Earlier this week, I was thrilled to introduce the first in a series of short polls we will be conducting over the balance of the year to gather adviser learnings and sentiments around 2020. This first survey addresses prospecting in the new normal.
In partnership with Transamerica, these surveys will take the pulse of the advisory industry over the next four months, as advisers reflect on lessons from 2020 and navigate the ongoing uncertainty of this new paradigm with their clients.
Please take the time to go to our website and complete this survey, which will take less than five minutes of your time. We look forward to sharing the results, and your input will inform upcoming research on best practices in the industry. We will be rolling these out about every 10 business days, and we expect the findings to be very useful.
Future topics will include:
RBT CPAs combination lifts assets at UHY's fledgling RIA unit more than tenfold in the firm's first year.
