Primary Services: Financial Planning, Investment Management
Riley is a financial advisor based in Dallas focused primarily on growing assets under management. Before adopting digital prospecting, his business relied heavily on door knocking, referrals, and personal network relationships.
As client behavior shifted during the pandemic, he began exploring LinkedIn and social media as a more scalable way to connect with prospects and build his practice.
Riley’s challenge was not finding people to connect with on LinkedIn. The real difficulty was getting prospects to respond positively, engage in meaningful conversations, and commit to a productive meeting.
Without a structured process, outreach efforts produced inconsistent results and made it difficult to build a predictable pipeline of qualified opportunities.
He wanted a reliable system for turning LinkedIn connections into real conversations, appointments, and clients.
Rather than relying solely on traditional prospecting methods, Riley looked for a repeatable process that combined outreach, follow-up, sales strategy, and ongoing coaching.
Riley implemented the Fintello client acquisition system focused on building relationships through LinkedIn and converting those conversations into qualified appointments.
