How to Use Video to Be Magnetic to Prospects and Clients

26 Aug, 2020 BY angel

Video is everywhere you look online.

And being fluent in video is now a requirement for advisers who want to attract more and connect better with prospects and clients.

We were recently joined by our friends from FiComm Partners, Megan Carpenter and Candice Carlton.

We couldn’t think of anyone better to discuss video than FiComm Partners; their Video-First Advisor Education earned them a nomination by the 2020 Wealthmanagement.com Industry Awards under the category of Industry Disruptors.

Whether you want to level-up with video, or you’re looking to just START already, you’ll find awesome tips and motivation in the presentation below.
