Ep. #37 - Strategies for Attracting Affluent Women Clients with Adri Miller-Heckmann
How are YOU doing when it comes to attracting and working with affluent women?
At this moment in time, women control one third of total U.S. household financial assets - representing more than 10 trillion dollars. By 2030, women in the U.S. are projected to control much of the $30 trillion in financial assets that baby boomers will possess.
Women are also the largest beneficiaries of the current transfer of wealth. Since women are living an average of five years longer than men, 90% of all women will be managing their own finances during the final years of their life.
Marketing to affluent women is the most lucrative demographic since the onset of the baby boomers!
In this episode, Referral Coach Bill Cates interviews Adri Miller-Heckmann, Founder of FemXAdvisor, about how advisors can make just a few adjustments in their practices to attract more affluent women clients.

More time on the golf course, boating, fishing, cooking, traveling, and whatever the heck you feel like doing? And what if you could build a successful referral-only practice tapping into a goldmine of referrals from certain types...

Do not do the business with this idiot he’s a scammer and lier. His contract in the small letters says any promises that he made up to that point does not matter… He has dirty lawyers to support him with that! Collected my money and never provided the service. Refused to refund!
nice
Excelent... Many Thanks...Best Regards from Portugal
Great info. Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting! ~ BILL
"If you ever introduce me to anyone, I would like to show you how I would handle that....". Brilliant. It solves several problems. Lots of gold here, but that really stood out to me. Thanks.
When how you handle referrals/introductions is an unknown, it can be a perceived risk. Remove the risk by letting folks know your primary goal is to make the process comfortable.
The two biggest names in referral selling. Just bought the new book. Can't wait to read it.
Thank you!!!! If you like the book, I'd be grateful for a review on Amazon. And let me know your questions and successes. ~ BILL
@@BillCatesReferralCoach I'll be happy to.
Thank you!!! @@claudes.whitacre1241
Outstanding material.
Thank you!!!
Awesome
I néed referrals
Solid, solid advice on how to get introduced by E-mail.
Good vid, thanks!
Thanks, Doug. What industry/profession are you in?
Thank you for this content.
You're very welcome! ~ BILL
How to reward referrals in my massage business? Mostly word of mouth. Business slowed down, so I’m relooking at how to be referrable. Love the lesson client engagement for new clients. Thanks! PS: first question still stands
#1 - If a client provides you with an unsolicited referrals, give them a hand-written thank-you card with maybe a gift card to an appropriate store nearby or something modest that is tailored to their interests. #2 - If you are being more proactive and asking your clients to tell others, you can offer a discount on the first massage for the new client and the same discount for the referring client. It could be something other than a discount; perhaps something related to massage, wellness, etc. Make sense? ~ BILL
@@BillCatesReferralCoach Yes, just what I needed to hear. I can implement both right away. Thank you!
I’ve done both in the past, but Willy Nilly. This confirms that what I was doing was correct. Now I have confidence to do those things consistently
Bill, just bought Radical Relevance and signed up for Toolkit. Where in your offerings would I find out more about the Onboarding Process? Thanks!
@@robertsherman6296 The only extensive content I have on this topic is geared toward financial professionals. With that said, I think you can still glean the principles and some ideas you can translate to your world. To this end, I recommend you visit my podcast (it's free) and listen to Episodes 5 and 16. www.TopAdvisorPodcast.com
Beautiful case study. Thanks for posting.
You bet, Claude. Thanks for the nice comment. ~ BILL
Love the training. Thanks.
Thanks, Claude. If you haven't already visited our resources page, we have a bunch of free tools, guides, checklists, etc. Go to: www.ReferralCoach.com/resources Free but VALUABLE! 😀
hey please assist most of my clients says its against the law to give out someone's number
I suppose that might be true in some countries. Personally, I like to get introduced with an email handshake - and in-person is always great if you can make it happen.
Hey Bill, regarding your programs on your site, are they geared only towards financial advisors? Or real estate agents as well? I understand many principles may be similar and apply, however would it make sense for me to go through your individual self paced course as a real estate agent? Looking forward to your response
Hi bill, just found your amazing channel.it’s amazing. I am a new advisor. Can you please recommend some books please.?
Thank you! I just replied to your other message with some book ideas. ALSO - Free resources here: www.ReferralCoach.com/resources
Hi Bill, can you recommend some books for new insurance advisors.?
My books "Get More Referrals Now" and "Beyond Referrals." Also, "Story Telling for Financial Advisors" and "Questions Great Financial Advisors Ask."
@@BillCatesReferralCoach Thank you Bill. Thank you for the support.
Thank you for your content here.
You're very welcome!
Do you have a template for asking for a referral in a written letter?
I do not have a script for this, because asking for referrals in a letter rarely works. In person is the absolute best way. Zoom is second. Phone would be third. You can ask in an email IF you know the person well and you have a very specific person to whom you'd like to be introduced. Of course, there are always outliers to this, but they are rare.
Excellent advice Bill. Thank you very much for creating the video. I appreciate it!
Thank you, Santos. Glad you found it helpful.
Interestingly your post. Thank you for that. What happens if your costumer say that he will do it, but never send your referral. How to get that with out problems?
Hi I need more referrals please help me out:)
What business are you in?
I work from home but I need referrals help me out please or tell me what I must do to earn them

Thank you, it's a good insight on referrals. I will like to watch more of this video
Thanks, Nancy. If you subscribe to my channel, you'll be notified when I add more videos. BILL
Thank you! Powerful techniques on "How to Ask for Referrals".
Thanks, Brenda. Much appreciated! BILL
Hello Bill! Hear your ideas and strategies in ERT academy. I love it! What you think the first step to follow your advice to my practice?
The most important strategy in our system is the Value Discussion - checking in for value received and expectations being met and/or exeeded. We have a lot of free resources for you here: www.ReferralCoach.com/resources. Stay in touch with me on LinkedIn. BILL
Great video! I’m contemplating using your VIP training however most but not all of my referrals/introductions are coming from young advisors who are introducing me to my non-ideal prospects. I want them to succeed but it’s derailing my productivity this year. Does your training have suggestions for this type of situation?
Gary - That's the sort of question that we could address during a coaching session. There is no specific video for this in the program, but I'm sure we could bet you some "relief" by talking it through.
Bill does your program/passion imply that referrals and introductions are 'all I need' vs. the website, FB, youtube collection of letting strangers get to know, like and trust me? Thank you for the comment. Credible impact on this presentation.
Peter - the more you work through really effective introductions, the less important the other things you mentioned become, but even if you run a 100% referrals business (which many people do), having a credible website and LinkedIn profile are important. For example, I coach folks how to make sure their messaging is congruent and impactful across all those platforms. Depending on the business, however, much of the social media that people engage in isn't necessary.
@@BillCatesReferralCoach Thanks. And presumably radio ads and other cold call outreaches are 'referral avoidance behaviours', in your thinking?
@@peterfraser2401 Probably. The first thing to think about is: How do your ideal clients want to meet you? What is their preferred method? Then that should be your main focus. You can use other ways to promote your business, but don't spend much money or effort without testing the viability. Proof of concept!
meh
Meh? You didn't like it? Tell me more. BILL

Thank you
You're welcome!
Just an advertisement, no content.
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you not believe in asking high-value questions?
"...beautiful Buffalo, his words, not mine." Made me laugh out loud. Good one, Bill.
Thanks, Steven! Good to hear from you.
I sell cars and have been for about 2 years I’ve worked at 4 dealerships so far and I got to say I’ve only really had 3 or 4 referrals. Not very good. I get told all the time how happy they are and how awesome I was. I got to be honest I just don’t have a system installed yet.
Travis - Sometimes your buyers may not know anyone to introduce you to at the moment of their purchase. Make sure you stay in touch with them in small ways over time so they remember your name and keep you in mind.
That’s very achievable, thank you.
Yes - it is! Great to hear from you.
One of the best! Keep up the amazing work, Bill.
Great information, I will use it today.
I like the way Bill breaks down complex practices into simple steps. His concepts are always very actionable. I recommend him to all my clients!
I made the choice to hire Bill as my personal business coach last year and I am so glad that I did. He's a tremendous resource!
Hi! Do you do mentoring? Or coaching accountability?
Yes, I do. Feel free to send an email to me and we can start a conversation. BILL BillCates@ReferralCoach.com
Love the content, however the connection keeps dropping.
I double checked the video and it played okay on my end. If the connection keeps dropping, that sounds like it would be the internet connection on your end. Are you on a wired or wireless connection? It's a large file, so maybe just give it some time to download more fully? Hope that helps. BILL
