Recently I was describing to the president of a distributor what we do at Wholesaler Masterminds. I explained that we operate ‘in the cracks’ of wholesaling. We coach on the most granular details of our craft. Recent topic have included Navigating The NO, So What – Why You?, Getting COIs To Love You, and The Best Ways to Engage Advisors…Fast.
Last night I received an email from a coaching client that said: I’ve already qualified for the awards conference for this year—-first time ever. Thank you for your help!!!!

ALL display pots and plants / vote on most colorful, best design, etc…
Wine/dinner event where wines are made/ bottled/ named/labeled by teams made of tables of 10 & judged by the winery owner at dinner followed by a breif presentation.

To any wholesaler , I would caution to think through any event with your B/D and OSJ. There are strict FINRA limitations on dollars spent as “gifts” and indirect compensation that are not directly related to business. Some of these limits are cumulative and new “best practices” at many B/Ds do not allow some events that might have gone on in the “old days”. The best practice for any wholesaler is to fully describe the event, the business intent, the aggregate and per head estimate of cost; and, submit in advance to your own and the invitees B/D for approval. Rather be safe than sorry. I have heard of events being called off the morning of because a B/D was not informed.

Great point Tom.
In fact, we always suggest making certain that your compliance department, b/d management, immediate supervisor, etc., etc. are in the loop, as appropriate, before implementing any of the many business building suggestions you’ll find here at Wholesaler Masterminds.

Thanks for stopping by Jim. That headline was a sample topic from our coaching program, not a post.
