"Grant's knowledge in the area of marketing your advisor services is of great value. For me the biggest difference was that he got me to think like a marketer instead of as a salesperson. So often we get trapped focusing on personal production that we don't think about the long game. I would highly recommend Grant's "outside the box" thinking to anyone planning to scale their advisor practice and generate more leads without their direct effort. "
