You're competing against three advisors. The winner is the one who diagnoses, not pitches.
401k rollover prospects almost always interview 3-4 advisors. The three who lose are competing on fees, returns, or products. The one who wins runs a Layer-3 diagnostic on the outcome the prospect wants and the obstacle they quit their last advisor over. Same 30-minute meeting. Different architecture.
Every industry has its own specific failure modes. These are the ones that drain pipeline fastest in financial advisors.
The VIVID Selling Framework has seven layers. For financial advisors, these three do the most work.
The Outcome Question and Obstacle Question beat every fee-comparison pitch. Layer 3 wins rollover accounts.
