In this episode, Steve talks with Clint Haynes, CFP and Founder of NextGen Wealth in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. A self-proclaimed early-adopter, Clint stresses the importance of leveraging technology and creating efficiencies.
Clint has worked in the financial services industry for more than 20 years. He spent the first few years of his career cold-calling potential clients day-in and day-out. Those years of conversation helped Clint hone his ability to build meaningful relationships and connect with clients on a deeper level.
A desire for geographical independence prompted Clint to branch out and start his own firm. Not just an investment manager, Clint leans on both his virtual assistant and the various efficiencies he’s built to save time and, in turn, provide each client with a truly holistic financial plan.
Clint and Steve discuss why technology moves the needle, how digital marketing has accelerated Clint’s growth, and the three questions Clint asks himself before making any business decisions.
“I wouldn’t be able to do all of this if I didn’t hire somebody, unless I integrated technology as efficiently as possible. And so, it plays a huge role. And plus, there are lots of things that I’m not very good at or don’t want to do that technology takes off my plate as well. What I really enjoy doing with clients is the relationship, sitting down with clients, having conversations.” ~ Clint Haynes, CFP
