The Concierge Corner
Welcome to our new section of the newsletter hosted by our new Concierge Services Desk Manager, Steve Hollatz
 
Steve:  I have over 18 years in the financial services industry and hope t hat concierge services can be an integral part of your team moving forward. After starting my career with Thrivent in their home office, I went on to spend some time in the field with a couple different firms including Merrill Lynch, then as a wholesaler for Transamerica and finally back to Thrivent as an internal/external point of sale consultant meeting with advisors and their clients.  I am truly excited to be working with a firm like AdvisorNet and the quality of financial professionals that they represent. My colleagues and I look forward to introducing the 'Concierge Corner' where each month we will touch on a sales strategy that you can hopefully take something away from and incorporate into your practice. 

A Life Insurance policy can provide upside potential with reduced market risk and add a predictable component to one' s financial portfolio.  It can also be viewed as a key component in adding flexibility to tax and estate planning. While it's not a new concept, it's time to rethink Life Insurance as an asset class.  Click here for details.
