The Content &
Referral Engine.
A system that brings you new clients in your profile, built the way the best advisors actually grow:
authority and referrals that compound, not cold volume that burns out.

The myth
"Spend a little, get 5 new
qualified meetings a week."
Even top-1% advisors don't generate that from a campaign. That volume is their entire prospecting output, built over years of reputation and referrals.
Synthesis of the activity + referral data, not a single study. Sources below.
What the data actually says
- › Top advisors spend ~50% of their week in front of clients, but protect only ~4 hours/week for prospecting
- › Their target cadence: 6 clients + 1-2 prospects + 1 COI per week, not 5 cold strangers
- › Net-new qualified prospects arrive as a steady trickle that compounds, never a firehose

So we're not selling you volume. We're building you a compounding engine: content that creates authority, and a referral system that turns it into clients.
That "1 COI / week" is a Center of Influence: a CPA, estate attorney, insurance broker, banker, or realtor who serves the same clients you want and refers them to you. That weekly habit is how the 20% referral pipeline gets built.

Everything else (events, content, digital)
Your reality, from our calls
Roughly half referral, half people you meet in person, and zero top-of-funnel system. That's why it feels like "turning my wheels." The gap isn't your closing, it's a consistent, repeatable way to fill the top and reactivate the pipeline you already have.
The engine doesn't replace referrals. It amplifies them and adds a second, predictable stream next to them.

Through your 3-meeting process
Cold outreach
Makes 10-3-1 worse. Strangers don't trust you yet, so the ratio collapses and the volume needed becomes brutal. Also the riskiest path with Northwestern compliance.
Warm: content + referral
Makes 10-3-1 better. When the 10 already saw your content or came through a referral, more say yes, more close. Fewer touches, higher quality.
So the whole strategy is one move: pull the warm levers, not the cold ones.

Your own number, from the call
7 out of 10 of the people you talk to don't even know the difference between term and permanent. That knowledge gap is your content. Not pitching, educating, the way you already do in person, but now scaling to thousands instead of one meeting at a time.
Social selling means you post value and let curiosity bring people to you. Never outbound a life-insurance pitch. Authority first, conversation second, product last.
Profile 1 — The mover
Executives, founders & job-changers
- › Big-company executives, entrepreneurs, recent job-changers
- › Sitting on a rollover-eligible retirement asset (401k, deferred comp) the job change unlocks
- › The job change is the trigger, and LinkedIn flags it for us automatically
Profile 2 — The professional
High-income physicians & attorneys
- › Proven, high-income professionals, your best existing clients
- › Time-poor, financially under-organized, "balance sheet all in cash"
- › Respond to authority + education, exactly what content delivers
Lead vertical: wealth management (your words). Life insurance follows naturally inside the relationship, never as the opener.
Engine 01
Content
3-4 posts/week in your voice across LinkedIn + IG + FB. Replaces the robotic Sprinklr autoposts. Builds authority and inbound.
Engine 02
LinkedIn relationship
Targeted via Sales Navigator, individualized and value-first, drafted for you. You approve and send each one from your own account. Manual by design, which is what keeps it compliant.
Engine 03
Referral + COI accelerator
Systemizes the 3-way text intros you already do, and reactivates the dormant pipeline sitting in your follow-up backlog.
PROX runs all three. You approve and show up.
We draft, target, schedule, and track. You spend ~15 min/day approving on your phone and a 30-min weekly call. Everything routes through a private pipeline; the actual client messages stay on your Northwestern-archived channels.
Day to day · ~20-30 min total
- › Send the DMs I draft, from your own account (one tap each)
- › Reply to prospects who answer, fast: warm leads cool within hours
- › Approve the content I write before it posts (swipe approve / edit)
- › Show up to the qualified meetings I book on your calendar
Setup & rhythm
- › One 2-hour voice & tone session, so everything sounds like you (once)
- › Clear the compliance matrix with your home office (week 1)
- › Hand me your dormant referral / follow-up list to reactivate (names only)
- › 30-minute review call each week to tune targeting & messaging
Everything else, drafting, targeting, scheduling, tracking, reporting, is on me. Your ~20-30 min/day covers the two things that legally and relationally can't be outsourced: sending from your identity, and being you in the conversation.
I want to hear it from you first. Of everything you've seen, where's the biggest gap in your growth right now?
01
More qualified meetings, every month
02
A content presence that builds authority and compounds
03
Your dormant pipeline, reactivated
04
A growth system you don't have to run yourself
Standard rate $997/mo
$500
/ month · founding rate, months 1-3
Then $1,000/mo for months 4-6, once we hit the proof metric. A 6-month engagement, the full engine run by me.
Your tools — you pay directly, you own them
| GoHighLevel (pipeline / CRM) | ~$97/mo |
| Content & scheduling (Canva + social scheduler) | ~$99/mo |
| LinkedIn Sales Navigator | ~$99/mo |
| Tools total | ~$295/mo |
Sales Nav may already be covered through NM — then ~$196/mo
All-in pilot ~$795/mo (my work + your stack), stepping to ~$1,295/mo in months 4-6 as results scale. For context, one qualified meeting with a $1M+ prospect costs $2,500+ on the open market. Realistic goal: a consistent 3-5 net-new qualified conversations/month by month 2-3, compounding, plus tighter conversion on the referrals you already get.
Tool pricing verified June 2026; open-market meeting cost: Datalign lead economics
$4,000
Your cut per $1M managed, every year (1% × ~40%), recurring
~$6,000
Upfront on one permanent policy (~$1k/mo premium)
$96,000
Your stated target: 2 × $1M accounts/month, per year
What it costs you
~$6,300 all-in across the full 6-month pilot ($4,500 fee + ~$1,800 tools). After that, ~$1,000/mo + your stack.
What pays it back
One permanent policy ≈ covers the entire pilot. One $1M client = ~$4,000/yr, recurring 10+ years = ~$40,000 lifetime.
Conservative pilot: 3 new clients (the engine targets 3-5 qualified meetings/month) ≈ $12,000 in year one plus recurring, roughly 2x the cost inside 12 months and ~10x on lifetime value. Hit your target cadence and it's $96k/yr of new recurring comp against ~$15k/yr of cost.
Days 1-14 · Setup
Compliance matrix for your home office, voice + tone capture, content calendar, ICP targeting lists, pipeline built
Days 15-30 · Ramp
Content live, first individualized outreach, dormant-pipeline reactivation begins
Days 31-90 · Proof
Consistent qualified flow, weekly review, tune ICP + messaging. Then we scale.
Your words: "I'll pay to play. Start at 500 for proof of concept. Once we have success, the floodgates open." That's the deal: a 6-month engagement, $500/mo through the proof period, $1,000/mo once results show, then we scale it and open it to your network.
