Symposium Speaker Spotlight: Erin Botsford
Leading up to our 2018 Symposium this fall, we highlight one speaker each month
Join us at this year's Symposium to hear from Erin Botsford , a Barron's Top 100 Advisor, on her five keys to building a growing financial services firm.

For the first seven years of her business, Erin struggled and never took a day off. Then she met "Paul," who had grown his business from $300,000 to $3 million in just three years and no longer met with clients. Erin spent the day shadowing him, and what she learned enabled her to substantially grow her business to do more than $3 million in production in just a few years.

In this session, she'll dive into her five steps to transform traditional "sales people" into "business owners" who build companies that grow and run without the day-to-day involvement of the owner.

The 2018 Symposium is October 8-9. Early bird pricing is available through July 31. Click here to learn more and register .
