“Empowering you to create and fulfill your vision through innovative and inspirational initiatives.”

The moment you become a NEXT representative, you’ll understand what it means to be truly supported by a group dedicated to seeing you achieve your goals and vision.

Through 4WARD Financial Marketing, Inc. (an affiliate of NEXT), you benefit from programs, tools, assistance and services designed to help you do more.

Our Home Town Marketing program provides personalized marketing support directly to you in your local area and includes helpful services such as Consulting, Mentoring, Seminar Assistance and The Knowledge Network. We also provide you with many samples of professionally designed brochures you can customize with your personal information, and print according to your needs.

For those who have shown a commitment to marketing and are ready to reach the NEXT level, we offer the Home Town Marketing Advanced Marketing Program. This prestigious program includes Exclusive VIP Events that are large-scale and high-quality. These events feature a well know talent that may range from a noted motivational speaker to a sports figure or a musical group, and provide you an opportunity to invite your special guests; whether it is a client, prospect, strategic alliance or potential recruit.

The NEXT Challenge is a comprehensive training, coaching and mentoring program that has been created exclusively for NEXT's OSJ Managers and registered representatives. Whether you are looking to increase your production, increase your bottom-line through efficient business processing, increase the value of your practice by converting to a fee-based business or streamlining your office so you can take more time off for yourself, the NEXT Challenge is here to help you meet your personal goals.

To help guide you to success, we offer Education and Regional Roundtables. Throughout the year, you benefit from coaching calls and web seminars that deliver essential marketing and growth for financial professionals. You’ll learn how to successfully transition to a fee-based practice, how to hire the right sales assistant, alternative investments, and the distribution phase of retirement. In addition, NEXT coordinates regional events that give you the opportunity to hear from other representatives what initiatives have been successful in the growth of their practice.

"We really appreciate all the efforts of everyone involved in putting their best foot forward to help us. It comes down to value-added service. With Home Town Marketing we have had personal coaching, put together a 5-year business plan broken down to weekly and monthly goals, mapped out our target market, set in motion a seminar schedule and we are working on a succession plan. Home Town marketing has been very instrumental in our seminar success to the point of millions of investable assets. I have never experienced any broker/dealer put this much effort into a broker’s success. It is so obvious that NEXT gets it that we are all partners in business."
