If you’ve ever wondered why some advisors land their messages every time and consistently get better results than their peers, it’s due to this: They have refined their ability to listen for what their clients, prospects, staff members and strategic partners want. They have internalized this vital skill – it’s second nature to them.It’s second nature to Mark Magnacca. Mark is a professional motivator, consultant and speaker who develops training programs and presentations for the financial services industry. A few years back, I heard him deliver his speech, The Product is You!, based on his first book by the same name, at a conference. Mark’s enthusiasm was contagious as he shared key concepts from his Results Accelerator Program, including how to develop, internalize and use a well-crafted positioning statement.
In January 2009, Mark sent me a copy of the manuscript for his second book, So What? How to Communicate What Really Matters to Your Audience. This book is a terrific resource for financial advisors.
In a subsequent conversation, I asked Mark to tell me about his motivations for writing the book and to give me his current thinking on surviving and thriving in tough times.
