Pareto Sytems
An ongoing series with Pareto Systems and Duncan MacPherson. At the airport, in an Uber, or where ever he might be, Duncan will deliver timely and action insights from his daily consultations, meetings and events. This podcast has been re-named to 'Pareto Systems: From-the-Field' and was formerly 'Duncan MacPherson - From the Field'. Video versions of these videos are available on the Pareto Systems YouTube Channel.
I have to say with all sincerity, the best thing to ever happen to me is that nothing, and I mean nothing came easily. I don't know about you, but this time of year, I spent a fair amount of time contemplating what I'm grateful for. My terrific wife and fantastic kids instantly come to mind, of course, but when it comes to my own personal and professional development, the best thing to ever happen to me was that success was hard.
Marketing is what you say, branding is what they hear. Join Duncan in this episode of the Blue Square Series as he discusses how your value is more often bought than sold and how branding ultimately impacts someone's ability to come to their own conclusions about the alignment between what you provide and what it is they want.
We work our Blue Square clients to help them turn the current market volatility into refer-ability. See if you are a fit for Blue Square: https://www.paretosystems.com/blue-square.html

How do you help your clients communicate your value to others so that you actually receive qualified referrals? Hint: It's not by communicating your minimum asset level.
Focus on 'what could be' rather than dwell on 'what could have been.'
In this episode, Duncan discusses how, during times of turbulence and volatility, the art and science of being a Financial Advisor is revealed as this isn't just about wealth management, it's more about relationship management.
Attention advisors! It's time to re-introduce yourself to your favorite clients so they understand and appreciate your value completely!
Duncan joins Matt Halloran on the Top Advisor Marketing Podcast. Join them as they discuss several ways to rejuvenate your client relationship and reinforce your value proposition through rebranded meetings and proven marketing strategies for today's advisors. You will learn:
How to use strategic, agenda-driven meetings to elevate the client experience What outcome advisors are seeing from rebranded client meetings The difference between stewardship and salesmanship Why elite financial professionals choose to outsource 4 3 essential keys to making a video that clients will love and remember 5 How to develop a process-driven approach to attract more clients And more!
Listen now to learn how to rebrand your meetings so you can stay top-of-mind with your ideal clients and highly referable!
The best in any field of endeavor are masters at identifying and responding to unexpected situations. Being nimble means you can pivot on a dime and take action. Take, for example, the kids of your best clients. Those in the 12th grade have had their graduation plans upended. No gowns, no prom, no ceremony. How about those in college or university? Final exams written at home with anticlimactic fanfare. Why not send those kids a beautiful card to pay tribute to their accomplishment? And life goes on. Birthdays, anniversaries and other milestones and life events have been celebrated virtually recently. Why not respond tangibly with a beautiful Lavish Card. You can also consider sending a copy of The Richest Man in Babylon - a great book for young adults embarking on a road to financial independence. Either way, while others watch things happen, be the one who makes things happen. Strengthening a relationship with a family can be achieved by bringing value to the next generation. And you also get to dig your well before you're thirsty.

A very enlightened lady said to me, "I've got a book, not a business. That's why I'm working so hard with you." Because she wants to build something.
