What is the
Coaching Program?
When you become a Coaching member, you’ll be assigned a business coach who will function as your guide, accountability partner and think tank from that point on to walk with you through any uncertainty and celebrate your successes. You’ll get:
Regular Email Communication
Whether you’re looking for advice with a particularly difficult client, or how you should communicate during a sudden market drop – or you just need a pep talk – your coach is available via email for all those unforeseen items that come up between your monthly calls.
Monthly One-on-One Coaching Calls
You and your coach will discuss
- Recent Victories or Challenges You’ve Seen
- Areas You Want Help to Improve
- Metrics You Want to Hit as You Grow
- Updates On Your Key Initiatives
- And Anything Else You Want to Discuss.
They’ll help you think through every area of your firm: marketing, investing, client communications, budgeting, hiring, and much more.
Does It Really Work?
While we don’t guarantee any results with our program, we can tell you this: Coaching members typically see their firms grow 2.5 times faster than the industry average over a two-year period. Since we started the program in 1993, we have helped over 12,000 advisors grow and improve their firms.
According to Registered Rep Magazine, twenty-percent of the nation’s top 100 independent advisors can trace their roots to our community.
Who Are
The Coaches?
Our coaches typically have decades of experience in the financial industry. They know what works and what doesn’t. They’ve helped advisors across the country make small tweaks that have big impacts and completely overhaul areas of the business to streamline their processes, gain wisdom and clarity around big decisions and have a steady voice as they navigate big changes.
