Eric Alexander

 

Eric Alexander
Eric Alexander focuses on maximizing the value of a client's financial potential through an economics-based approach to planning. While most advisors focus solely on how we invest. The true start to maximizing financial potential is avoiding the largest and most common mistakes people make with their money. This includes: how we pay for homes and businesses, how we fund qualified plans, how we pay for college and how we fund major capital purchases.

Hope is never a strategy and you will never win the financial game by accident. Eric's goal is to help business owners and individuals implement proven, economic based strategies that allow them to win the game . . . no matter what happens.

Tim Parker

 

 

Tim Parker
Program Director for Customer Service Projects. Internal and external customers deserve your best. Sometimes you do not have the hours or the headcount to stay focused on the service side of the business—I can help. My success as a store manager for Neiman Marcus was built on the customer:

  • Listening
  • Understanding
  • Responding

I was able to translate that customer experience into Direct Sales with BeautiControl, Tupperware, The Pampered Chef, and most recently, as a Marketing Consultant with several clients. Giving the customer a better experience through events, meetings, recognition programs, incentive promotions and leadership development has given me experience to handle most any project or program that touches the customer.
