The Academy&#8217;s aim is to help financial advisors who want to<br \/>\nreach MDRT&#8217;s top-level qualification requirements.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Without<br \/>\nthe right resources, succeeding in the financial services profession is<br \/>\nextremely challenging. In fact, according to LIMRA<a name=\"_ftnref1\" title=\"\">[1]<\/a>, \u00a0a worldwide research, consulting and<br \/>\nprofessional development organisation, more than 80% of new professionals leave<br \/>\nthe industry after just four years.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The<br \/>\nsituation is made more difficult with the onset of COVID-19 and its far-reaching<br \/>\nimpact across economies and livelihoods. MDRT created the MDRT Academy to help<br \/>\nchange that, providing a borderless, digital support system for advisors around<br \/>\nthe world.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Now<br \/>\navailable to qualifying advisors in Malaysia, the MDRT Academy is a fully<br \/>\ndigital association that provides its members with the resources they need to<br \/>\nlearn best practices, sharpen and develop skills, increase their production and<br \/>\nachieve success.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Digital by design<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">While other industry organisations continue to adapt to the<br \/>\nvirtual world, the MDRT Academy was built for it. All of its available resources<br \/>\nand community are accessed through a mobile application and website. The<br \/>\nconcept was field-tested by financial advisors and corporate participants over<br \/>\na three-year pilot phase. Throughout that time, beta members engaged with the<br \/>\nresources, provided feedback and helped shape new offerings.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;As a young financial advisor aspiring to get to the next level, the MDRT<br \/>\nAcademy app was the perfect tool,&#8221; said Brandon Heckert, former MDRT Academy<br \/>\nmember and current MDRT member. &#8220;It allowed me to keep track of my goals and<br \/>\nobtain the resources I needed to conduct my practice in a tech-focused world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Access to the best<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">MDRT understands that to help financial advisors grow, the MDRT<br \/>\nAcademy&#8217;s offerings need to show them what it takes to succeed. The Academy<br \/>\nAssessment welcomes members and helps them better understand and identify their<br \/>\nstrength and growth areas. Weekly Growth Plans then deliver personalised resources<br \/>\nbased on the results.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">MDRT Academy content, which includes articles, videos, podcast<br \/>\nepisodes and Performance Guides, is all MDRT-original or MDRT-approved. The<br \/>\ncontent topics are broken up across four areas of focus that MDRT Academy has<br \/>\nidentified as being key to success: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Marketing your practice<\/li>\n<li>Advising your clients<\/li>\n<li>Managing your business <\/li>\n<li>Developing yourself<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"left\">Academy members also gain access to MDRT members and other<br \/>\nindustry leaders and can connect with them in the app&#8217;s community and during<br \/>\nmonthly Webcasts.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Prioritised for performance<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The MDRT Academy also offers goal-setting and performance-tracking<br \/>\nfeatures. Members can choose from more than 100 personal and professional<br \/>\ngoals, see what&#8217;s trending among their peers and industry leaders, and create<br \/>\ncustom goals specific to their life and practice. Those who are at higher levels<br \/>\nof production can gain even more insights to fuel growth through an opportunity<br \/>\nto attend an MDRT meeting.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;I wish I had the MDRT Academy when I was first starting out,&#8221;<br \/>\nsaid MDRT President Ian Green, DipPFS. &#8220;There&#8217;s no doubt in my mind that it will<br \/>\nsupport financial advisors in Malaysia to improve their business faster and<br \/>\nbecome better at customer service sooner, especially during challenging times<br \/>\nlike what we&#8217;re experiencing today. There&#8217;s no finer resource to gain a fast<br \/>\ntrack to MDRT qualification.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Membership now open<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The MDRT Academy is available to advisors who do not yet qualify for MDRT,<br \/>\nand reside in the United States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica,<br \/>\nMalaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
