From a potential client’s very first exposure to our advisory firm, whether that is through a direct referral or having attended one of our financial education seminars, I want them to know about our values-based philosophy in working with clients. The take-home materials our seminar participants receive include my biography and background, an outline of my principles and beliefs, and a mention of my membership in The National Ethics Association. I review these materials with clients at our initial meeting.
I believe that a foundation in humanistic principles is critical to our advisory firm’s success and can help define clients’ interactions with our firm. Values in life are vital to providing a “compass” and “markers” on the journey toward achieving goals. I think our values become the “why” behind everything we do—it’s our motivation.
Foundational values play a fundamental role at home, at work, and in leaving a valuable legacy to our family and communities. Some of our values are to love and respect people unconditionally; the Golden Rule (treat others the way you want to be treated); planting and reaping wisely; protecting and enhancing one’s reputation; and four cornerstone values I believe in—faith, family, friends, and, yes, finances. We conduct our practice with honesty and integrity. I think these factors have helped contribute to an open and friendly atmosphere that enables clients to enjoy the process of their financial assessment and building investment plans that will have a positive impact on their lives.
Ultimately, our business success is a reflection of striving to do all things with excellence; exceeding client expectations beyond the ordinary standard in our profession; and building lifetime, multi-generational relationships with our clients. We also work hard to provide services and programs to clients that help build a personalized relationship with our advisory firm and keep them involved in an ongoing loop of providing feedback on what we are doing right and where we might improve.
- Be transparent about the value you provide and how those values define the “why” behind everything you do.
- Success for an advisory firm is a reflection of striving to do all things with excellence; exceeding client expectations; and building lifetime, multi-generational relationships with clients.
