The average financial advisor spends 60% of their time on non-client work for a profit margin that hovers around 2%. No wonder so many talented professionals feel stuck despite working harder than ever.
In a recent LinkedIn article, CEO Billy Hopkins breaks down the impact of Silver Oak’s Flywheel model, exploring how it creates compounding momentum for advisors rather than forcing them to fight constant friction.
