Finding The Perfect Niche with Financial Planner Richard Weatherburn
Category: Business
Duration: 01:28:13
Publish Date: 2021-04-29 10:00:00
Description:

This week’s guest on the Financial Planner Life Podcast is Richard Weatherburn from 313 Wealth Management. Richard is not your typical suited & booted financial planner. His down-to-earth, casual approach is a breath of fresh air to the financial profession and obviously appeals to his target audience. In his own words, he’s been able to niche down on the ‘grafter’ market. This includes barbers, bricklayers, plumbers & personal trainers. This has clearly worked as 313 Wealth Management have tripled their turnover in AUM (Assets Under Management) during lockdown. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did and take inspiration from Richard’s out-of-the-box thinking. 

We cover:  

  • Richard’s journey and how he got into the financial profession  
  • The role of social media in business development 
  • The power of word of mouth  
  • The importance of a long-term approach to business development versus short term wins 
  • Why financial planners should avoid pursuing the same type of client
