    In retirement planning, free seminars to the public are a proven way to attract prospects and convert them to clients. But for financial planning seminars to be successful, you must first determine what topics will interest your ideal client.

Consider partnering with subject matter experts on topics of importance to people approaching retirement in a “Retirement Transitions Series.” By offering free, educational financial planning seminars, you position yourself as a helpful resource in your community. You’ll be seen as the retirement expert, overseeing all aspects of retirement financial planning.
