The WealthStack Podcast: The Power of Visuals to Create Deeper Engagement with Dr. Ross Riskin
Is a picture worth a thousand words? In the case of visiWealth, the answer is yes. Financial planning is complicated and often full of jargon that is complex. As advisors know, when complexity increases, understanding can often decrease, and it can be a challenge to get clients to trust what they don’t understand. This is why the power of engaging visuals has become a game changer in wealth management.
In this episode, Shannon Rosic, director of WealthStack content and solutions, speaks with Dr. Ross Riskin, founder and chief creative officer at visiWealth, about the effectiveness of visuals to create more trust and positive outcomes for clients.
Shannon and Ross discuss:
- The psychological impact of visuals and the importance of emotional connection
- Myths and misconceptions around advice engagement
- Why advisors need to understand the “learning style” and preferences of their clients
- The 3 C’s” that advisors should focus on for success in the future
