“Duncan, I just wanted to thank you for coming to speak to us at the Greater Oakbrook Chapter of the FPA. Your talk was exceptional! My hand still hurts from taking so many notes that I’m convinced will raise my service to my clients. You were exactly right when you wrapped up your comments. You provided me with insight to new ideas as well as validated some of the things I’m already doing. Thanks again, it was great seeing what a Canadian looks like.”
“I have hired Duncan three separate times to speak to RIAs, independent financial advisors and CPAs. He has a uniquely engaging and memorable style that captivates advisors, helping them understand how they can be liberated from their businesses while doing the right thing for their clients. What Duncan teaches is not revolutionary, but adoption of the proven Pareto process dramatically changes advisors’ lives. In fact, each advisor that engaged with Pareto and Duncan after hearing him speak has thanked me for introducing him and ‘saving their practices and their sanity.’”
“I have had two events at which Duncan spoke. The first was in Charlotte, NC for UBS and the second was in Atlanta which was open to all advisors. Both of these meetings were very well attended and the feedback from Advisors was amazing. It seems folks couldn’t get enough of Duncan’s ideas and were starving for more. I will be attending a Merrill Lynch Top Advisor meeting next week. We are sponsoring Duncan to speak there as well. I expect that the response will be the same from those Advisors too….”
