Why I Think The Golden Age Of Advisor Ma...

James Pollard
About this episode

Most financial advisors are in for a rude awakening that's coming sooner rather than later. 

The golden age of advisor marketing is ending. 

Once it ends? 

Generalist advisors will struggle, and any advisor who has been floating on the high of a good market since 2017 will be scrambling to pay their bills and keep their business alive. 

I don't say this to scare you but to prepare you: 

Today's show takes you through my step-by-step plan for preparing for the end of the golden age of advisor marketing. Either you'll do everything I recommend in this episode and watch your business dominate… Or you'll put this off until you wake up one day to bury your business in the dirt for good. 

It's your choice: 

Listen now. 

Show highlights include:

  • 5 reasons why the golden age of advisor marketing is ending (and how to protect your business and legacy before the steep decline) (1:38)  
  • The basic supply and demand explanation behind why the RIA industry is nearing collapse (2:50) 
  • Why SEO is the absolute worst marketing strategy to prioritize in 2025 (in fact, SEO may never be a viable strategy again) (3:24) 
  • 4 non-negotiables your financial advice business must have before the golden age of advisor marketing ends (missing any one of the four non-negotiables is like buying a headstone for your business) (8:16) 
  • The 4 step plan to prepare your financial advice business to not only survive the death of the golden age of advisor marketing, but thrive through it too (9:07) 
  • Why generalist advisors will die a slow death if they don't pivot quickly - and the only question you have to answer to build a wildly profitable niche (9:21)
