The Questions That Change Everything: How Better Client Conversations Can Grow Your RIA

As technology and AI make financial information and technical capabilities more accessible, how can independent advisors continue to stand apart?
The answer may lie less in having all the answers, and more in asking better questions.


Join Equita Financial Network and Amy Mullen, CFP®, President of Money Quotient, for a practical conversation about how deeper client discovery can help advisors differentiate their firms, demonstrate their value and build stronger, more enduring client relationships.


Drawing on Money Quotient’s 25 years of multidisciplinary research into psychology, communication, adult development and financial planning, Amy will share how thoughtful questions can uncover the values, motivations and life experiences that influence the financial decisions clients make. More importantly, she’ll explore how advisors can use those insights to connect financial recommendations to what clients truly want their money to accomplish.


Facilitated by Bridget Grimes, CFP® or Katie Burke, CFP® of Equita Financial Network, the conversation will explore how independent advisors can put these ideas into practice as they build and grow their firms.


Attendees will learn how to:

  • Ask questions that move client conversations beyond traditional financial fact-finding
  • Uncover the values, priorities and motivations that can shape financial behavior and decision-making
  • Create more meaningful prospect conversations that demonstrate the breadth and value of financial planning
  • Connect recommendations to the goals clients care about most, helping increase commitment and follow-through
  • Deepen existing client relationships through important life transitions, from retirement to legacy planning
  • Use human connection and communication as a competitive advantage in an increasingly AI-enabled profession
    For female independent advisors in particular, building a successful firm isn’t simply about delivering great financial advice. It’s about creating an experience clients remember

Privacy Notice

We recognize the importance of protecting our clients’ privacy. We have policies to maintain the confidentiality and security of your nonpublic personal information. The following is designed to help you understand what information we collect from you and how we use that information to serve your account.

Categories of Information We May Collect

In the normal course of business, we may collect the following types of information:

  • Information you provide in the subscription documents and other forms (including name, address, social security number, date of birth, income and other financial-related information); and
  • Data about your transactions with us (such as the types of investments you have made and your account status).

How We Use Your Information That We Collect

Any and all nonpublic personal information that we receive with respect to our clients who are natural persons is not shared with nonaffiliated third parties which are not service providers to us without prior notice to, and consent of, such clients, unless otherwise required by law. In the normal course of business, we may disclose the kinds of nonpublic personal information listed above to nonaffiliated third-party service providers involved in servicing and administering products and services on our behalf. Our service providers include, but are not limited to, our administrator, our auditors and our legal advisor. Additionally, we may disclose such nonpublic personal information as required by law (such as to respond to a subpoena) or to satisfy a request from a regulator and/or to prevent fraud. Without limiting the foregoing, we may disclose nonpublic personal information about you to governmental entities and others in connection with meeting our obligations to prevent money laundering including, without limitation, the disclosure that may be required by the Uniting and Strengthening America Act by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, if we choose to dispose of our clients’ nonpublic personal information that we are not legally bound to maintain, we will do so in a manner that reasonably protects such information from unauthorized access. The same privacy policy also applies to former clients who are natural persons.

Confidentiality and Security

We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about our clients to those employees and agents who need to know that information to provide products and services to our clients. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect our clients’ nonpublic personal information. We respect and value that you have entrusted us with your private financial information, and we will work diligently to maintain that trust. We are committed to preserving that trust by respecting your privacy as provided herein.
