The Ideal Advisory Experience

Most advisors know that client expectations are rapidly evolving from a legacy sales-driven experience toward a more contemporary and comprehensive advice-centric value proposition. But J.D. Power research shows that although clients place significant value on this preferred experience, only a small fraction of advisors are delivering on it.

This webinar explores the research, key attributes and dynamics that drive the ideal advisory experience and sustainable success for both advisors and independent financial services firms.
