The Brokerage Selection Process – An Effective New Business Competition

The ability to develop and retain revenue through the brokerage selection process is extremely important to successful producers.  The old method of "market selection" has historically yielded very poor results.  This is especially true at a time of constricted markets and elevated client/prospect expectations.  This webcast will demonstrate to professional producers and their firms how to compete and win at a very high level.

Fee Based Selling For Consultative Brokers

The ability to sell fee is critical to the development of a Consultative Brokerage practice.  The commission compensation arrangement is a complete disincentive in that somebody always loses (either you or the client.)

This webcast focuses on how Consultative Brokers are learning how to differentiate themselves and demonstrate value by developing fee based clients.  It also provides a formula for fee development.
