Today's guest is Anthony Saccaro. Anthony is the President and CEO of Providence Financial, a firm focused on providing income solutions for retirees.

He shares his journey of growing his business, managing a team, and the lessons he's learned along the way.

In this episode of The Advisor Summit Podcast, Anthony Saccaro discusses his journey from a door-to-door insurance salesperson to the CEO of a successful financial firm, Providence Financial. He talks about the importance of systems and processes, metrics, and how a business owner mindset helped him scale his practice. Here’s an overview of the key points discussed:

The Early Days: Anthony shares how he got his start in the financial industry, knocking on doors, making cold calls, and learning the ropes of sales. His persistence and “go-getter” attitude were key to his early success.

The Importance of Processes: Anthony talks about how building processes was critical to growing his firm. From client intake procedures to tracking metrics, he emphasizes the importance of having systems in place to scale efficiently.

Growth and Team Development: Anthony reflects on how he transitioned from working solo to running a growing firm. Hiring employees, creating systems, and training advisors were all part of the process that allowed him to scale and continue growing.

The Power of Metrics: As a process-driven leader, Anthony discusses how the introduction of metrics and data-driven decision-making has helped his firm thrive. He talks about the partnership with Track That Advisor and how it’s enabled him to make better decisions, refine processes, and track marketing methods effectively.

Disqualifying Clients: A key takeaway is Anthony’s shift in mindset about disqualifying clients earlier in the sales process. He shares how refining his approach to qualifying prospects has improved his firm’s closing ratios and saved time.

Tracking Marketing Effectiveness: Anthony highlights the importance of tracking the results of marketing efforts. By using data to assess which marketing methods are working, he was able to make more informed decisions, such as canceling a costly radio show that wasn’t generating returns.

At Track That Advisor, we believe that independent financial advisors shouldn’t have to struggle with overwhelming spreadsheets and confusing reports.

Our mission is to simplify data analysis, providing clear, actionable insights that help advisory firms grow and thrive.

With years of experience in financial analytics, our team understands the challenges advisors face. We don’t just provide numbers—we provide a roadmap to success.
