    • Course Objective: In the fast paced, high compliance work environment of an agency it is critical that a team works within a well-organized structure for success. When the right strategies are created, the proper structure is established, and the agency team is engaged in that structure, then the agency is set for ethical client fulfillment. Participants will discover a clear structure for organizing an agency based on five areas of business activity; sales, marketing, service, operations, and business strategy. Each area of activity has key strategies and structures for engaging team members to ethically carry out their responsibilities.  This blueprint for ethical business organization provides a stable foundation for delivery of services to clients in a highly regulated industry.

Making EVERY Employee a Part of your Sales Team

Imagine the possibilities if every team member considered themselves a part of your sales team?  This seminar is designed to capitalize on the opportunities that are often left on the table as service staff doesn’t “sell”.  Using Service Through Selling we’ll show you how to get everyone on board to grow your business.   This is a must for Advisors that have service staff and are looking to grow!

Expanding Your Capacity

Own a Business, Not a Practice
