A group of people in a business forum. A forum brought together by Impact Learning, located in Atlanta Ga.

Imagine a small group of just 16 Advisors having the opportunity to actively discuss each of their unique practices, to learn innovative practice management solutions from their successful peers, to present and solve common business challenges as a group, and to leave with a portfolio of new ideas, practice innovations, and professional relationships that will, for many, become a catalyst for their accelerating career paths.

That’s what happens when like-minded professionals get together.

What’s a Typical Forum Like?

Practice Management Forums are fast-paced, structured over one day, and are specifically formatted to engage the group in interactive discussions around the 4 key components of a successful financial services practice.

Those 4 components are:

  • Asset & Liability Management
  • Client Service & Retention
  • Marketing & Client Acquisition
  • Team Development & Technology

The overall agenda provides attendees with plentiful opportunities to gain insights into the specific workings of each other’s practice. The collaborative peer discussions surface and then highlight unique business attributes, innovative processes, turn-key tactics, and effective team management strategies used by each attendee.
