"Professional contrast is created by either doing things that others can't, or doing similar things better." - Kevin Bishopp 

In the competitive world of financial advising, standing out is crucial. Many Financial Advisors struggle to differentiate themselves, leading to a crowded market where it's hard to shine. 

To create a strong professional contrast, focus on two strategies: innovate in ways others can't or excel in areas where others are simply adequate. This means either pioneering unique services or perfecting existing ones to offer unparalleled quality. 

Embrace AI and other cutting-edge tools to automate routine tasks and free up your time for what truly matters - building deeper client relationships  and providing exceptional service. By doing so, you not only enhance your value but also secure your place as a leader in the industry. 

For more on this and more about how Advisors can utilize AI to help elevate their business and their client experience listen to episode 61 of The Always On podcast. I have a meaningful conversation with Kevin Bishopp, Vice President and Performance Coach for the Advisor Consulting Group at First Trust, titled "AI Insights and Breakthroughs."
