Retire Ready Solutions

Retire Ready Solutions Helping Financial Advisors educate clients about retirement. At Retire Ready Solutions. We specialized in the Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA) education market.

http://www.retireready.com we build partnerships with broker-dealers, independent financial advisors, registered representatives and registered investment advisors across America with The Retirement Analysis Kit (TRAK), the vivid and robust retirement illustration software we create at our Dallas, Oregon headquarters. TRAK financial planning software is widely viewed as the gold standard of retire

ment illustration software for advisors because it is designed for the real-life prospecting and selling situations that advisors encounter. Our company was founded in 1986 as a financial services firm called The Annuity People. As a sales rep firm, one of our biggest challenges was giving our clients a clear and unbiased picture of their retirement needs as quickly as possible. We developed TRAK retirement illustration software based on the marketplace needs we uncovered in our everyday selling practices. We began marketing TRAK software to other advisors and, based on its proven usefulness in daily sales calls, our platform quickly became the leading worksite tool for marketing, sales, illustration and analysis for professional retirement planners. In 1990, the company began focusing exclusively on designing, manufacturing and marketing TRAK software. Since then, MetLife, Hartford, Nationwide Insurance and thousands of independent financial advisors have used TRAK software and reported increases in their average case size of up to 34 percent. In July 2006, our company became known as Trust Builders, Inc. Our new name reflects the evolution of retirement services away from rapid transactions toward lifelong relationships based on trust. That is the way advisors must serve their clients—and that is our model for serving advisors. In January 2007, Edward Dressel, who had held various development and marketing positions with the company since 1988, became president and owner of Trust Builders. In July 2017, we changed our company name to Retire Ready Solutions in order to more clearly reflect the products and services we provide to advisors helping individuals prepare for retirement. We have expanded our software so that we can now serve 401(k) advisors and advisors in the federal employee marketplace while continuing to serve advisors in the 403(b) marketplace. As an added service, we now partner with broker dealers to customize aspects of our software so that it better meets the needs of their representatives. Please contact us today to learn more about TRAK and tell us how we can better serve you. Your success is our success. Now Try TRAK - Online Sign-up Here http://online.asktrak.com

How do your client meetings go? Have you ever spent the time and effort to create a retirement plan for your clients, walked them through the plan, only to see their eyes glaze over, and responded with “We’ll think about it”? In meetings like these, you are not connecting well with your clients. They don’t understand the value you provide, and so will find it hard to engage in the retirement planning process. You have the expertise, now you need the right tools to help you do your job. https://retireready.com/solutions/
