How to Build "The Perfect Practice"

In this insightful presentation, Richard will share the tips, tools and techniques today's advisors need to build their prefect practice. Most advisors know how to sell. Many know how to market. But few know the steps needed to build that "perfect practice," one that runs on auto-pilot, grinding out profit month after month. It is not as hard as it may sound. That is - if you have the right knowledge, the right tools, and the right plan to build it.

Richard's "How to Build The Prefect Practice" presentation will help put each component needed to build your perfect practice into perspective:

• The tips, tools, and techniques to build your practice
• How much of your gross should be spent on overhead
• What should you net from your practice
• Running a great practice VS it running you

If You Believe It - You Can Achieve It

Ask a successful person why they are successful and many will tell you that they deserve to be successful. This is not a bragging statement, but instead an insight to their strong belief. Their belief may be rooted in the fact that they have worked hard for their success. It may be a belief that their success is a direct result of the help they have given to others. In any case, the key is that they believe.

Master storyteller and speaker Richard Parker knows from experience that you can accomplish anything you truly believe in. He has lived it. He believed he could succeed in the financial services industry twenty years ago; and built a million-dollar practice. He believed he could build a sales organization; and built a two-million dollar branch office before founding a national broker dealer.

Today, thousands of advisors believe in his ability to build one of America's largest training and seminar companies. In this commanding motivational keynote speech, Richard will weave a verbal tapestry of possibility, thinking, and belief within your organization. In this presentation, Richard will explain in a simple yet entertaining manner the following topics:

• Believing in your dream; the first step in success.
• Conceiving it and believing it leads to achieving it.
• Focusing your abilities on your goals; burning your ships to insure success.
• Learning what is really important in life; before it is too late.
• Is the glass half full or half empty? The choice is yours.
• Cultivating a positive mental attitude; this is easier than you think.
• Taking calculated risks; a trait of successful people.
• Dogged determination or just pure stubbornness; there is a difference.

The Progressive Sale

It makes little difference how many qualified prospects you successfully bring to your seminar or prospecting event if you do not covert them into clients. After all, we are not in the business of conducting seminars; we are in the business of conducting business. In this powerful practice-changing presentation, Richard will share the unique step-by-step Sales Progression he developed and tested for almost two decades as an "in the trenches" top producer. This Sales Progression approach gave him a 92% closing ratio, while he built a million-dollar book of business, a two-million dollar branch, a nationwide broker dealer and now one of the largest training and seminar companies in America.

As Richard explains it in his insightful yet humorous manner; "Most financial professionals are knowledgeable enough of the products and services they offer, but many make the same simple mistake. They get the sales progression out of order."

Just as an elevator can not skip the 3rd floor on its way to the top of the building, the sales professional must also progress their prospect through several steps on the way to the close. If you get one of these important steps out of sequence, or do not complete the objectives of that step before progressing to the next, your prospect will not make the logical decision at the end of the Sales Progression; a decision to buy the products and services which you recommend.

Leadership in the Financial Services Industry

"He's a born leader!" Well maybe, and then again maybe not. While that short five-word statement has a nice ring to it, few parents are presented with a seven-pound eight-ounce baby leader when their little bundle of joy is born. Leadership is learned; and it can be learned by those in your organization too.

Richard will share with your organization a wide range of leadership tips, tools and techniques including the following:

• Leading your way to success.
• How to succeed by helping others get what they want.
• The traits of a successful leader.
• The different styles of leadership; which is right for you?
• Taking ownership in your leadership decisions.
• Building a team that is destined for greatness.
• Teaching your leadership skills to your team.
• What to do when it all goes wrong.
• The difference between dreams and goals.
• How to get your team to buy in to your goals.
• Defining your purpose.
• Focusing your God-given ability to the task at hand.
• Discovering the leader inside.

If you desire to build an assembly of leaders within your organization, you need only look as far as master speaker/trainer Richard Parker. Your conference, convention or training event will come alive with the excitement and insight delivered by Richard in his "Leadership in the Financial Services Industry" presentation.

Turning Your Practice into an Income Vending Machine

Most advisors can sell when they get in front of a qualified prospect. Usually the problem is finding enough prospects to consistently keep the advisor busy. How about producing a line of qualified prospects that stretches out the door and down the street, all waiting to see your advisors?

Getting an abundance of qualified prospects has little to do with salesmanship and everything to do with marketing. Advisors are typically good salespeople and poor marketers -- but this can be changed. The secret to achieving this change is rooted in having a simple, understandable and duplicatable marketing system.

In this high-powered presentation, Richard will show your advisors how to turn their marketing program into a vending machine. Put in a quarter; get out a dollar. If your advisors build this type of marketing program, both they and your organization will have steady, predictable income for an indefinite period of time. When the advisor begins to run out of prospects, they simply drop a quarter into their vending machine.

• Before you spend $1, know how you expect it to produce
• How much of what you make should you bank
• Scheduling your year VS scheduling a prospecting event
• Filling one prospecting event through a previous event

All this and much more will be covered in Richard's witty and power-packed presentation. If you want your sales force fired-up and ready to supercharge to their marketing system, then you are headed in the right direction by bringing Richard Parker to your event.

Team Building

No man is an island. Those words were never truer than when applied to a financial advisor building their perfect practice. While we all excel in some areas, in others we are less than perfect, and everyone needs help sometimes. In business, this is where the team comes in. Teams bring a palette of talents to the table, but there is a great deal of difference between a group of people and a team. Teams work together; teams understand each other; teams become a singe unit focused on success, on reaching a common well-defined goal. And teams don't just happen -- they are not born, they are built.

This presentation is about building that efficient, well-oiled machine; building your success team. There are few in the financial services industry that are more well-suited to edify these team-building steps than Richard Parker. Over his twenty-year career, he has leveraged a number of strong teams to build a million-dollar practice, a two-million dollar branch, a publicly traded broker dealer, and one of the largest training and seminar companies in the United States. Richard's team-building experience is not just theory. It has been learned "in the trenches" where it really counts.

Richard wil cover:

• Keeping the team functioning at peak capacity
• How to determine which jobs are best assigned to your team members.
• Team communications; the lifeblood to success.
• The steps to build your team goal.
• How to attract, hire, fire and compensate team members.
