Kitces and Carl - Real Talk for Real Financial Advisors

In our third episode of "Kitces & Carl", Michael Kitces and financial advisor communication guru Carl Richards sit down to discuss the question of how important it is to be "likeable" as a financial advisor, why being your "authentic self" when it comes to communicating and interacting with clients might matter more, and why it's important for newer advisors to avoid sending mixed signals to clients when trying to differentiate themselves.

In our second episode of "Kitces & Carl", Michael Kitces and financial advisor communication guru Carl Richards sit down to discuss the question of establishing a price for your financial planning services, why many advisors feel such anxiety over setting (and sticking to) their pricing model, the ways in which advisors can communicate their value to prospects and clients to justify their price, and why, many times, problems around pricing are really the result of our own inward confidence problems.

Michael Kitces and financial advisor communication guru Carl Richards sit down to discuss industry topics from their own unique perspectives. And in this inaugural episode, Michael and Carl talk about the Value of Financial Advice, efforts to quantify that value, and why we may need to move past the asset-based model in order to define and communicate the real value of financial planning to our clients and the public in general.
