ANECDOTE

Firing A Big Easy Client To Gain Focus

  • Kendra fired her biggest, easiest client after realizing they were unprofitable and distracting, which helped her focus on RIAs and master her craft.
  • That painful decision shifted her agency from generalist work (including taco marketing) to advisor specialization.
ADVICE

Choose Channels Aligned To Your Strengths

  • Choose marketing channels that match your strengths (writing, speaking, video, relationships) and double down rather than diversifying thinly.
  • Pick channels you enjoy so you persist long enough to iterate and improve.
INSIGHT

No Single Best Channel Just Consistency And Fit

  • Empirically, nearly every channel can work for advisors; success correlates with sticking to what you enjoy and iterating long enough.
  • Channel ROI distributions vary, but consistent effort and fit matter more than a single 'best' platform.
