    Testimonials from past Summer Program attendees

    This class was awesome! It gave me a ton of confidence in the software and I feel like I can take on more sophisticated goals for the clients, like moving money to a policy and seeing how they will have more spendable income in the later years. I wish I had taken something like this years ago. It forced me to grow, and gave me the assurance that I was using the software correctly.

    This is course imperative for everyone! I not only learned how to model specific strategies, but how to use the entire system on a whole different level!

    There is nothing out there that competes with the accuracy of spending game. Not even close. And clients love it
