First Financial Security| LC17 | Leaders Convention 2017

Las Vegas’ Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa’s ballroom was packed Aug. 3-5 with excited First Financial Security associates. They were at the luxury resort property to attend Leaders Convention 2017 (LC17). During the three-day event, they learned how to better serve their clients and grow their independent businesses.

By all measures, LC17 was a success. Among those who attended were many for whom LC17 marked their first convention. Several speakers, including FFS executives and field leaders, industry experts, and carrier representatives shared their knowledge with attendees.

The event’s main focus was the RMD Base Shop – the Heart of Your Business. Topics explored included the base shop’s critical role to a successful business, growth strategies, and managing the base shop. A panel discussion centered on Base Shop Management and a new base shop training video made its debut. Both featured many of the company’s top and most successful leaders.

The event began on Wed., Aug. 2 with a bonus day that included FFS’ Field Leadership Council breakfast meeting. It was followed by FFS’ Champions Club luncheon and meeting for the company’s 70-plus, $100,000-ring earners. An informative LiSA Initiative meeting rounded out the afternoon.

Among the LC17 highlights were:
