It's faster and easier to connect with potential customers via text than any other form of communication, so it's clear that if you haven't added text messaging to your sales and marketing process, you should. The stats all support the advantages: 99% of texts are opened (compare that to 20% in email marketing), text messages are read within five seconds on average, and text can lead to almost 300% more "yes" responses. So, in this episode, we'll go over ways to add text messaging to your sales process and discuss some best practices.

Ed has studied retirement planning for decades, and he believes that there is a hidden threat to untaxed retirement savings in the US that is being overlooked. He refers to the threat as a ticking time bomb, and unfortunately, when it blows up—and it will—the dreams of an easy and secure retirement for millions of conscientious Americans will go with it. He explains the doomsday scenario like this: The US has a national debt exceeding $28 trillion, which is growing every day. The cost of the pandemic has only made the situation worse. And the day is coming when the government will need to pay this debt down. The only option will be to raise taxes thus increasing the amount of your retirement accounts that will be tapped. Anyone, regardless of their political affiliation, who tells you otherwise is either lying or has their head in the sand. In retirement, it's what you keep that counts.
