LPL Financial is a leading retail investment advisory firm and the largest U.S. independent broker-dealer.
The Vendor Affinity Program is an initiative designed to help advisors reduce the complexity and costs of running their businesses.

They want to know what marketing strategies, tactics, communication style and approach will empower them to engender the greatest impact,” continued Kelley. “What we deliver is a systematic and applicable model designed to be easy to implement by advisors who are seriously committed to enhancing their client acquisition process and growing their practice.”
