Would you rather walk through 37,000 different financial scenarios with your clients or review a one page sheet simplifying the financial plan? Not to mention having the ability to showcase what really matters to your clients.

In this episode, Shannon Rosic, director of WealthStack Content and Solutions, is joined by Carl Richards, chief brand officer of Elements, in discussing how the company provides advisors a way to capture vital client data quickly and easily, and ultimately present a holistic picture of their financial life in a tangible and understandable way.

Shannon and Carl discuss:

• How Elements is modernizing the traditional financial planning model
  
• What is the goal of the one-page-plan (OPP) and how they benefit advisors and their clients
  
• Why they’re focused on building a client centric mobile app and overall engaging experience
  
• What makes Elements ‘nudge’ capabilities different from any of the other CRM providers and other planning providers
