Event Details

Showcase is a small-group setting where top advisors take over to share with you their inner workings on how they became so successful at what they do. Each advisor has a different specialty or process they’ve perfected, proving they know what they’re doing. They’ve got experience, know-how and cut straight to the chase.

Topics include:

  • How to become a better marketer to keep your pipeline full.
  • Approaches to backend support and processes that can help evolve your practice.
  • How deepening your relationships can lead to lifelong clients and generate more referrals.

It takes a lot to step away from your daily hustle for two days. We wouldn’t invite you to do so if it wasn’t worth it, right? Taking your financial practice to the next level is no easy task. It takes a village to get you to where you could be. That’s why we’re here—to help you succeed.

Showcase can help you do just that. You’ll also be privy to learn a little bit about who we are and how we’re different from other IMOs. Here, it’s not about us—it’s about YOU.

This agenda will get you fired up.

In addition to managing clients’ money and giving investment and diversification advice, Mark Roberts offers something that “the other guys” don’t—a unique approach to retirement tax strategies and distribution. Time and time again, Mark meets with new clients who tell him they have a great relationship with their financial advisor but have never been offered information on this kind of approach to securing their financial futures. Mark has taken this feedback to heart and works tirelessly to ensure that his strategies focus on taxes and distribution.

As Owner and President of Affinity Asset Management and 20-plus year veteran of the industry, Mark’s philosophy throughout the years has been—and continues to be—“the blueprints are more important than the wallpaper or carpet.” The wallpaper and carpet represent products like investments and insurance policies, whereas the blueprints represent the strategies. Once strategies that truly fit the client’s needs are put in place, his focus can shift to providing them with the right products.
