Module 6: The Academians' Blog

This is where we post frequent and timely material (technical and casual material) for members on any one of the previous six “Module Topics”, or other random topics for that matter! Academy members are free to comment and converse among themselves within our blog section. Keep it clean and cordial however!

“With recent advances in product development with annuities, life and LTC, the product trainers as well as the reps/agents have to be equivelent to PHDs with these products in order to know what they are selling. Most importantly, there is so much more that financial professionals and Broker Dealers are looking for today than just “product specs”. It is also about practice management and helping them get in front of more prospects. This is why I created this platform.”
