5 /5 Jimmy Tuholski: When you choose to work with Strategic Wealth Alliance, they become your financial advising family! For over 25 years my previous financial adviser barely called, never invited me out for happy hour, never took me to dinner, and never invited me to a client Christmas party. This all changed in 2019 when I made the decision to move all my financial needs to Strategic Wealth Alliance Shaun and Josh. Since moving to Strategic I am happy to say that my portfolio value has increased by more than 40%. On top of that 40% increase, I cannot begin to count how many Strategic happy hours I have been invited to attend. Nor can I count the number of times Strategic has taken me to dinner. In addition, every year since joining the Strategic family I have been invited to the client Christmas party. What a change in customer service from my old advisor compared to the Strategic Wealth Alliance family.
I admit that I met Shaun and Josh because my wife and I wanted a free meal at a really nice restaurant. We were more interested in the restaurant’s food than we were in hearing Strategics’ presentation. As the presentation began, I was impressed with Shaun’s directness. I like how he was up front on how he would get paid. I also liked how simple Shaun explained things. As my wife and I began listening more closely to Shaun and Josh’s presentation, we realized Shaun had just communicated with us more than our current advisor had in many years. Shaun explained, “When you allow Strategic to handle your financial investments, we guarantee you will be treated like family. We will invite you to happy hours to catch up. We will invite you to dinner often, and we will invite you to our yearly Christmas party.” The concept of my financial advisor reaching out to me often to stay connected caused me to make an appointment with Strategic. I was told exactly how to prepare for my meeting as to not waste both of our time. The meeting went very well, and the rest is history.
Above and beyond any expectation, I have Josh to thank for helping my family after devastating hurricane Irma. After Irma, our home and property had a lot of damage. Strategic did not just call and let me know I was in their prayers. Strategic “Josh” showed up at my home to help. Yes, my financial advisor arrived at my home and spent the entire day busting his butt with my family helping clean up the devastation. The Strategic Wealth Alliance family are the kind of people I think everyone would like to handle their finances.
After you read my review, ask yourself when the last time your current advisor called you or physically invited you to a happy hour, or dinner, or a cool event, or a Christmas party? Do you think your financial advisor cares about you or cares about the money they will make off you? If it has been more than six months since you heard from your advisor that is not good. Know that while you were thinking about your answer, I most likely got another invitation to physically meet up with my Strategic Wealth Alliance family. If you choose to become part of the Strategic family, you will be very happy with the financial rewards and with the personal family touch.
I hope to see you at one of the happy hours or at least the Christmas party, Jim Tuholski.
