Description

Most advisors chase leads with cold scripts and hope for referrals that never come. Derrick Kinney thinks differently—and built a wildly successful practice by connecting with pain, not pitching features.

In this episode, we break down the mindset and daily disciplines behind real growth:


  • The mid-meeting referral script that actually works
  • How to disarm cold leads with one simple phrase
  • The difference between 4% work and frantic activity
  • Why comfort and reason beat logic and features
  • LinkedIn visibility, branding, and the power of being memorable


Derrick also shares how handwritten notes, high-touch outreach, and personal discipline shaped his coaching philosophy—and why he believes memorable people make the most money.
