Taking an Intentional Approach to Niche Marketing

In this clip, Rob Brown and Duncan discuss the importance of taking an intentional approach to niche marketing. Rob shares how one of his clients discovered a niche he was truly passionate about"Women Facing New Beginnings"by digging deep into common themes among his clients. They talk about the process of finding a niche by looking at credibility, commonality, and affinity. It's not about forcing a niche or making it up, but rather uncovering where you already have momentum and where you feel a genuine connection to the group you serve. This is how to build a niche with purpose and impact.

Stop Calling Them COIs

In this clip, Duncan MacPherson delves into the significance of language in building relationships with strategic partners. He argues that advisors often use terms like "COIs" (centers of influence), but believes it's more than just semantics. These relationships should focus on adding value to clients, not merely acquiring referrals. Duncan explains why he prefers to call them "strategic partners" within a value-added support team and how this shift in mindset can enhance the client experience. Along with Rob, he also discusses the importance of adhering to one's process and resisting the temptation to deviate from the strategies that have made a business successful.
