The annual Advisor Network Summit in Las Vegas is a vital meeting for agents to attend. A small investment of your time and money will provide you with some of the best ideas in the industry and access to the people sharing those ideas.
Every year, agents tell me that they decided to stay in the business because they attended the Summit. Many agents have reported dramatic increases in their production after attending the Summit, resulting in double or even triple their production. Some agents credit the techniques they learned at the Summit with helping them qualify for MDRT's Court of the Table and Top of the Table.
Attendance should probably be mandatory for people new to our business. New agents could not find a better place to build the foundation they require to earn success in our business. But the Advisor Network Summit does not rest on its laurels. Amazingly, it keeps getting better each year.
Tom Hegna will kick off this year's Summit by sharing his "7 Steps to a Secure Retirement." I think he is the best possible opening speaker. I have seen his talk dozens of times, and every time, I learn something new or understand his concepts better. I return home, apply the information, and make sales that I would not have made without his guidance.
