Episode 49: How Caring Leads to Success
Guest: Anne McCabe Triana

\n

My guest this week truly cares about her clients and is an advocate for women in the financial industry. Anne McCabe Triana is a graduate of George Mason University and has been working in the financial industry since 2001. She has worked with organizations like American Express Financial Advisors and UBC and is an independent advisor (owning her own company). Her current venture, Curo Private Wealth is focused on caring and engaging with clients. Anne\u2019s team strive to learn what the concerns are of their client\xa0and then move forward from there to create a trusting relationship.

\n

Anne is also a huge advocate for women in the financial industry. She feels that women are great financial advisors because they can be innovative in finding clients and then are able to foster strong, nurturing relationships. There is also a lot of flexibility later in the profession so that women with families can manage their own time around their family\u2019s needs.

\n

One thing that Anne was told early on in her career was to learn to golf if she wanted to close deals. Very early on, she took golf lessons but at a certain point, she found herself being inauthentic. Even the way she was dressing felt wrong for her. If she could go back and change things, she wouldn\u2019t try to be a \u201cman\u201d. Anne recommends embracing our female qualities because those are strengths as well.

\n

For those starting in the profession, Anne recommends finding and becoming committed to a niche and know absolutely everything about it. Anne\u2019s success came from networking, building relationships, referrals and servicing clients as much as possible.
