Somewhere between Rookie class and Top Producer status is the bulk of a firm's financial professionals. This group constitutes the middle segment of a bell curve and represents a sizable investment for the firm. Additionally, this group represents tremendous unrealized potential to the firm.

The courses in this program differ somewhat from those offered the $350K and lesser producers. These modules focus on more advanced skill development. Financial professionals making sure, steady advances can be shown how to more quickly and efficiently move to the next levels of productivity.

These financial professionals want to learn about the best business practices of their competitors.
They want to polish their considerable skills.
They need to be challenged to make critical refinements in their business approaches.
They must learn managerial skills, if they are to develop an effective team that will help propel them to the next level of top producer.

For those mid-level producers who have plateaued for whatever reason, The Progress Center offers effective solutions by helping them to raise expectations, thereby raising their success to a higher level.

Skill Sets for Mid-Level Producers

1. While financial professionals in this group have already demonstrated a good level of proficiency, there is critical knowledge to learn. The modules in this program are designed to enhance the ability to communicate complex information clearly. The financial professional learns how to become consistently effective.    Sales Strategies and Consultation Skills

Business Development2. To achieve high levels of success, the financial professional must learn how to manage a dynamic, successful business. To reach the top, these professionals must establish a business philosophy that recognizes the client as the ultimate arbiter of quality and places the client's needs first. The financial professional must learn to think like a chief executive officer of his/her own franchise/business to appreciate the cost effectiveness of any activity relating to his/her success.

3. The Progress Center offers cost effective alternatives to in-house personnel and can deliver courses that a firm may be unable to provide.    Product Knowledge

Maintaining Motivation4. In addition to maintaining personal motivation, avoiding burn-out and dealing with the day-to-day stresses of the job, these financial professionals are usually beginning to manage other team members. This professional's problems are partly compounded because he/she must now manage other people, and he/she may now need a host of additional skills to effectively motivate and direct his/her employees.
