Interactive, action-oriented workshops will focus on three vital business competencies - marketing, human capital and financial strategy - that, when combined, have been proven to accelerate firm growth substantially
LOS ANGELES, March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Live Oak Bank, FourPointe Consulting and FiComm Partners announced a new joint workshop series today: INVINCIBLE: The Most Direct Path to $1 Billion (in Assets Under Management). Led by Jason Carroll, Angie Herbers and Megan Carpenter, respectively, the immersive day-long sessions will feature a range of topics, takeaways, networking opportunities and real-time business assessments carefully constructed to make a major impact on any advisory firm immediately.
The inaugural event will kick off in San Francisco, on May 9th, at the Bridges Golf Club, followed the next day, May 10th, in Portland at the Hyatt House Portland/Downtown. Registration is now open and is accessible here.
"The alarm bells are ringing from every corner of the industry," says Carpenter, CEO, FiComm Partners. "From Cerulli studies, to industry publication studies, to bloggers like Michael Kitces studying and reporting on the studies, to industry icons practically shouting at advisors from the stage at every significant conference – efficiency and scale are imperative for advisors that want to be relevant and remain in control of their businesses. Unfortunately, not enough sub-$1B AUM firms are running a business from a position of power. INVINCIBLE is built specifically for this need."
Herbers, CEO, FourPointe Consulting, adds: "When growth slows down or stops moving altogether, it can be extremely frustrating, and disheartening for owners. Separately, when Megan and Jason and I work with advisory teams to solve challenges, we can make a meaningful difference – but when we join forces? These sessions will be the growth catalyst firm owners have been longing for."
Carroll, Live Oak Bank's investment advisory team managing director, will kick the event off by offering his perspective on the state of the industry and insight into creating a successful trajectory as an independent advisor. "All firms are different, have different drivers, people, philosophies," says Carroll. "We're looking to help the ones who want to build a sustainable, competitive, successful business for many years to come."
This workshop continues with a "Readiness Assessment" and peer group discussion. Herbers will then present a highly detailed "Path to $1 billion in assets" plan complete with downloadable takeaways. Carpenter then takes the stage to lead the room through a branding exercise. And all of this is before lunch. After lunch? Executive coaching, marketing plan development, valuations explained and a take-home checklist to keep participants on track.
Agenda Highlights (thought leader focus):
The workshops are designed to offer the most benefit to advisory firms between $100 and $750M in AUM, but firms of any size are welcome and will learn something valuable to take away with them.
Carpenter concludes: "All of us are 100% invested in the continued growth of the industry, and the advisors in it. We look forward to helping them build INVINCIBLE businesses."
