Are you ready to stop being the best-kept secret?

In this special replay episode of the Top Advisor Marketing Podcast, Matt Halloran and Kirk Lowe share how financial advisors can accelerate their influence – which they define as the ability to get people to like, know, and trust you – in order to grow your business and spend less time chasing prospects and more time doing what you do best: advising. 

They discuss the four stages of influence — Apprentice, Expert, Authority, and Celebrity — and the importance of moving beyond ‘expert’ status to achieve authority or even celebrity levels of influence. 

Whether you’re aiming for authority or celebrity status in your niche, this episode will give you actionable insights on how to build a marketing system that drives real growth over time.

Matt and Kirk discuss:

• 
  
• Why your ultimate goal is to build an audience that knows, likes, trusts, and even promotes your advisor services
  
• How influence is a system, not a secret
  
• Why you need to be actively involved in their marketing
  
• The importance of investing in consistent content creation – like podcasts – to build credibility and refine your communication skills
  
• The minimum you should be investing in your marketing efforts
  
• And more

About Our Guest:

After decades spent helping build and market successful financial services brands, Kirk recognized the increasing role and importance of influence in the rapidly expanding Expertise Economy. Successful financial advisors harnessing the power of podcasting, video, social media and progressively building their influence were attracting clients rather than having to chase them.

Kirk’s ‘ah-ha’ moment—that influence is essential for professional experts—led to his co-founding of ProudMouth, an influence accelerator dedicated entirely to liberating financial experts and advisors from the tyranny of sales by giving them the means and methods to become recognized, in-demand authorities.
