Learning Series & Materials:


We've developed an ongoing Learning Series to make certain that each coaching client has a strong understanding of the New World Advisor - Today's Industry Elite. This action-packed Learning Series is delivered electronically throughout the Performance Coaching process. It includes the following resources...

EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS: Matt Oechsli explains the various components of our New World Advisor Model in these instructional video clips. We have also included a series of Power Talks; short inspiration messages interspersed throughout the year.

eGUIDES:
These electronic workbooks are filled with ideas on running an elite financial practice. Built from our 21st Century Financial Practice In-a-Box (retails for $495), these guides are very comprehensive - covering such areas as affluent client acquisition, client loyalty, business planning, practice management, team leadership and much, much more.

AUDIO GUIDES: Linked to the comprehensive eGuides, these audio instructional recordings are great for reinforcing the strategies used by top producers.

HANDOUTS & ARTICLES: The Oechsli Institute consistently produces articles, worksheets and performance tools to help financial professionals better attract, service and develop loyal affluent clients. We've added a sampling of these resources to this learning series to make certain you have everything you need to perform at a high level.
