Ok things have gotten a bit stale lately so I have decided to mix it up a little bit.

I am going to put on a seminar or a few seminars to see how they go.

What I am looking for is some advice from people on what has worked for them?

AllTheWay I know you have been doing some seminars whats been working for you??

Good for you BigRed…trying something new is always exciting.
I went through my book, looked at it closely and realized quite a few husbands and/or wife’s had accounts elsewhere. I sent out invitations, didn’t do a seminar but an appreciation dinner and had a superb response.

Now that the non-client wife and /or husband knows me, it’s easier to get them both in for some planning.

Simple…but effective.

Keep us posted as I will be doing product /concept specific seminars in Feb and would really, just like you, appreciate some guidance.

All The Way

I do 6 - 8 a year. This YTD, I've done 4 - all to existing organizatoins. They bring the audience. Easy as pie. Normally I do 1 - 2 focus (women only....401k....CPA CE , Economic outlook, etc) Over the years, doing cold calling - one of my exit questions is to say "From time to time, I run informational seminars - What would you like to learn? They tell me and I add them to my seminar list of prospects, so I always have a pool of prospective semina attendees.

Insurance vs. Investment

Hey I just quit my job as an assistant to an FA (long story...) Was thinking of going into the insurance side, and then use it as a leverage to get in the training program of a canadian bank on the investment side. I talked to insurance agents at my old firm, commission seem to be comparable  and the market larger yet it seems the investment side attracts far more applicants.  So what made you choose insurance over invesment?  Did anyone make the transition from insurance to getting investment-liscenced properly?...More
