The need for the informative and dynamic delivery of information is an integral part of the new business model needed by advisors and retirement counselors to service the mid-market.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 enables employers to offer financial advice in the workplace at a time when 76 million baby boomers - most of them middle-income American workers - enter their retirement years. To productively and profitably serve those who need help making a successful transition and get the most of their retirement savings, advisors will need to adopt a new retirement counseling business model requiring employee attendance at workshops or seminars to help establish a knowledge base before meeting with retirement counselors face-to-face. The retirement counselor of the future will need effective presentation skills in order to best take advantage of the opportunity to gather and retain the retirement assets of the middle market.
