Credibility
Right now, your best prospects don’t know you exist. But with our done-for-you Authority program, you have an exclusive opportunity to be positioned as an authority on retirement strategies, get noticed by high-value prospects and turn them into long-term clients.
Authority Boost helps you build credibility with a custom branded book focused on either Social Security or tax strategies. You get media promotion through an interview on an award-winning podcast, a multi-media press release, coaching on how to use Authority marketing in your practice, and access to additional tools and resources.
Authority Blast is for financial professionals who want to be positioned as an authority through a robust multi-media strategy including multiple full-length feature interviews on the “Influential Entrepreneurs” podcast, press releases, and more.
Authority Blast Plus enhances Authority Blast by adding a TV interview on Fox 47 News*, an Authority Branding Graphics Package with a virtual meeting background, and AI-generated promotional assets including: podcast shownotes, transcripts and summaries, social media posts, titles and pre-written articles for blog posts or LinkedIn.
Launch Your Own Podcast and amplify your authority. You record the podcast and the rest of the technical details are done for you. You’ll become discoverable online so you can more easily reach your target market and communicate the value you can deliver.

Testimonials
“I was nervous as all get-out that this was going to be a complete inconvenience, and we weren’t going to be able to get through without distracting ourselves from everything we needed to get done, but that wasn’t the case. The whole system itself is professionally done and makes it easy to go from point A to point B and get these authority marketing tools in your hand. But you can’t do this by itself and expect your phone to start ringing and community banging down your door. For example, we’re doing workshops, podcasts, drip email campaigns to existing and prospective clients, using these tools to retarget existing clients and earning referrals because they consider us authorities.”
– Mark
“After going through the process, it’s a big benefit now that we have this book. Not only for potential clients but existing clients—it gives them the assurance that we’re doing what we say we’re doing. It gives us authority with existing clients and prospective clients who haven’t reached out yet. I’m excited to see what it does for us this year.”
