On this week's episode of The Connected Advisor, I speak with Terry Parham Jr, Co-Founder, Wealth Advisor, CFO, and CCO at Innovative Wealth Building. Terry joined the financial services industry in 2011 and has held positions as a Financial Planner, Corporate Trainer, and District Manager.

Terry shares his strategy, which combines confidence and competence to generate consistent client introductions. We also explore how technology transforms client engagement, onboarding, and financial planning.
Key Takeaways

Asking for referrals in a way that aligns with your personality increases effectiveness.
Creating a streamlined process makes it easy for clients to introduce new prospects.
Leveraging technology enhances efficiency, from onboarding to financial health assessments.

— Terry Parham Jr
"By getting referrals from your new clients and then getting referrals from those new clients, you have an unlimited stream of people you can help if you just systematize the process and follow the process."
