How to Thrive During a Recession

By Simon Reilly on 7/21/22 10:00 AM

Humanity can survive anything. We’ve seen our economy sink and soar, our communities fight against disease, and despite the circumstances, find hope to carry on—not only carry on but thrive enough to build the world as we experience it today. Our families experienced The Great Depression, and you may have witnessed firsthand the impact of the 2008 financial crisis. While you may be experiencing the full effect of the fear-based language around an unavoidable recession from the news or family and friends, you know you’ll make it through.

In-Person or Virtual?  Questions for the Older Client

By Elie Harriett on 9/17/21 7:45 AM

When do we meet? When I was first starting, that question was music to my ears. It means the prospect was comfortable enough with me that we could sit down in person and I could potentially close the sale. But time marched on and technology changed, meaning it was no longer necessary to make a sale in front of everyone I spoke with. And as the generations changed, the desire, no, the need to meet clients to make the sale eye to eye has diminished.

At this mid-year point, we are finally experiencing what we hoped in the fight of our country to reduce the incidents of COVID-19.

FinTech: Not All That Glitters Is Gold

By Brian Haney, CLTC, CFS, CIS, CFSB, LACP, CAE on 5/13/21 10:19 AM

I’ve given dozens of talks on the need for financial professionals to navigate the digital landscape effectively, and invariably the conversations veer into the arena of “what’s the newest, best tech to help me grow?” As a self-avowed tech junky, I am always obliged to engage in this conversation, because it’s a lot of fun to talk technology.

Industry Groups Come Together to Survey the Pulse of Agents and Advisors

By NAIFA on 7/8/20 9:23 AM

An industry pulse survey of insurance and financial services professionals released today by NAIFA, LIMRA, the Insured Retirement Institute and Oliver Wyman found that the COVID-19 outbreak has made it challenging for agents and advisors to connect with new clients. More than three-quarters said that either all or a higher proportion of their insurance, annuities and investment sales have been to existing clients. Only 17% said new clients have accounted for a higher proportion of sales, while 5% said new clients accounted for all of their sales.
