Ep 97: The Key To Getting Your Message Across with Evan Beach

January 11, 2023 - Matt Reiner

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Evan Beach, CFP® and Director of Wealth Advisory at Campbell Wealth Management, where he is responsible for new client financial planning and existing client education.

Evan shares how and why he began drawing pictures to get his desired message across and how it has shaped his unique process for helping others. We dive into the message behind his article on the psychology and science of persuasion, the perception of scarcity surrounding advisors, and how other financial advisors can use this to gain clients. We also talk about learning how to attach value to limiting your calendar and being intentional with your time and your business.
