-
During this phase, new associates will partner with our firm’s onboarding team and resources to become a licensed financial planner. Through weekly meetings and collaboration, we will guide associates through the process and connect them with necessary resources for success.
-
The second phase is an intensive 30-day training program. This will begin with a week-long Basics Training combining classroom and self-study. This training will focus on the key front-end activities necessary to succeed in the business. Language, activity, joint work, and productivity will be monitored and supported by our development team. After the 30 day mark, associates will have a mastery of language and key activity metrics.

The third phase consists of a tiered training curriculum that builds on concepts and products knowledge. During the second half of this phase, advisors will begin the process of designations and further education.
