FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is The Path to MDRT™, and how is it different from other MDRT training programmes?
The Path to MDRT™ is a high-performance, brand-driven growth system designed specifically for financial planners operating in the Age of AI.
Unlike traditional MDRT training programmes that focus on motivation, scripts, or isolated skills, this ecosystem builds the full set of capabilities required for consistent production, including:
- Performance mindset and execution discipline
- Personal branding and trust-based positioning
- Social selling and consultative sales mastery
- AI-driven content, marketing, and productivity
- Client loyalty and lifetime value growth
It is not a one-off course.
It is a structured pathway designed to help planners reach MDRT, sustain MDRT, and scale toward COT and TOT with clarity and confidence.
2. Is The Path to MDRT™ suitable for both new planners and experienced MDRT achievers?
Yes. The Path to MDRT™ is intentionally designed to support multiple performance stages.
- Pre-MDRT planners gain structure, confidence, and modern selling capability
- MDRT achievers strengthen repeat performance and consistency
- COT / TOT aspirants build leverage through brand authority, strategic selling, and client lifetime value
The ecosystem is delivered in two tracks:
- The High-Performance Path (individual production and growth)
- Agency Advanced Programmes (leadership, culture, and scale)
This ensures planners grow in the right sequence, without overreaching too early.
3. How is AI used in The Path to MDRT™ programmes?
AI is integrated as a performance and productivity advantage, not as automation that replaces human judgement.
Across the programmes, AI is used to support:
- Sales preparation and conversation clarity
- Content creation without sounding generic
- Social selling personalisation and relevance
- Performance reflection and decision-making
- Client insight, loyalty, and personalisation
Importantly, all AI usage is designed for trust-based, regulated financial environments, ensuring professionalism, credibility, and compliance are maintained at all times.
4. How much does The Path to MDRT™ cost? What are the pricing options?
The investment for The Path to MDRT™ varies depending on:
- Number of planners or leaders involved
- Programmes selected (Track 1, Track 2, or both)
- Delivery format (keynote, masterclass, rollout, or advisory)
- Level of customisation required
There is no fixed “one-size-fits-all” price, as the ecosystem is designed to align with specific performance goals and organisational needs.
Most organisations engage through:
- A High-Performance Path rollout
- A Full Ecosystem rollout
- Or a customised pathway and advisory engagement
A short alignment conversation is recommended to determine the most effective and commercially sensible approach.
5. How do organisations typically get started with The Path to MDRT™?
Organisations usually begin with a discovery and alignment conversation, not immediate enrolment.
This allows us to:
- Understand current MDRT, COT, or TOT objectives
- Identify performance gaps and growth priorities
- Recommend the most relevant programmes and sequence
- Design a practical rollout aligned to production cycles
This ensures the pathway is strategic, realistic, and outcome-driven — not generic or rushed.
