When you purchase leads from a third-party company, do you know what you are actually purchasing? Are those leads handpicked for you and your practice, or are they random names who showed slight interest in services you offer? And here’s the real question: Are those leads worth your time, money, and resources?
To grow your practice, you don’t want to attract just any client. You want to attract your perfect client. Here are three ways to generate quality leads to grow your business:
The most intimate and efficient way to find your perfect client is with educational workshops. Hosting seminars or webinars allows you to tailor topics to attract your ideal clients. For example, if high-net-worth individuals are your target, consider an estate planning workshop. Looking for the next generation of investors? A webinar on college planning or saving for retirement will draw them in. Once you've identified your ideal client, presenting yourself as an expert on topics that matter to them is key to generating quality leads.
Lead lists may not be the most effective, but technology can help you identify untapped markets. Tools like Success Zones unlock areas where financial education is in high demand. Discover nearby communities needing financial advice and focus on markets that fit your niche but are underserved by other financial advisors. This positions you as a thought leader and expert in that community.
Skip the lead lists and book appointments directly on your calendar. Consultation appointments connect you with qualified, exclusive leads actively seeking advice on topics you specialize in. These warm, handpicked leads save you from uncomfortable cold calls and allow you to dive straight into meaningful conversations with prospects seeking your help.

Evening and dinner events tend to attract more attendees, especially if your audience includes working professionals. However, lunch events can work well for retirees. It’s important to consider your target demographic and their availability.
Ideally, start planning at least 6-8 weeks before your seminar. This allows ample time for venue selection, invitations, and marketing.
Promote your seminar across multiple channels—direct mail, email campaigns, social media, and even partnerships with local businesses. Providing incentives like free resources or a meal can also boost attendance.
Topics like retirement planning, tax strategies, and estate planning tend to draw high-interest audiences. Tailor your topic to your target market's pain points and financial goals.
