WHITE
PAPER - Strategic Alliances for Financial
Professional
Many of us in the financial services
industry are fiercely independent. And we tend to
keep our business practices closely guarded. As a
result, the industry as a whole progresses at a very
slow pace. One of the smartest ways we can speed-up
the pace, find opportunities and capitalize on them
is through use of strategic alliance networks. What
do we mean by “strategic alliance networks?”
Lie to Me Blog
Pam and I have several blogs where we put
fascinating and titillating bits of wisdom. They
focus on reading people and using psychology to be
more effective. We discovered that America is
enthralled with the TV show Lie to Me. But, the
show is full of psychological baloney. So, we
created a blog to highlight the skills used in the
show, and explain how you should use them.
Psychological Marketing Blog
I began using psychology in marketing programs in
the mid 1980s. Since then, I've continued to refine
my approach and add new wrinkles. Many of these
wrinkles are in this blog. There is a high
probability that you will never find this
information any place else.
Credibility & Likeability Blog
Our new book is scheduled for release by our
publisher on April 1. (no fooling) The title is:
Axis of Influence - how credibility &
likeability intersect to drive success. You'll
be able to get it directly from Amazon and major
book stores. We regularly add to this powerful body
of knowledge. And, when we do, those tid bits of
wisdom go right into this blog. I guarantee, no one
else in the entire business world can teach you
these things. That's because this is a very deep
area of specialization for us, and we've been
researching it since 199
How to Read People Blog
Pam and I have become somewhat famous as "people
readers." It's our other area of specialization.

building more loyal clients. We learn new skills
all the time, and we catalog them in this blog.
