“Our Partners talked about their Firms, shared ideas and participated in roundtable discussions. In addition, we introduced two significant tools. First, we unveiled our new website, which features a suite of tools for both our Partners and Advisors. Secondly, we acquainted our Partners with our new CRM (Client Relationship Management) software. This modern system will help our Advisors better manage client data, communicate with clients more efficiently and offer them additional retirement and financial services,” according to Mark Skinner, President and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Retirement Partners.

“This meeting forces us to pause and reflect on last year’s results, as well as discuss our future strategic objectives,” said Bob Dughi, Executive Chairman of U.S. Retirement Partners.
