5 Content Examples That Help Financial Professionals Deepen Emotional Connections With Clients
Many financial advisors and other wealth professionals believe they need to write exclusively about money matters in order to exhibit financial expertise, build trust and attract wealthy clients.
I disagree.
In fact, if money-related content conversations are the only ones you’re having with prospects, you’re missing out on topics that tug at your prospects’ personal aspirations beyond financial well-being.
Certainly, writing about financial issues makes sense given your expertise. However, restricting your marketing content solely to financial subject matters builds an intangible wall between you and your prospects. On one side is your financial knowledge, the key reason why an investor needs your services. However, on the other side are your prospects’ personal and oftentimes private aspirations.
When you blend your expertise with a prospect’s desire within your marketing communications, the individual will be more drawn to you because you’re addressing the very thing that drives them or keeps them awake at night. This creates a feeling of mutual understanding, which translates into a deeper connection.

Let me explain…
It’s professional to write about such things as: Are Your Alternative Investments Actually Improving Risk-Return OR Impact of Social Security on Spouses, and so on.
However, keep in mind that if individuals truly possess wealth, their minds are free to go beyond money matters. Whereas, those who have very little assets think about money all the time.
Don’t get me wrong.
Wealthy people want and need to know about estate and trust planning, tax-deferred strategies, business succession planning, and so on. Your competitors know this as well. However, they’re falling short in building conversations that appeal emotionally to their prospects, creating an opportunity for you to differentiate your financial practice.
