Today I was in San Antonio speaking to a group of super talented wholesalers.
The speaker before me was the national sales manager of a mid-size third party marketer. As a COI he was invited to give his perspective to the team. (note: in the Winter edition of I Carry The Bag we ran a story in which we interviewed COIs)
In his presentation he was focusing on the best practices of wholesalers that call on his firm and the areas that are in need of improvement.
His message?
Don’t ignore the producers in the middle of the sales pack.
It’s what Wholesaler Masterminds calls the ‘Movable Middle’.
Many wholesalers focus on 2 distinct groups: the folks at the top of the sales charts (because everyone wants to bag an elephant) and those producers that are newer to the firm (in an effort to build allegiances with new arrivals).
Yet this manager stressed the importance of also focusing on that broad swath of advisors that are firmly placed in the middle.
And we think he is right.
After all, somewhere is the middle is the next elephant. And doesn’t it make sense to have them as a raving fan of you and your firm now, before they blow up, grow tusks and are then impossible to schedule time with?
