When it comes to marketing financial planning and advice, using language that truly resonates with clients is crucial.
Clients express their goals, worries and financial dreams in their own words. By transcribing and analysing these conversations, advisers can capture the exact phrases clients use most and weave them into their marketing materials.
This simple approach can make marketing feel personal and relevant, setting your message apart from generic industry jargon.
But this client-centric language isn’t just for marketing - it can also be a powerful tool for training an AI clone of you! Sounds futuristic but bear with me...
Here’s how you can use insights from meeting transcriptions to create more effective, relatable marketing and to develop an AI clone that feels like an authentic extension of your client relationships.
Start with Your Clients’ Own Words
Advisers are increasingly using tools like Fireflies to record and transcribe client meetings, gaining direct insights into the language and sentiments that clients use most.
And tools like Fireflies don’t just capture conversations - they can also identify patterns in language, making it easier to pinpoint what truly matters to clients. Reviewing these transcripts provides advisers with a rare opportunity to listen to clients’ concerns, aspirations and questions in their own words, rather than industry jargon.
As clients describe their goals, advisers can pick up on the phrases they naturally use, like "feeling secure for the future" instead of "financial security" or "providing for my family" instead of "estate planning." Recognising these subtle but important differences allows advisers to reshape their marketing language to better resonate with clients, making content feel more engaging and approachable.
Using these insights, advisers can refine their marketing materials to echo the language that clients relate to most. By swapping out complex terms with client-friendly phrases, marketing content aligns more closely with what clients are actually looking for, showing a deeper understanding of their needs.
This simple shift creates a sense of connection and relevance that can significantly improve client engagement, as clients see their own priorities reflected in your messaging.
Three Ways to Translate Client Language into Your Marketing
Here’s a practical approach to using transcription insights to refine your marketing:
Example: How Client Language Shifts Marketing Tone
Instead of saying, “We offer investment planning services,” consider a client-centric phrase such as, “Helping you achieve peace of mind with a secure financial future.” This small shift is impactful because it reflects the underlying values clients express - security, family and peace of mind - helping them feel seen and understood.

The insights gained from transcription don’t stop at marketing. They can be invaluable for training an adviser’s AI clone, creating an automated extension of your business that feels authentic and client-focused.
An AI clone that uses client-inspired language can offer a more engaging, trustworthy experience for prospective clients who interact with it. Here’s how to take your transcription insights and apply them to your AI clone’s training:
