The Mystery of the Double A with Terry Gronbeck-Jones (Ep. 99)

Why do some of your best clients, the ones with real revenue and a great attitude, never actually refer you to anyone? Terry Gronbeck-Jones calls this the mystery of the double A, and in this episode, he joins Duncan MacPherson to finally solve it.

Join Duncan MacPherson for an in-depth conversation with Terry Gronbeck-Jones, a business development consultant who has been coaching financial advisory teams since the late 1990s, the majority of that time spent at Pareto Systems. Terry and Duncan have known each other for nearly forty years, and this marks Terry’s return to Always On after his earlier episode on avoiding a plateau. Together, they unpack Pareto’s triple-A classification system: assets, attitude, and advocacy, and explain why the double A, the client with the first two but not the third, is one of the most overlooked growth opportunities in any practice. The gap between a good client and an advocate isn’t complicated once you see what’s missing.

Key Highlights Include:

Why double A’s sit on untapped gold

The three real reasons great clients don’t refer

Why the little things are the big things

Positioning referrals as a service, not a favor

Why strategic partners refer three times more often

Tune in for a warm, practical conversation on turning your best relationships into your best source of new business.
