Highlights from 2010 Spring Summit in Boston, MA
April 29 – May 2, 2010
Boston, Massachusetts was home to the Academy's 2010 Spring Summit. Jaynie Smith’s keynote speech, Creating Competitive Advantage, set the tone for the Summit. Her session instantly had Members analyzing their firm and how to distinguish themselves.
The educational sessions at the Summit were among the best in Academy history. The Academy was privileged to have an entire afternoon with Natalie Choate, the leading speaker on estate and distribution planning for retirement benefits. Her sessions included Understanding the Minimum Distribution Rules, Death and Taxes: The Inherited Retirement Plan and 194 Best and Worst Planning Ideas for Your Clients Retirement Benefits. The Academy updated the Membership on the importance of Social Media and Social Networking. This session sparked a lot of conversation among attendees and is a topic that will be touched upon at future events.
The highly anticipated introduction and training of CounselPro™ 6.0 was presented to the attendees in the Breakout Room. The newest version was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from Members’ firms. It allowed for great feedback, sharing and dialogue among members, which is one of the greatest benefits of Academy Summits.
Members left Boston energized and ready to return to the office and begin practicing what was learned over the week. The Academy looks forward to another great Summit in the fall of 2010 in San Diego.
“The marketing is ingenious. Stick with the call-to-action marketing at least until you are very well established in the community. It is tried and true and will give you a steady flow of clients. The same is true of the seminar presentation. Whenever another attorney tells me he or she is thinking about doing seminars, I encourage them to do it because I know they will spend a lot of money to get a few people into a seminar where they will give a disjointed, lengthy seminar all the while talking over the heads of the attendees. They will not quote fees or come to a proper close and will realize few if any clients as a result. My results are the complete opposite.
The documents are complete and without rival. The education is superb as is the customer service, collegiality and professionalism.”
