yet how can you ethically take a client from another advisor without somehow creating ill will or seeming desperate?
In this one-of-a-kind session, we’ll explore proven strategies for approaching clients of the competitor.
You’ll learn how to prudently engage the prospect in an ethical conversation about their current advisor/client relationship that will erode the position of the other advisor.
Using eight critical questions, you’ll uncover the things a prospect values and determine what they aren’t receiving from their current advisor.
Using a well-thought-out plan, you’ll soon have prospects casting aside their mediocre advisors in favor of you.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
