"Strategic Planning 2009" Presented by The French Group

Our global economy has been hit by a financial tsunami that is unlike anything in the past; it has shaken the world's economic system and we can expect to feel the aftershocks for some time to come. Because of this, 2009 will be a very different year than 2008 and many brokers are asking what impact this will have on their business.

Most analysts are predicting:

• A hard market
• An economic downturn
• Capacity issues with some carriers
• Plus increased challenges in retaining talented resources as many boomers decide now is a good time to retire

To help you make sense of these recent events and to learn ways to update your business plan, join us on Thursday, December 4th at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North. Spend the day putting the events of 2008 in perspective and learn proactive steps that brokerages can take to ensure that 2009 is a successful one.
