This document discusses how advisors can choose the right wholesalers to partner with. It provides 8 ways for advisors to know they have partnered with the right wholesaler, including that the wholesaler knows the advisor's background and goals, adds real value beyond just products, has a great internal partner, can effectively present to clients, plans cooperatively with the advisor, follows through on commitments, and has strong knowledge of the products. The document advises advisors to use these criteria to evaluate wholesalers and find the most impactful partners.

6 best practices in stakeholder engagementWayne Dunn
I recently did a piece on 5 mistakes companies make in stakeholder engagement and many of you asked me to give a list of best practices. Here are six.
1. Think Value and Interests – and do it transparently
2. It’s OK to disagree – but, disagree without being disagreeable. And stay curious
3. Do compliance but think and act strategic – check the boxes yes, but that is just the foundation
4. Share the credit, multiply the resources. Find partners!
5. Communicate so you are heard and understood.
6. Define stakeholders broadly and strategically – go beyond compliance

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Eight Ways to Know You’ve
Partnered With the Right Wholesaler
How do you choose the right product-partner solution for your business?
By Rob Shore
The power of choice — it’s a fundamental part of our free
society. And yet the ability to have unlimited choices can be
positively paralyzing.
For example, the last time I went to Target I got tooth decay
just standing in the aisle trying to decide which of the 113
flavor and size varieties of Crest® toothpaste I should buy. In the
soup section I became weak from hunger reading through the
30-plus flavors of Campbell’s® soup.
As an advisor you have the power of choice regarding with
which product providers you choose to partner.
Unfortunately, too may advisors simply don’t know what
constitutes a great wholesaler who deserves your business, as
opposed to the average suit carrying the similar briefcase and
floating in the Sea of Wholesaler Sameness.
Here’s what you should look for in the wholesalers with
whom you intend to form meaningful, reciprocal relationships:
1. They know the backstory. These are the wholesalers who
come to your office and have done their homework. They
have taken the time to research you, your background and
your practice. They use this investigative work to get to your
issues — and to get to a possible relationship far faster than
the wholesaler who begins the meeting with,“Tell me about
your business.”
2. They ask for and understand your goals. Way too many
wholesalers are me focused when they should be you focused.
The very best in the business stay trained on your goals,
your clients and your outcomes. They uncover these goals
and clarify their nuances by asking great questions — and
then effectively listening to your answers.

Handbook.

PRACTICE MANAGEMENT partner with the
right wholesaler
3. They add real value. Great wholesalers can articulate what they
bring to your practice that extends beyond product and service.
They have a Peerless Value Proposition® (PVP) that demon-
strates how they can add to your bottom line. Advisors and their
best wholesalers often form relationships that last for years, and
it’s unlikely that the foundation of their periodic discussions is
strictly limited to product.
4. They have a great inside partner. You are far more likely to
establish a mutually productive relationship with a product
partner if that partner has a terrific internal wholesaler. As the
day-to-day contact, he or she becomes a pivotal part of the rela-
tionship you have with the product provider. The best internal
wholesalers act as the concierge, ambassador, chief troubleshooter
and purveyor of extraordinary knowledge.
5. They face off well with your clients. While not all advisors
choose to avail themselves of the opportunity, having wholesalers
who are both knowledgeable and polished in front of your clients
is a most valuable trait. The best of the best will help you close
the toughest of cases and make you look like a hero while doing
so.
6. They plan cooperatively. If your best wholesaling partners are
not formally sitting down to discuss the goals and objectives you
have for the next quarter or year, and how they can bring ideas
and resources to help you achieve those goals, reevaluate your
wholesaler choices. If they are there to serve you, and the greatest
know they are, then they should have a keen interest in the plans
for your practice and how they can assist.
7. They follow through relentlessly. Wholesalers who make
idle promises are a dime a dozen. They think nothing of over
promising and under delivering. Seek out wholesalers who under-
stand that a commitment is a contract and needs to be fulfilled.
Wholesalers who do what they say they are going to do when
they say they are going to do it are valuable partners indeed.
8. They know their product. Sounds obvious, perhaps, but great
wholesalers know the finest details of the products they repre-
sent; and if they are unsure of one of those details, they always
defer the question until they can consult others to deliver the cor-
rect answer. In addition, wholesalers who can deftly describe the
attributes of their product, thoughtfully compared to the features
and benefits of a competitor’s products, should earn high praise.
Since the Great Recession and subsequent recovery, there has been
a resurgence in the number of wholesalers combing the countryside.
That means your job of selecting the right product-partner solution
has become more complex. Use the points outlined herein to help
distill your choices down to the most impactful partners you can find
to bring true value to your practice.

Building a financial services business today is a
journey that requires significant creative develop-

life insurance landscape evolves. I believe we’ve
come a long way and that we can collectively
transition and adapt to succeed within the new
environment. Once your core leadership team is in
place and proprietary databases and core analytical
tools are operational, you can begin to develop
strong relationships with your affiliated networks

you into new disciplines, but with proper plan-
ning, your team should be ready to capitalize on
significant opportunities.
