XY Planning Network has added various new services to its financial planning platform that it said Monday were designed to help fee-for-service advisors at all stages of firm ownership, from preparing to scaling.
The new services are sales and compliance coaching, as well as XY Tax Solutions, financial planning and process consulting, XYPN announced at its annual national conference, #XYPNLIVE, in St. Louis.
Starting in October, XYPN will offer a three-week "quick-start sales and marketing intensive" coaching program, it said. That program is "designed for advisors who are preparing to launch firms," Jennifer Mastrud, XYPN director of marketing, told ThinkAdvisor.
It will be followed, at the start of 2020, by a more advanced program for firm owners who want to "refine and improve the effectiveness of their sales and marketing processes," XYPN said. That advanced sales program "will be ideal for advisors in the 'building' phase (20-75 clients)," Mastrud said. Both programs will be led by XYPN's in-house sales coach, BB Webb.
XYPN's new compliance coaching services, meanwhile, were designed to "help advisors develop, implement and revise their compliance programs," it said. Its in-house compliance experts will "work with advisors one-on-one to improve operational efficiency and increase accountability for their ongoing compliance needs," it said.
