Eight Key Focus Areas

Recruiting cea

Teaming

People are the most important factor to the success of a small business. Most of us entered into this business to help clients accomplish their goals and financial aspirations, not to be small business owners who lead, inspire, and manage a team. At some point along the way, we realize that the people supporting the business of helping clients attain their financial planning visions are just as important as the clients themselves.  

At J.W. Cole we can provide you the process, education, and resources to help you build the team structure that can best help your business reach the next level.
