Turning a Skeptic into a Client: Overcoming Financial Adviser Resentment

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of PROpulsion LIVE, we talk about one of the hardest — and most human — challenges in financial planning: earning the trust of a client who’s had a bad experience with a previous adviser.

From scepticism and defensiveness to outright frustration, you’ll often sit across from people carrying baggage you didn’t pack. But how you respond can turn resentment into respect — and build a powerful new relationship.

Join us as we explore why clients become resentful, how to recognise it, and what you can do to show them they’re in better hands now.
