We’re two weeks removed from *Ascend*, IAMS’ first-ever virtual kick-off event. Looking back, we consider the event to be a great success and would like to thank everyone who made it possible. The presentations at *Ascend* covered a wide array of industry-relevant topics. Among the event’s main focal points was one we can all benefit from – marketing.

Are you still unsure about your 2021 marketing plan? It’s early in the year, but that’s no reason to move forward with an incomplete strategy. *Ascend* offered numerous presentations designed to help you avoid that pitfall.

#### **Prospecting in 2021**

Like all other aspects of business, producers have been forced to take a different approach to prospecting over the last year. *Ascend* features several presentations that cover those new approaches. Including:

- Preset Virtual Appointments
- Effectively Working Digital Leads
- Discussing Annuities with Clients & Prospects

#### **Digital Business/Marketing**

The new normal has seen the world of digital marketing evolve faster than ever. No matter how immersed you’ve been in virtual business, these changes can be difficult to track. *Ascend* offers best practices and insights you keep up with the times. Presentations include:

- Facebook and LinkedIn Best Practices
- Digital Marketing Best Practices
- Doing Business Virtually

#### **Of course, that’s not all *Ascend* has to offer.**

Our Producer’s Corner covers a wide array of topics such as annuity client solutions, finding new assets for your business, managing client relationships, effectively working digital leads, and more.

Over the course of three days, we were joined by industry sponsors who support our mission to develop, enhance, and grow our client’s businesses. We encourage you to check out our exhibitor’s gallery, which includes an overview of our sponsors’ offerings. Additionally, you can watch two great vendor presentations—one on SOFA (the Society for Financial Awareness) and one on Stonewood Financials’ IUL illustration tool—by visiting the on-demand videos section of the Ascend portal.
