Praise for Storyselling for Financial Professionals

This book is tremendously useful as a practical, well thought out tool to help build stronger relationships with your clients. This book integrates left- and right-brain research in a powerful way.

Olivia Mellan, Author of Money Harmony: Resolving Money Conflicts in Your Life and Relationships

This book is a gem! It should be required reading for aspiring sales professionals in the financial services industry. What impresses me about this book is that its teachings are based on real world success stories, not on some obscure psychological theory. As an added bonus, it's fun to read.

Don G. Powell, retired Chairman, President, and CEO, Van Kampen Investments

I founded H.D. Vest on the idea that clients are much more willing to invest with someone who they know has their best interests at heart. Scott West and Mitch Anthony have lucidly explained how the art of the raconteur and the niche-picking strategy of the entrepreneur can combine with this personal approach to make for incredible selling success. I will enthusiastically recommend this book to our representatives.

Herb D. Vest, Chairman and CEO, H.D. Vest
