Imagine This: Every Day, You Face the Conflict Between Doing What’s Right for Your Clients and Hitting Your Sales Targets
Have you ever questioned if you’re genuinely making an impact or just pushing products?
You’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of pushing products, feeling more like a salesperson than a trusted advisor. Day in and day out, you question whether you’re truly making a difference or just chasing numbers. The targets are always just out of reach, and each missed goal feels like a step back, reinforcing the sense of stagnation.
The frustration of stagnation because you didn’t hit your targets, the loneliness from a lack of support, and the gnawing feeling that you have untapped potential – these challenges are all too familiar.
Every day, you feel stuck in your career. Despite working hard, you’re not seeing the growth you hoped for. The same routine, the same struggles, and the same disappointments.
You’re working in isolation, with little to no support from your team or leadership. You face challenges alone, and there’s no one to turn to for advice or mentorship.
Deep down, you know you’re capable of more. There’s a constant, gnawing feeling that you have skills and talents that are being wasted. You dream of what you could achieve if only you had the right opportunities and support.
Now, what if you can wake up every day knowing that you’re making a real difference in your clients’ lives?
You’re not just selling products; you’re offering comprehensive, personalized financial solutions that truly benefit your clients.
🏆 Career Growth: You’re hitting your targets consistently and seeing your career take off. With each success, you feel more confident and motivated. Your career trajectory is clear, and the sky’s the limit.
🏆 Supportive Environment: You’re surrounded by a supportive team and experienced mentors who are invested in your success. Whenever you face a challenge, you have a network of people ready to help and guide you.
🏆 Fulfilled Potential: Your talents and skills are being fully utilized. You’re constantly learning, growing, and taking on new challenges. You feel fulfilled, knowing that you’re achieving your true potential.
That’s where our 90-Minute Fortis Peak Performance (FPP) Deep-Dive comes in.

How I Elevate and Accelerate Financial Consultants’ Careers at SP Fortis in 3 Steps Using The Fortis Peak Performance Framework
I have developed Fortis Peak Performance, a comprehensive system designed to elevate and accelerate the career and income of our financial consultants.
This method focuses on
Identifying the Right Audience to Serve
Strategising Around an In-Demand Service
Expert Positioning So That Clients Pursue You
How the Fortis Peak Performance (FPP) Works
#1: Audience – Transitioning to Affluent and High Net-Worth Clients Made Simple
A key part of the Fortis Peak Performance (FPP) framework is shifting from working with average consumers to focusing on wealthier clients. Why does this matter? Because it lets you offer more sophisticated and personalised financial services, which makes your clients happier and boosts your income.
Why Working Harder with Mass-Market Consumers Isn’t Enough
Have you ever felt that no matter how many more hours you work…
However many more calls and appointments you make… your income doesn’t seem to grow much?
When you focus on mass-market consumers, you often have to deal with:
- High Volume, Low Margin: You need many clients to make a decent income, which means more work and less time for each client.
- Limited Services: Most mass-market clients need basic financial solutions, so you can’t offer high-value services.
- Burnout Risk: The constant hustle and volume of client servicing can lead to burnout without significant financial rewards.
How Serving Wealthier Clients Changes the Game
When you shift to affluent and high-net-worth clients, things look very different:
- Sophisticated Solutions: You can offer advanced financial strategies like estate planning, investment management, and more.
- Personalised Service: Tailoring your services to meet specific needs increases client satisfaction.
- Higher Earnings While Serving Fewer Clients: Wealthier clients value and pay more for expert advice, leading to better income for you.
Why This Leads to Better Earnings
Providing sophisticated and tailored financial solutions leads to higher client satisfaction because:
- Trust and Loyalty: Wealthy clients appreciate personalised advice, which builds trust and long-term relationships.
- Referrals: Satisfied clients are more likely to refer you to their affluent friends and family.
- High Fees for High Value: When clients see the value in your detailed and customised plans, they are willing to have you manage a larger chunk of their portfolio, significantly increasing your earning potential.
Shifting your focus to affluent clients allows you to work smarter, not harder, leading to a more fulfilling career.
“But Marcus, how do I access the HNW market when
I come from an average background and social network?”
“These affluent people are already so successful,
why would they need my help?”
These are common self-limiting beliefs that can hold you back. During our 90-Min Fortis Peak Performance (FPP) Deep-Dive, I’ll share real stories of financial consultants who have achieved remarkable success, despite not coming from affluent backgrounds themselves.
The Fortis Peak Performance framework is designed to help you make this transition smoothly, leading to greater success and satisfaction in your financial advisory career. Request your private 90-Min FPP Deep-Dive now.

Eva Chai Achieved Her First MDRT Within 5 Months of Joining SP Fortis, and Her First COT Within The Same Year
(You Wouldn’t Know She Struggled As a Mass Market Insurance Consultant Before Transitioning)
Prior to joining Summit Planners Fortis, I was a new financial consultant in the industry, having made a career pivot less than a year earlier.
When I started, I struggled with sales, as many potential clients were already insured or had established relationships with other financial consultants. This led to a lot of rejections. Despite these setbacks, I continued setting 15 appointments a week, but my conversion rates remained disappointingly low.
I began to question whether I was approaching my role incorrectly. I felt uneasy discussing insurance policy reviews with potential clients, let alone requesting referrals.
I was struggling to make ends meet. I recalled my most significant case, a $12,000 regular premium, was unfortunately canceled during the free-look period. This shook my confidence to the core, and I honestly couldn’t see how far I could progress in this career.
Fortunately, I decided to give it another chance, thanks to a recommendation to join Summit Planners Fortis.
At Summit Planners Fortis, my exposure expanded to include wealth planning, estate planning, business succession planning, a broader scope beyond mere insurance. Within a mere five months, I was equipped to offer clients comprehensive solutions to their various problems.
In that short span of five months, I earned my first MDRT accolade and achieved COT later that year.
As I provided clients with value-added knowledge and solutions, my income grew in tandem with the size of my cases. My largest case to date is a $200,000 regular premium.
Now, I confidently share my expertise with everyone I meet, and my clients are eager to refer others to me for assistance.
For me, this transition has benefitted my personal growth, career development, and financial prosperity.

#2: Strategy – Estate Planning
One key strategy we use in the Fortis Peak Performance framework to attract wealthier clients is estate planning. Estate planning is super effective because it helps affluent clients manage and protect their wealth, ensuring it’s passed on smoothly to the next generation.
Here’s how estate planning transforms your client interactions…
Less Second-guessing Each Other, More Collaboration
When you work with mass-market clients, the experience often involves pushing products and convincing them to buy. This can feel adversarial, with clients being more guarded and skeptical about your intentions.
In contrast, estate planning with affluent clients is a more collaborative process. Here’s why:
-
- Shared Goals: Affluent clients are usually more proactive about managing their wealth and securing their legacy. They see you as a partner in achieving their long-term goals.
-
- Higher Trust Levels: Estate planning involves discussing personal and sensitive topics, which fosters a deeper level of trust and openness between you and your clients.
-
- Value-Driven Conversations: Instead of focusing on selling products, the conversation centres around creating comprehensive plans that address the clients’ unique needs and aspirations.
Benefits Over Mass Market Client Interaction
Working with mass-market clients often means:
-
- Product Pushing: You might find yourself frequently trying to sell insurance policies, investment products, or other financial instruments, which can feel transactional and impersonal.
-
- High Volume, Low Engagement: Mass-market clients might not see the long-term value of your services, leading to lower engagement and loyalty.
In contrast, with estate planning clients, you experience:
-
- Deeper Engagement: Estate planning clients are invested in their financial future and value your role in helping them achieve it.
-
- Long-Term Relationships: The nature of estate planning fosters long-term relationships, which can lead to ongoing business and referrals.
-
- Higher Earning Potential: Affluent clients are willing to pay more for personalized, high-value services, enhancing your income potential.
⚠️ Misconceptions About Estate Planning Sales Cycles
Some financial consultants believe that mass market clients are better for cash flow because they can close a case within 1 or 2 appointments, while estate planning clients have a much longer sales cycle due to their complex needs.
🥇 The Reality: There’s a Way to Expedite Estate Planning Cases
This is a common misconception. While it’s true that estate planning can involve detailed work, it doesn’t necessarily mean longer sales cycles. In fact, I’ve seen many of our consultants close substantial estate planning deals much faster than expected.
🧐 Want to Learn How?
In our private 90-Min FPP Deep-Dive, I will reveal how quickly some of our consultants have closed estate planning cases. You’ll discover how, with the right approach, what might seem like a lengthy process can be handled with impressive efficiency, allowing you to achieve meaningful results in a shorter time frame.

Chloe Wu Increased Her Case Sizes And Referrals In Just a Fraction of The Time She Previously Took After Joining SP Fortis And Optimising Her Estate Planning Strategy
Clients have become more sophisticated nowadays, and their needs are diverse. I have always been looking for a breakthrough in my career and an effective way to build trusting relationships with my clients.
I have tried using estate planning in my sales pitch before joining SP Fortis. However, it was a time-consuming process and did not bring me the results I anticipated.
Ever since I joined Fortis and embarked on their estate planning strategy in my sales process, I started having more meaningful conversations with my clients, effortlessly differentiating myself from my peers in the industry and reducing competition.
I grow closer to my clients and their families in a shorter time frame, and referrals become easier.
My case size increased tremendously, and I am able to achieve my sales targets within a fraction of the time, freeing up more time for client servicing and upgrading my skills.
With the trust they have in me, I no longer need to push for products and consequently become their go-to consultant in their financial planning journey

#3 Positioning – Be an Expert, Not a Salesman
Simply knowing about estate planning won’t automatically bring in clients. If you’re still out there chasing prospects for estate planning deals, you’re missing the mark.
Imagine if a highly skilled dentist or lawyer sets up a roadshow or cold-calls, trying to convince strangers to sign up for their services. It would seem absurd, right? Patients and clients typically seek out dentists and lawyers because of their reputation, expertise, and the value they offer—not because they got prospected at random.
Similarly, financial consultants should position themselves as trusted experts rather than pushy salespeople. When you chase prospects, they often see you as just another pesky salesperson. This diminishes your perceived value and expertise.
Attracting vs. Chasing: Perception Matters
Chasing Prospects
-
- Seen as a Salesperson: According to research published in Rutgers Business Review titled “A Push or a Nudge: Understanding Consumer Perceptions of Sales Pressure” by Diana L. Haytko, Ronald A. Clark, and James J. Zboja, people are more likely to reject offers if they feel they are being aggressively sold to. The study indicates that when salespeople chase prospects, they are often perceived as just another pesky salesperson. This perception diminishes the salesperson’s value and expertise, as aggressive sales pressure negatively impacts consumer trust and satisfaction, while more directive approaches can be seen as helpful in addressing consumer needs.
-
- Decreased Trust: Chasing clients can make them skeptical of your motives, reducing their trust in your advice and services. As Daniel Pink mentions in “To Sell is Human,” modern consumers are wary of pushy sales tactics and prefer to engage with professionals who demonstrate genuine expertise and value.
Attracting Clients
-
- Positioning as an Expert: Research by Cialdini in “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion” highlights the importance of authority and expertise in gaining trust and attracting clients. When you attract clients, they see you as a knowledgeable and trustworthy expert. They come to you because they recognise your expertise and the value you offer.
-
- Building Credibility: Attracting clients naturally builds your credibility and authority in estate planning, making affluent clients more willing to seek your services. As Dale Carnegie discusses in “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” genuine credibility and trust are foundational to successful relationships.
-
- Professional Recognition: Clients respect your expertise and are more likely to follow your recommendations.
Want to Learn How to Attract, Not Chase?
In our private 90-Min FPP Deep-Dive, we will dive deep into the strategies my top producers use to attract clients rather than chase them.
By attracting clients rather than chasing them, you position yourself as a respected expert in estate planning, leading to a more successful and fulfilling career.
The Fortis Peak Performance framework helps you master this approach, ensuring you can effectively serve affluent clients and grow your business.
