LAMP, GAMA's annual Leadership and Management Program, is the financial services industry's premier annual meeting.

LAMP is where more than 3,000 field leaders and industry executives -representing more than 50 insurance, investment, and financial services companies from around the world- come to connect with colleagues, learn from the industry's best and brightest, and reinvigorate themselves for the coming year. It’s an annual must for those field leaders who are serious about working on their business, not just in it.

BPM



Advocis Best Practices Manual Tip:

 


Monitoring your client's situation will eliminate many problems before they occur, helping to reinforce your value while generating additional revenue opportunities. Be proactive by monitoring investment strategies to ensure they stay on track, reviewing asset allocation and rebalancing when necessary, staying abreast of their tax situation, and regularly reviewing insurance needs to confirm they are appropriate.

For more information about monitoring financial plans, please visit the Advice Delivery section of the BPM
