Financial Advisor Marketing Strategy
This financial advisor marketing strategy is all about the art of communication. As you know, you have many opportunities to speak to a prospective client – whether you are giving a lecture/seminar, or you meet someone out at a party, a restaurant, etc., the circumstances really do not matter, there are things you should say and not say in order to express your value.
Try to eliminate yourself from the conversation and make it all about them. Avoid saying “I” if at all possible. Avoid talking about the specifics of the services you perform or provide. Instead, focus on the value that the prospective client wills obtain/enjoy/receive as a result of using your products or services. This is a really important point.

What your prospective client really wants and needs to hear from you is, “By coming to my business, here is the value you will receive as a result of using me, my products, or my services.”
In other words, it’s all about the value of what you offer and not necessarily the specifics of your products and services.
This is “strategic conversation” that will generate fantastic traction with your financial advisor leads. And, you will be able to stimulate perfect word-of-mouth as this prospect will take what you say to them out to people they care about and deliver a perfect message about why they should use you over anyone else.
Catering Service Business
You may begin your own catering service business, which can be financially rewarding and enjoyable. You may do this business in a full or part time basis because events that you may cater may vary from the service they will get from you. In this kind of business, opportunities are very great and there are a lot more benefits that you may not expect.

It is a requirement for a catering business to have a license to operate like those permits that are issued to food establishments that have also catering services as well. Catering services are inspected by the Board of Health to see if they have the right materials and the capacity to prepare and handle food that is safe to the public.
You may get your license at the local Health Department. You have to apply first before you obtain the permit to operate a business catering service. An inspection will be needed to check if you will pass the food sanitation requirements. After you have acquired your license, there will be regular check-up routines to ensure that you will sustain cleanliness and sanitation of your catering service.
There are states that require a catering service must have a separate area for the food operation and the kitchen facility of the house. This is important because they will not issue a license if you have a set up wherein they may see food sanitation is not your priority. If you want to remodel the set up, you must pass the plans and remodeled features to the Health Department for confirmation that you are following the required construction to your home facilities and to your food operation area.
It is important to target your market in this business if you are given the permit to operate already. Know your competition and be aware of their strengths and weaknesses. If you are stable with your finances, you may hire applicants that are experienced in this kind of business.
