Senior Market Sales 5-City Event Shows Retirement Planning Professionals New Approach to Practice Management
OMAHA, NEBRASKA (PRWEB) September 19, 2016 -- Senior Market Sales® (SMS) will travel to five cities this fall to deliver The New Foundation of Practice Management, a half-day training session to help retirement planning professionals address clients’ demand for convenient, concierge-like treatment and comply with the Department of Labor’s new fiduciary rule.
The event is designed to help retirement planning professionals — from independent insurance agents and investment advisors to financial advisors and registered reps — position themselves as consultants instead of salespeople, competitor-proof their clients, create referral-generating advocates and stay compliant by operating in the best interest of each client.
“The fiduciary rule will require more financial planning professionals to act in the best interest of their clients and to document their process and each client interaction,” said Chris McDonald, associate director of institutional sales at SMS. “This comes at a time when consumers want to simplify their lives and expect technology and customer service to be integrated and convenient. This session shows agents and advisors how to adjust to these changes and the fiduciary rule, what support is available and how to leverage the changes and resources so that they’re growing their business.”
The event will be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Oct. 18; Chicago on Oct. 20; Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Nov. 1; Indianapolis, Indiana, on Nov. 3; and Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4. The $25 registration includes a light breakfast and lunch.
The New Foundation of Practice Management follows last spring’s The New Foundation of Retirement, a highly popular half-day session on incorporating Social Security, Medicare and extended care into retirement planning. With more than three decades in the industry, SMS is able to identify emerging trends and provide support that gives financial planning professionals a competitive edge.

“Many financial planning professionals know they need something to take their business to the next level, but they don’t know what it is,” McDonald said. “This session shows how rethinking customer care, especially in the context of new regulations, can produce a sustainable business model, for even greater success.”
