Four Principles of a Purpose-Centered Alliance
At the outset, I want to clearly define and describe four principles of a purpose-centered alliance. We will refer back to these many times throughout the book to provide richer insights and to show practical ways to build these relationships with clients. The four principles are:
-
A purpose-centered alliance is built on trust, not sales techniques.
Sales skills are valuable, but they are secondary to two traits that are absolutely essential in building trust in any relationship: character and competence. Your trustworthiness and your access to detailed knowledge of products are far more important than any sales technique.
-
The foundation of a purpose-centered alliance is your own clear, compelling sense of purpose.
As the old saying goes, “You can’t give away what you don’t possess.” Similarly, you probably won’t be able, or even be motivated, to uncover your clients’ dreams and purposes if your own are buried or vague.
-
The process of building a purpose-centered alliance requires a clear plan, a few skills to help you uncover clients’ dreams, and persistence in making those dreams come true.
As I have communicated these principles with others, the vast majority of them have said things like, “This is a breath of fresh air! This is what I got into financial services for in the first place! Thank you for bringing me back to what I do best: caring for people, building solid relationships with them, and helping them fulfill their dreams.” And one person told me, “This makes perfect sense. Why would we do it any other way?”
-
The benefit of building purpose-centered alliances is that people will trust you with their dreams and their assets.
It may seem like a paradox to some of us, but when we take our focus off our own desire to make a sale and put our focus on others’ dreams, we become more fulfilled because we actually help people. We are less stressed because we are simply doing what we do best, and as people trust us with more of their assets, we make more money, too.
When you start using these principles, you’ll say the same thing I did, “This is fantastic! Why didn’t I figure this out a long time ago?” . When these relationships are built, suspicions and jealousies melt away, and an alliance works beautifully. It’s rewarding to refer clients to other professionals we trust, and it’s fulfilling to hear clients call back to thank us for connecting them to another professional who met their specific need.
