“The decision tree format has been immensely helpful. The design is very simple and elegant.”

— Deirdre, an advisor in Massachusetts

“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”

— An advisor in Texas

“The white-label feature in Deluxe is really fantastic. It is really powerful to talk through the decision tree with a client with our logo & color options on the chart, frankly, because it makes us look smarter!”

— Bill, an advisor in New York

“The charts are probably as much value to me (as advisor) as they are when given to a specific client. I know and understand the topics covered, but it can be a lot faster to refresh with a quick glance at the chart’s decision tree vs having to read through regulations”

— Larry, an advisor in Oregon
