Bringing complexity into focus
Ron explains why agents should treat complexity as their signal to call in a resource from Advanced Markets and how partnering with such specialists can reinforce a client’s trust rather than undermine an advisor’s expertise. For more on this topic, see Michelle Owens’ recent article Time to bring in advanced markets.

Beyond the rider: How to discuss living benefits
Your best living benefits prospects may already be in your book of business.

Decisions you make about AI today propel tomorrow’s growth
AI is no longer optional for advisors — it’s become a competitive necessity. Brendon and Greg go beyond the “why” this is the new normal to share the simplest ways advisors can gain ROI quickly in this Off the Page segment, which also features Stevan Cohen of Lincoln Financial Distributors, who discusses the non-AI tools that remain critical across the sales cycle. The article that prompted the interview is available here.
Goup LTC is exploding — and Marc looks at the opportunity this creates for brokers and agents. He also shares conversation starters to make the topic more accessible and far more appealing to clients, expanding on his recent article A new gateway for advisors in the July/August issue of Aspire.
