Retirement. It’s what most working people live for, isn’t it? That time when there are clocks, no boss and no deadlines. If retirement is supposed to be bliss, why are so many people depressed and discouraged living in retirement? The reason is that most people don’t know how to prepare. They focus on their “number” – that magical amount that will carry them through and allow them to follow their dreams. But, they don’t focus on all of the other aspects of retirement: Health, wellness, living out the second half of life, and living options to name just a few. After working with retirees for over 25 years, Mark Singer started to see patterns. He understood what made the difference between those enjoying retirement, and those just in retirement. Now, for the first time, Mark has compiled information from five experts into one book to help you master the transition of a lifetime. Contributors include: <ul>

This book explores the root causes of financial illiteracy and how to correct it. It shows how the lack of financial literacy begins with the everyday lives of employees and how the lack of financial education can impact the overall productivity of the American workforce. This significantly impacts the bottom line of employers as well as the ability of workers to save for their retirement futures. Together we will explore practical solutions that can be implemented to improve financial literacy in the workforce, help relieve employee stressors, improve productivity among workers, and help them to more effectively save for their retirement futures. There is hope for the future and, by working together, we can achieve the success for which we all have worked so hard and rightly deserve. Working together, we can “Change the Conversation” and begin to build better financial outcomes.

Selling is as old as civilization itself. Put in the simplest of terms, selling is the exchange of goods and services for something of value. To financial advisors, however, the sale is often seen in a negative light, and many cringe at the word “sell.” Interestingly, the same advisors who shy away from the concept of selling are often those who find themselves selling every single day! Sometimes they’re even participating in the selling process multiple times throughout the day--and they may not realize it. Asking for client referrals, developing strategic alliances, seeking and talking with new prospects are all obvious parts of the selling process, but selling happens every time you remind a client why it’s a good choice to do business with you, too. The fact is that most CFAs®, CFPs®, CPAs, and other professionals did not obtain these titles because deep down they really wanted to be in sales. Most times, their interests tend more toward data, analysis, and more solitary orientations. Selling is probably the last thing those who entered these fields were thinking of doing. They may not have considered the “people” aspect of their chosen profession; the aspect that involves sales. For this reason, and some others, turning into a salesperson seems like a negative, degrading thing. Many advisors will conjure up the picture of the slimy used-car sales guy. It’s time to recognize selling as the valuable activity that it is. It is a way to: Let people know who you are and what you do well. Get your message out to those who need it. Promote your planning process, wealth management services, or investment expertise. Use your relationship skills to close new business. Take your business to the next level. If you want to grow your business, the bottom line is that you--or someone on your team--need to sell, and to sell well. This book will offer guidance on how you can sell in a comfortable and effective manner.
