After a comprehensive survey conducted by Mr. Sanders? company, Creative Business Strategies, it became clear that the advantage of accepting help from outside experts to stabilize and expand financial planning practices was too little recognized as a factor for success. Surveys showed that most reps express organizational concerns, have marketing issues and appear to have lost some of the clarity needed to keep their practice on track. Given that in many cases support staff is limited, most need to be able to balance operations and marketing or find themselves struggling.

?We wanted to showcase the business coach and marketing adviser of our most successful registered rep to shine a light on how important it is for reps to have excellent control of time management and marketing so that more service can be delivered to their clients, and they can concentrate more on building their clientele,? said conference organizer Amy Windfeldt.

The story of Tweed Financial tells the tale of why David Sanders was tapped for the honor. Tweed Financial has been on a rocket ride of expansion by any standard. First order of business was bringing Rusty Tweed, principal of Tweed Financial Services to the #1 producer spot in United Securities Alliance (USA). When USA was acquired by the insurance giant, AIG, which didn't support the full spectrum of investment products promoted by his firm, Rusty joined CapWest mid the fiscal year. With a half year to excel with CapWest, Rusty rose to number one that year and has held the position since. He attributes his success to the relationship he has established with Sanders.

?I told David when we started that I really wanted to expand my business. I wanted to make it a lot bigger. I wanted to expand into something that was a force in the area and also when I wanted to do that, I wanted to make it very organized, because I knew in a highly regulated industry, that was the only way I would be able to make sure nothing fell through the cracks,? says Tweed.

Mr. Sanders has been charged with imparting some of the changes that he implemented in Tweed Financial that led to their runaway expansion despite the current economic downturn. Additionally, because the need has been expressed so urgently, he will address the importance of marketing strategy and demonstrate that this piece of the puzzle can also be put in without breaking the bank.

?We are very excited about what Mr. Sanders is bringing to this years? conference,? says Ms. Windfeldt. ?We feel that by presenting David paired with Dr. Glenn Mueller, a top real estate investment strategist for Dividend Capital Group, we are providing what our reps need to make their next year the best ever.?
