Imagine the credibility you would build with your clients if they received an announcement naming you as a winner of the 2014 Global Financial Planning Awards!

An article would appear in your local newspaper the next day and more press releases would go out to trade periodicals. Wouldn’t something like this help to further establish your reputation as a great financial planning advisor?

Three advisors somewhere in the world will have this experience in October.

Here’s the scoop. PlanPlus created these annual awards in 2013 to help enhance the credibility of the financial planning profession around the globe. Your entry is based on an already existing actual client plan (client identity is protected), and an international panel of distinguished judges, adjudicates the entries. To participate in the competition, and advisor must have worked with the client on a fiduciary basis, have a recognized financial planning designation, and be a member in good standing with a financial planning or other professional body or association.

There are three award winners, one from each of the following regions:

• The Americas
• Europe, including Australlia and New Zealand, and
• Asia, including Africa and the Middle East

The three regional winners will receive some great publicity, on top of receiving round-trip airfare, hotel accommodations, and entrance to the FPA Annual Conference in  (now called FPA BE) from Sept. 20-22nd in Seattle Washington.
