    Buyer-First Selling—Ditch the Info-Dump
    Aug 14 2025
    If your pitch needs a decoder, you’re losing the sale 😵‍💫.

    On this episode of The Advisor, Lisa Urbanski sits down with solar-sales pro & coach Luke Jorgenson as he breaks down the worst bad sales tactics—overselling, jargon dumps, and talking past the buyer—and shows you how to win with simplicity, listening, and a clear framework.

    Keep it human, keep it short, keep it about the client. 🎯

    You’ll learn how to:

    🧹 Ditch the info-dump: Say less, mean more; clarity > complexity.
    👂 Listen > lecture: Pivot statements into smart questions and embrace silence.
    🤝 Stay client-focused: Lead with outcomes, not features; build trust fast.
    🧭 Use a framework: Apply Luke’s W Method / Smooth Selling to guide any convo.
    🪞 Be authentic: Stop “performing” sales; sell like yourself and close more.

    Press PLAY to turn talk into trust—and trust into closed deals—with a simple, client-first sales framework.

  • High-Net-Worth Defense—Shield Your Wealth

    High-Net-Worth Defense—Shield Your Wealth
    Aug 13 2025
    What if the smartest wealth move isn’t chasing returns, but protecting the risks that could erase them overnight?


    On this episode of The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi, Erin Botsford (Barron’s Top 100 advisor; founder of The Advisor Authority) reveals the paradigm shift that scaled her firm from $300K to multi-millions: safeguard the risk side of the balance sheet before you invest a dollar.

    Erin walks through real-world failures and fixes, plus the 26-point risk checklist every family should complete.

    You’ll learn how to:

    🛡️ Map Hidden Exposures: Titling, liability, umbrellas, entities (LLCs/trusts), “toys” (lake house/boat)
    🔁 Transfer vs. Assume Risk: Insurance & structures vs. habits and health
    ✅ Run the 26-Point Checklist: Finish risk work first, then allocate investments
    🏗️ Adopt the “Property Manager” Model: Advisors coordinate attorneys, CPAs, and insurance pros
    👪 Do a 360° Family Review: Parents, adult kids, in-laws... who are you morally/financially responsible for?
    🧭 Scale with Systems: Prospect the philosophy, then hand off to licensed service teams

    Press PLAY to secure the downside to scale the upside; be sure to protect the risk side today so you can invest with confidence tomorrow!
