Description

While many advisors seek client referrals, an intentional approach can lead to a steadier flow of leads. Today's guest breaks down how coaching clients on making introductions and small communication tweaks can turn satisfied clients into proactive advocates, driving steady, qualified opportunities week after week.

David Stevens is the President of Stevens Capital Partners, an RIA based in Omaha, Nebraska, managing $500 million in AUM for 475 households. Listen in as David shares how he's built a thriving referral engine—receiving 10 to 15 client introductions per week—by teaching clients how to make meaningful connections instead of simply "asking for referrals." You'll learn about the timing and phrasing he uses to normalize referrals during onboarding, how he uses text messaging in this process, and how his firm has adapted as it has added clients across a range of segments.
