Effective Interactions with Advisors Post Pandemic

Recorded On: 09/07/2022

Interacting with advisors continues to evolve at a faster pace than ever. Broker teams, advisory groups, and the use of home office models have continued to distribute investment decisions across individuals at advisory firms. Advisors themselves are being bombarded by more communications than ever, and wholesalers need to find effective ways of engaging advisors. The panel will explore the growth of teams and models in the industry, the roles individuals take with advisory firms, the data needed to make and track sales, and how to have effective interactions with advisors.

Join our expert panelists as they address the following questions:

  1. What is the impact of the changing advisory landscape on distribution activities?
  2. How have the roles within advisories changed the way that wholesalers interact?
  3. How has the growth of models impacted product distribution?
  4. How are people tracking broker teams, partnerships, and advisory groups?
  5. What data and tools are needed to be effective in the new landscape?


    Who should attend: product development, broker dealers, distribution, sales, marketing, and data analytics professionals.
