What does it actually look like to build a fast-growing advisory firm without sacrificing the depth of your client relationships? In this episode, I’m sitting down with financial advisor Emily…
Emily RassamGuestLibby GreiweHostwhat if the secret to scaling your advisory practice isn't serving clients less it's actually getting ridiculously clear about how you serve them and what if better workflows could actually make your client experience feel more personal not less.
So today we are getting a serious look under the hood of an advisory firm that is doing exactly that.
I am sitting down with Emily Rassam, a self-proclaimed workflow queen who has built a thriving practice serving roughly 270 families with a seven person team.
And what I love about this conversation is how intentional they are about everything.
We're talking about how they use behavioral finance to screen for the right clients and create deeper conversations, how they structure and name every meeting inside of their client journey, how they personalize service without creating a million different service tiers, and how Emily has delegated so much of the prep and follow-up work that at one point she, of course, like all of us thought that only she was capable of doing.
If you're trying to figure out how to create an incredible client experience and build a business that can actually scale, you are going to love this episode.
If you're a financial advisor who wants a practice that runs without you working 60 hours a week, who wants energy left over for the people you love, you are in the right place.
I built and sold a seven-figure, 100% referral-only planning practice as a solo advisor, all while working just three days a week and taking off 14 full weeks a year so that I could be an awesome mom, a wife, a friend, and a travel-obsessed human.
On this show, I share the exact systems processes and tiny tweaks to help you scale, get organized and dramatically reduce stress and overwhelm in your business.
