Upgrade Your Retirement Plan – 5-Step Campaign
You know that the easiest way to increase AUM is to bring in additional investments from your existing clients. Double, triple or even quadruple the amount your clients contribute to a retirement plan by upgrading them to a Defined Benefit (DB) plan. You’ll be giving them a qualified plan with the highest contributions approved by the IRS. And they will be making large contributions every year!

Pull a list of 5 clients who are good defined benefit prospects — here’s how to find them:
-
Clients who have SEPs, SIMPLEs or individual 401(K)s with you already. They don’t have to be maxing out to be able to put more into a DB. With the defined benefit plan clients can potentially save a much higher percent of compensation in the plan. In general, look for clients who:
-
Are age 40+
-
Contribute >$30,000 a year
-
Continue to have income from small business or self-employment
