Mark Zinder Speaking Topics

  • The 6 Common Traits of the Most Successful Financial Advisors: Navigating and overcoming the roadblocks to success

    For over six years Mark Zinder was employed as the national spokesman for one of the most respected money managers in the world, Sir John Templeton.

    During this time Mark would be asked to speak on behalf of Sir John Templeton at locations around the world. Quite often, these trips were designed to reward some of the top producers in the financial industry. After his presentation, Mark would often speak individually and continue to correspond with these high-level producers. The most often discussed topic was, “Out of all the financial advisors in the United States (roughly 600,000 of them) what is it that you do that makes you one of the best?” Over the years of interacting with these advisors and evaluating what makes them successful Mark has pinpointed the common traits of the most successful advisors in the country.

    In this high energy, thought provoking presentation you will hear the insightful observations from Mark, who was in the trenches and learned from the people achieving the highest levels of success. In this presentation, you will learn:

    • A sales process that works in today’s environment
    • That clients want to be taught not told
    • How to talk in real time
    • That facts tell but stories sell

  • What Happens Next?: Looking Backwards to See into the Future

    We live in increasingly uncertain times; rapid economic changes, global unrest, and bi-partisan bickering have all lead to an underlying sense of uncertainty. In addition to the current climate, headlines are screaming that robots and artificial intelligence are going to eliminate worker’s jobs.

    What if they are all wrong? What if we are merely extrapolating the present and ignoring the possibilities of the future? History books are full of examples of previous revolutions that came and went: the industrial revolution, the railroad revolution, electrification, mass production, and now, quite possibly, the information technology revolution. In this presentation, you will discover how we are nearing the end of this revolution while another is just beginning, providing a fresh wave of prosperity. Now is the time to ask yourself, “What Happens Next”? In this presentation, you will learn:

    • How history repeats itself will continue to do so in the future.
    • How the evolution of a revolution unfolds and how it has always unfolded in the exact same manner.
    • The eight steps that make up a revolution and the number of years it takes to complete the cycle.
    • Why there are reasons to be optimistic about tomorrow.
