Senior Consultants are specialized top producers who focus on providing "high level advice" to a very select marketplace. The dramatic changes in the financial industry are emphasizing the "process through which these professionals are empowered to address and manage a broad range of investment issues most pertinent to the client." This adds significant value to their clients who are often high-net-worth, ultra-high-net-worth, and/or institutions. This curriculum is built around topics that will make each Senior Consultant more successful in the Fee-Based Advice Business Model.
