The annual Financial planning School was moved from Downtown Toronto to a Community College Residence near Barrie where the participants lived and worked together using the Financial Planning Library and tools provided by the company to analyze and present a proforma case before leaving the school. Part of the course presented a performance systems approach to selling in advanced markets that made the company's managers and field directors much more supportive of the Financial Planning Approach. It worked on the basis of selling the prospective client what they wanted, then educating them once they had become a client. By integrating what the client had just purchased with his or her overall financial planning, often further needs were discovered that led to larger or further sales. Everything looped back to a fact-finding and the presentation of a comprehensive financial plan, establishing a stronger client relationship, and a roadmap for future engagement.Edited and contributed to a financial planning reference library of some six manuals.Supervised the company's Staff Insurance services, Executive Counseling service and DPSP Documents Service.Speaker at Conferences, meetings and workshops across Canada and in the United States.
