ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scottrade® Advisor Services is once again working with advisor success company ActiFi to help advisors with tools and skills they can use to help grow their businesses.
The first of two 60-minute webinars, “CRM, Document Management and Processes,” is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. EST Tuesday, April 25. The live webinar will be repeated at 4:15 p.m. EST Tuesday, May 9.
The second webinar, “Financial Planning, Portfolio Management and Investment Tools,” is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. EST Tuesday, May 23. The live webinar will be repeated at 4:15 p.m. EST Tuesday, June 6.
Webinar attendees will learn how to get the most from their technology and hear about how their peers are using their technology. Prior to the webinar, advisors can take the Scottrade Advisor Tools and Systems Assessment to gain insight into how they are getting the most from their technology. Along with a personalized assessment, advisors will be able to benchmark themselves against their peers.
“Technology is the great equalizer for emerging advisory practices, and a catalyst for differentiation for advisory businesses,” said Brian Stimpfl, senior vice president and Head of Scottrade® Advisor Services. “RIAs must take advantage of today’s technology to build efficiencies, and attendees will hear best practices on how to leverage technology to help enhance both the client experience and the bottom line.”
The recent Scottrade® Advisor Services Study revealed improving technology is currently the No. 1 investment priority for RIAs. The perceived benefits of improving technology are substantial, according to the study. Improving client service is the most commonly selected benefit RIAs hope to gain from the use of technology at their firm, and many also see technology as a way to provide convenient access and improved solutions to clients.
Scottrade® Advisor Services has worked with ActiFi over the past few years to host webinars and in-person practice management education seminars for hundreds of advisors around the country. To sign up for the latest webinar series and take the assessment, visit https://advisor.scottrade.com.
