The Continuing Education Strategy That Built a Multi-Million Dollar Insurance Practice

Описание: Most advisors rely on referrals. Eddie built a system that generates 2,000 qualified leads a month. Callan Harrington sits down with Eddie Knezevich, President & CEO of NLF Partners, to break down the continuing education engine that transformed his wealth management practice. What began as a small, three-person event in Newark, Ohio has evolved into a scalable machine driving consistent inbound growth.

Eddie shares the tactical details behind his process-driven approach, from surveying audiences to build relevant CE content to converting webinar attendees into scheduled consultations. He also covers multi-state expansion, compliance hurdles, and the infrastructure required to support a 12-advisor team managing billions in assets, along with the lessons learned from a decade of refining one focused strategy into a predictable growth system.

This episode is a practical look at building systems that work without you, and how a decade of refining one focused strategy can create predictable, scalable growth.
