Introducing Encore Partners

Who are we? 

Hello, I am Rob Brown, the founder and head coach of Encore Partners.  I am committed to helping financial advisors build happier client relationships, more personal freedom and greater profits. During my 25 year career in the financial services industry I have always been a successful producer and valued mentor. My background also includes executive management with a full-service financial services firm.  I have defined all of my roles with the belief that the advisor is the ultimate determinate of success of any financial services organization. Find ways to make the advisor more effective in building and maintaining client relationships and the client, firm and advisor will all benefit.   Through this one-of-a-kind membership website, www.EncoreAdvisor.com, and personal coaching engagements, I have worked with hundreds of advisors representing dozens of broker-dealers and investment advisory firms.  Click here to learn more about me. 

What do we do?

Encore Partners is a client-driven training and online solutions firm that helps grow the business of financial service companies, their advisors and brokers. We use a unique combination of personal and web-based solutions to help individuals and organizations achieve greater productivity and higher levels of personal and professional satisfaction. Our consultation, training courses and speaking engagements are supported by this member-only website which helps our clients create "encores."

From showing you how to clearly articulate your value to building your team, our techniques enable you to capitalize on existing client relationships and rapidly build new ones. We call this the ENCORE Appraoch, a disciplined, six-step approach to practice management. Through coaching and training programs, we are committed to strengthening your business and increasing your success. 

Our Services:

  • Speaking Engagements
    As the head coach of Encore Partners, I am frequently asked to deliver keynote addresses and training sessions.  Each of my speaking engagements focuses on helping advisors create "encores," using our ENCORE Approach.  Contact robb@encoreadvisor.com if you would like to discuss your next conference or training event.  To learn more about the ENCORE Approach, click here
  • Teleseminars and Webinars
    I host teleseminars and webinars for members of EncoreAdvisor.com as well as larger organizations, such as broker-dealers and investment management firms.  Many times these events allow me to provide ongoing follow-up for my in-person engagements.  At other times, I choose topics that are driven by members of EncoreAdvisor.com or my coaching clients.  Contact robb@encoreadvisor.com if you would like to create a series of teleseminars or webinars for your organization.
  • Member-only Website
    One of the most unique services of Encore Partners is our membership website, EncoreAdvisor.com.  When you become a member of this one-of-a-kind website, you will receive a steady flow of "coaching sessions" which will help you deliver the Ultimate Client Experience, build a steady stream of referrals, make your marketing more profitable, create the freedom to spend less time in the office, and turn your clients into advocates for your practice.  Our online library is filled with articles, recorded web classes, marketing campaigns, assessment tools, customizable client letters, and activities for getting the most out of each day.  All of these features are designed to give you actionable strategies for achieving continually higher levels of success.   A 14 day trial membership is only $5.00.  Click here to learn more.
  • One-time Consultation
    I offer individual financial advisors, wholesalers, branch mangers and industry executives 90-minute telephone consultations.  During these consultations, I share as much information as possible about your topic(s) of interest.  Together, we could review your referral and networking strategies, discuss ideas for better segmenting your clients, review ideas for developing ongoing communication calendar, go over your marketing material, or you could pick my brain about any other subject you would like.  Click here to learn more.  
  • Private Coaching
    If you are looking for an edge that will help take your business to your highest level of success, I can help through my private coaching program.  I help each member of this program develop and implement a customized Action Plan, focusing on the most important goals that you have for your practice.  We may focus on unleashing the power of your unique value proposition, getting the most out of your existing client relationships, building a winning marketing strategy, and much more.  By implementing the proven techniques we cover in our time together you should grow your income by at least 25% over the next 12 months and get more done in fewer hours.  Click here to learn more.
  • Advisor Blog
    A free part of my website with many helpful hints and tips is my Advisor Blog.  I frequently post new messages, addressing current issues and ideas.  The blog posts offer similar content to the articles found on EncoreAdvisor.com but do not contain all of the tools that are available to members of the site.   Click here for access to Robb's blog.

Why do we do what we do?  Why an "Encore"?

Have you ever received a standing ovation or been in an audience when a performer was called back onto the stage?  The feeling of excitement is unmistakable.  Both performer and audience want the show to last forever.  You can feel the power.

Financial Professionals should look for this type of power in their relationships with clients and prospects.  It is the power that drives successful client solutions.   These solutions ultimately lead to higher levels of confidence and trust that in turn result in more business and new opportunities.

How do we do what we do?

The Encore Format

One of the most important features of Encore Partners' speaking engagements, workshops and webinars is the format in which they are conducted.  Most of our courses work through distinct Pre-work, Workshop and Follow-up coaching phases which combine original ideas, personal contact and web-based delivery.  This format is based upon three core beliefs:

  1. Our busy schedules do not always allow for setting aside long periods of time for training, so for training to be effective it must be part of our regular routines.
  2. Adults do not learn through "downloading;" practical ideas applied in everyday activities are better utilized and retained.
  3. Too much training is hit or miss.  The course is sold, attended and forgotten.  If our clients are willing to invest time and money in our coursework, we are going to do everything we can to be sure they receive a suitable return on investment.

The Encore Difference

  • Through our training, consulting and online services, we don't just teach clients "ideas," we help clients better understand their business needs and personalize solutions to help them meet those needs.
  • All of our course work is supplemented by our website to provide maximum and lasting impact.
