Flynn Wright, a marketing agency in Des Moines, Iowa, is conducting a survey among financial advisors across the U.S. to explore the dynamics of how advisors are meeting their clients’ needs, how these needs are evolving, and what advisors are focused on as they grow their careers. Our study seeks feedback from tenured and new-to-the-industry advisors as everyone’s perspective is important for uncovering trends in the industry.

What is the Study’s Focus?

• Development and Growth: Exploring advisors’ pathways for getting into the business and where they’ve encountered challenges.
• Connection and Community: Identifying resources that advisors use, including professional networks.
• Client Dynamics and Trends: Understanding common client needs and how industry trends may be impacting these needs.
• Succession Planning: Exploring how advisors are planning for the future.

Key Details

• Our study is completely anonymous. All responses will remain confidential, and no one will be identified through any of their own information.
• Our survey does not ask for any specific details about advisors’ clients.
• By completing the survey, advisors will receive a $10 gift card from Tremendous, which has a library of hundreds of redeemable choices at retailers, restaurants and entertainment options throughout the U.S. Gift cards will be distributed to respondents who have completed the survey, after we’ve fielded the survey.
