The owners of Succession Institute are proud to introduce you to three of their recently published books; two on succession and one on becoming a trusted business advisor. Firms with the most successful succession strategies begin planning well before partners are ready to retire. To help firms develop long term succession planning goals and processes, and create an infrastructure that is built for sustainability, we are confident that our succession series will offer plenty of food for thought. However, if your focus right now is on enhancing client loyalty (to better retain your good clients), increasing revenues (to find new opportunities to help your existing clients) and training your people on how to better live up to the trusted business advisor role, we think our new book on Becoming a Trusted Advisor will shine a spotlight on creating a path to get you where you want to go. securingthefuture_copy.jpg
