Taught to Sell: MY Favorite Part in Ed’s Book

Have you ever been in a meeting with a financial advisor or agent and been pitched a product or felt pressured to sign the papers before you even understood what the plan was?

In Chapter 2 of Ed’s book, “Wealth Mismanagement,” I discovered that in the financial services industry, some firms prioritize creating sound portfolios by measuring risk and educating their client instead of simply focusing on making sales and sounding smart. This realization occurred during my time at a larger-scale firm.

  1. Based on my experience working at an investment firm with over 200 financial advisors, it’s evident that the financial services industry often prioritizes sales over education and the design of efficient portfolios for clients.
  2. “Wealth Mismanagement” by Ed Butowsky is a book that has the potential to reshape your perspective on investments due to its straightforward and practical approach.
  3. If you encounter something you don’t fully understand with your financial plan, it’s essential to refrain from taking action without comprehending the potential consequences.
