Bankers. If you're calling someone with a large balance and want to secure an advisor meeting - try using the following script: "The reason for the call is because I’m noticing a pretty large balance in your account, and if this is the type of balance relationship you plan to keep with us long term, I’d like to introduce you to someone who can talk with you about options if making more of a return on your money is a priority in your life right now." The person on the phone will then open up about how long the money will be in the account and if they'd care to do anything else with funds. If they care about putting the money to work and the time horizon is long enough - recommend the advisor meeting. A banker I'm coaching used the script today and was able to secure a couple of appointments during their call block. Last thing. You're likely to experience a few objections, regardless of approach. Here are a couple you want to have a response for. "I only invest in real estate" "I prefer to leave my money in cash" 2025 ✊ ----------------------- I'm on a mission to provide Free High-Quality Sales Coaching & Resources to Bankers who need it.
