Financial Advisor Training Program

Our team at Good Life understands the importance of training prior to transitioning and understands the importance of having a post transition training period. This all-encompassing training program makes certain our advisors are prepared to onboard and are prepared to run their practice efficiently following their transition. The post transition period insures a smooth hand off to the advisor and their staff. It is done in format so they can run their business on their own following the completion of the work done by the transition team at Good Life.

The first training item that takes place is a pre-transition call. This occurs once the advisor is approved by LPL and signs the Good Life offer letter. This call gives our transition team an opportunity to gain a full understanding of the advisor’s practice and provides the team the chance to outlay the various account types, what can and can’t move, and discuss how the full transition process with the advisor. For advisors that want to do a home office visit, these items are reviewed in person.
