Partnered Up:
How these two advisors leveraged their differences to explode the growth of their practice. 

Thursday - November 4, 2021

12:00 PM - 12:45 PM EDT

 

A livestream interview with a dynamic duo in the financial planning industry with a knack for cloning their best clients. The discussion with these partners in life and business will focus on how they have harnessed the power of introductions to grow their practice and leverage their differences to appeal to a wide range of clients. From marketing and client experience to financial planning and accidental marriage counseling, these two will share some of their unique experiences that have made them a success.

So much of what makes them special starts with infusing the love of their business and each other into everything they do. From thoughtful client events to creative seminars, the Yents infuse a “secret sauce” that just works.

Each of these phases will be dissected in an easy-to-consume manner with instant takeaways and actionable steps that can be implemented effortlessly within your practice.

What's in it for us (USA Financial)?

We are firm believers that transparency always wins. We also know that, in general, the more one gives the more they will receive. As a result, we know that many of you will have an interest in learning more about how USA Financial could potentially benefit the future growth, scaling, and/or transitioning of your business. We would welcome that opportunity. Our expectations are simple - if you find the event to be valuable and feel that a relationship with USA Financial in some capacity is something worthy of exploring, let's do it. We are a recent 5-time Inc. 5000 company and have been running our hub-and-spoke synergistic business model since 1998; long enough to know that there needs to be a parallel alignment on both sides. Maybe we're a great fit. Maybe not. There's no harm in exploring the notion.

Is there a registration fee?

We have waived any registration fee to attend this event, which is why only high-achieving advisors may attend. We recognize that your time and our time is extremely valuable. Our promise is to make every effort to have you walk away from this event thinking "Wow. That was unbelievable."

What does it mean to be a "qualified" advisor?

Qualifying advisors are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Attendees will be successful professionals who have a proven track record of excellence, yet understand that there are always small refinements that can be made to greatly improve their business (because small hinges can swing big doors). You will work closely with one of our Business Development professionals to discuss the details of the event and to finalize registration details.

What's the catch?

There's only one catch. We ask that you attend this event with an open mind and take an hour to tune out the noise of your everyday business life. Explore new concepts. Participate in the discussion. And if you feel as though USA Financial is worth taking a closer look at for the future growth, scaling, or transition of your business, we'll find a way to continue the discussion. That's about as transparent as we can be.
