Description
Brought to you by the Business Success Knowledge Circle: Rick Kahler began succession planning 13 years ahead of schedule, attended every workshop, followed every best practice, and fully expected the unexpected — yet nothing prepared him for the emotional depth, cultural upheaval, and personal loss of the real transition. This presentation reveals the untold, brutally honest human story behind succession planning.

FPA Lead Life Cycle Series - Module 3: Activate & Nurture: Turning Interest into Trust
Description
Interest is easy to lose. Once a prospect clicks, downloads, visits, or replies, the real question becomes: what happens next? In today’s client journey, engagement is not just about fast follow-up — it’s about responding with the right communication, the right value, and the right next step while attention is still there.
This session explores how firms can turn early intent into real momentum through timely outreach, meaningful content, and structured nurture.
We’ll look at how trust is built before commitment, where firms often lose good opportunities, and how activate and nurture work together to keep relationships moving forward with confidence.
What you’ll learn:
- How to respond when intent surfaces without losing momentum
- What timely, trust-building communication looks like in practice
- Where firms commonly fall short in follow-up and nurture
- How structured content and outreach build confidence before commitment
