In today's hyper-competitive wealth management environment, financial advisors must go beyond referrals and networking events to grow their practice. That’s where Select Advisors Institute steps in—with a strategic, results-driven approach to business development that elevates advisors into elite client acquisition professionals.
Founded by Amy Parvaneh, a former executive at Goldman Sachs and Deloitte, Select Advisors Institute has become the go-to resource for financial advisors looking to enhance their branding, marketing, and sales capabilities. Amy and her team bring a unique mix of Wall Street insight, branding expertise, and real-world client-facing experience to empower advisors to thrive.
A Tailored Framework for Modern Advisors
At Select Advisors Institute, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all templates. Every advisor, every firm, and every market has unique dynamics. That’s why we begin with a thorough diagnostic—understanding your target audience, your strengths, your gaps, and the roadblocks in your current growth strategy.
From there, we implement a customized roadmap that includes:
Client Acquisition Coaching – Not just about selling, but about cultivating relationships with high-net-worth individuals through consultative, trust-based dialogue.
Marketing Systems That Scale – Social media strategy, digital branding, and content development that attracts ideal clients.
Storytelling and Messaging – Crafting a personal and firm narrative that resonates with affluent prospects and sets you apart.
Accountability and Execution – Weekly coaching, feedback loops, and real-time refinement to ensure progress and momentum.
Helping Advisors Break Through the Growth Plateau
Many experienced advisors reach a point where growth slows, despite years of strong performance. This is usually due to a lack of differentiation or the absence of a scalable marketing engine. Our work is about reigniting growth by focusing on the behaviors, systems, and branding required to connect with wealthier clients and increase referrals from professionals like CPAs, attorneys, and business owners.
We identify the weak links in your sales conversations, optimize your online and offline presence, and train you to present your value in a way that speaks directly to your target market's deeper financial goals and emotional drivers.
Why Select Advisors Institute?
Our clients don’t just want a coach—they want a partner who understands the psychology of elite clients and the mechanics of high-performance business development. Amy’s background in financial services, coupled with her media training and strategic communication skills, offers clients an edge in a crowded marketplace.
We've worked with advisors at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, UBS, independent RIAs, and boutique wealth management firms. What they all have in common is a desire to elevate—from good to exceptional—and create a brand and growth engine that is sustainable, compelling, and repeatable.
Building a Personal Brand That Converts
Branding is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Especially when serving affluent individuals who expect to work with someone credible, professional, and relatable. We help you build a brand that reflects your expertise while making it easy for ideal prospects to say “yes” to that first meeting.
This includes:
Optimizing LinkedIn and digital profiles
High-conversion marketing collateral
Personalized video strategies
Podcast and webinar positioning
