The Organic Growth Operating Model: A Sequenced Playbook for Financial Advisors
Webinar
Most financial advisors have tried the tools — emails, LinkedIn campaigns, the occasional webinar — without ever building the foundation underneath them. The result is wasted spend, low conversion, and growth that stalls the moment markets stop doing the work for them.
This session presents a proven, sequenced operating model for scaling organic growth across advisory practices of all sizes. Drawing on benchmarking data from Cerulli, Schwab, and real-world results, FMG Chief Marketing & Experience Officer Susan Theder and Chief Evangelist Samantha Russell walk advisors and firm leaders through the eight-layer playbook that separates practices growing 20-30% organically from those riding AUM drift. From defining an Ideal Client Profile and industrializing referrals, to building an AI-engine-ready content strategy and knowing exactly when — and when not — to invest in paid lead generation, attendees will leave with a clear sequence to follow and a prioritized action list they can start implementing immediately.
What You'll Learn
- A sequenced growth framework you can apply immediately. You'll learn the eight-layer organic growth model — in the exact order it should be built — so you stop investing in channels before your foundation can convert them.
- How to industrialize your referral and COI programs. You'll learn the specific systems that turn client referrals and center-of-influence relationships from ad hoc wins into repeatable, trackable growth channels that compound over time.
- How to show up where prospects are searching today. You'll learn how AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are changing how prospects find advisors — and the concrete steps to make sure your practice gets cited, not just ranked.
- The three documents that predict growth more than anything else. You'll learn what a documented marketing plan, Ideal Client Profile, and written value proposition actually look like in practice — and how to build them even if you're starting from scratch.
