The Mind Vault Method: A Smarter Way to Prep for Client Meetings
If you’ve ever prepared for a week full of client meetings, you know how quickly details blur together. By Thursday, it’s tough to remember what was discussed on Monday. That’s the problem Wes Young and Justin Lakin set out to solve with the Mind Vault Method.
This simple, repeatable system helps financial advisors capture meeting prep while it’s fresh, reduce overwhelm, and elevate both team performance and client experience.
A Better Way to Prepare
Most advisors prep all day Monday, then spend the rest of the week trying to recall the details. When a meeting gets pushed or a case resurfaces months later, the context is often lost.
The Mind Vault Method replaces that scramble with a five-minute screen recording. Right after preparing for a meeting, the advisor or paraplanner records a walkthrough using Loom or another tool. The video includes current status, past wins, open items, and key talking points.
Instead of long internal meetings, the advisor can review each video in minutes and go into the client conversation focused and clear.
Why It Works
This approach saves time, improves accuracy, and increases confidence. Advisors get to use their creative energy rather than redoing administrative work. Clients benefit too, because the advisor shows up more prepared and present.
These recordings also serve as training tools. Junior team members can study how experienced advisors frame decisions, explain concepts, and prioritize goals.
Ask These 4 Questions Before Every Meeting
The method is guided by four essential questions:
- What do they need to know?
- Why do they need to know it?
- What do they need to do?
- Why do they need to do it?
Answering these keeps each meeting clear, concise, and action-oriented.
A Gift to Your Future Self
When a client revisits a decision three months later or a team member transitions off an account, the original context is still there. Every Loom becomes a snapshot of your best thinking in the moment. That’s what makes this method scalable, repeatable, and surprisingly personal.
As Wes says, “Every recording is a gift to your future self.”
