Ep 510: Creating Effective Discovery Meetings To Convert 100% Of (High-Value) Prospects Into Clients with Michael Yoder

Michael Yoder, founder of Yoder Wealth Management, describes how he built a discovery process that, in his telling, has converted every prospect who completed it into a client over the past decade. He explains how an introductory call is used to assess fit, how prospects are prepared for more personal money conversations, and how a deeper discovery meeting uncovers values, priorities and goals. The episode also covers how narrowing his expertise supported CPA relationships and referrals, and why he reduced client headcount to meet lifestyle goals.
