Testimonials

"I have known and respected Hank Whiffen for many years. I recently introduced him to an attorney in New York, who is the head of Citibank's Private Banking/Estate Planning Division. After viewing examples of Hank's planning, he said that he had never seen planning at that level. He then personally introduced Hank to one of their key clients, who has a net worth of $1.2 Billion. If you want to increase both your level of income and also your level of professional respect, he can help you get there."
Harold Wilshinsky, CLU, ChFC, TOT Member, Past President NY State LUA
 
 
For a number of years I have had an association with Hank Whiffen. Hank has been at the forefront of the financial planning revolution, specializing in advance estate planning. Over the years Hank has developed a proprietary software system for working with high net worth clients to reduce or eliminate their estate tax. Hank has been a platform speaker and a presenter at M.D.R.T, T.O.T., AALU and other industry forums. He has saved clients billions of dollars in federal estate taxes and has diverted over 2 billion dollars to charities while earning a 7 figure income. Over the years, many of the industry leaders have asked Hank to make his system and software available to others. Hank, as Chairman of The Estate Advisory Group (TEAG), has now retired from his practice in California and has developed a software/training program for financial professionals who want to move to the highest level of estate planning. This outstanding workshop covers how to significantly reduce taxes, charge large fees, sell more insurance, land high net worth clients and impress their advisors.

"I thought we had the most sophisticated tools and presentation here in New York, but this is, by far, the best I've ever seen. This (tools and training) was very advanced, very focused, very intense, very good. My compliments!"
Jared Levy, Exec. VP, KAP Planning, AXA Advisors, New York, NY
 
 
"Within two weeks of attending your program I used your material and landed a $38,000 fee, the largest I have ever charged. You have done the best job I have ever seen of combining the practical with the technical. I have worked with wealthy clients and thought I understood the tax/saving techniques pretty well, but you took us to a whole new level. Thank you, my confidence is soaring."
James (Buddy) Thomas, Superior Planning, La Jolla, CA
 
"I've nagged Hank for several years to share his software and concepts, and he's finally done it. This is the best stuff I've ever seen for the high-end client. Dynamite!"
Victor Harbachow, Empowered Wealth Advisors Phoenix, AZ
 
"I've used the advanced techniques before, but didn't have really effective ways to illustrate and explain them. This exceptional program will change my business life. I can now easily approach the top 1% of the market, and their advisors, and double my fees. It's worth twice the cost."
Jerome Timmermann, New York Life St. Louis, MO
 
"In my 7 years with Ernst & Young and 5 years with Northwestern Mutual and the Richardson Group, attending very advanced courses for the high-end marketplace, this is by far the best I've ever seen. Fabulous program!"
Mike Doyle, CPA, The Richardson Group Milwaukee, WI
 
"I've been after Hank to share his stuff for years. I deal with a wealthy clientele and this material has increased my confidence and comfort level immeasurably. This is dramatically the best package of tools I've seen in my 40 years in this business. If you want to work with wealthy clients, this is the best training and software in the U.S."
David Kestel Potomac, MD
 
"My practice has been very successful, but this program will take me to a higher level. It's one thing to know the 'what' - but quite another thing to know the 'how', and to have state-of-the-art tools and presentation materials that go well beyond that which is considered 'advanced' on the street. This truly addresses the top 1/10 of 1% of the market."
John Homer, CLU, ChFC Salt Lake City, UT
 
"This is the software, tools and training we've needed to take our planning to the highest level. Each day was packed with outstanding material and very impressive, user-friendly software. Helps communicate complex issues in easy-to-understand ways."
Joan McClune, Heritage Advisors Boise, ID
 
"I'm so excited I can hardly wait to get back home and put this material into my practice. This has helped me to gain much more knowledge and confidence in the area of estate planning and will help to open doors that were previously closed."
Bill Rose Denver, CO
 
"This program is very exciting. The software and training have increased my confidence significantly in what I can do, what I say, and what I show."
Darren Josephson, Lincoln Financial Advisors Idaho Falls, ID
 
"Having attended other very advanced programs, I still didn't have all the tools I needed for very high-end prospects and clients. This program had it all and turned on lights for me, by addressing both the tax saving areas as well as the family values issues. It's the best program in the U.S. for reaching and then solving the needs of the wealthy client."
JR Knight, CFP, Legacy Advisors Centerville, UT
 
"The Estate Advisory Group's financial/estate analysis system is the finest program of is kind that I've seen in my 50+ years in this business. I was deeply impressed and frankly amazed at the total candor and open sharing of valuable concepts, case studies, stories, techniques and software. This experience has been extremely worthwhile and will be of great value to our organization for many years to come."
Rulon Rasmussen, CLU Past President, MDRT
 
"After 29 years of industry experience with a top company, I am currently an agency manager with 50 agents. Four of my agents and I attended the TEAG workshop in May. We had an outstanding experience as we sat at the feet of true professionals and learned very advanced aspects of estate planning for high net worth people. We also learned great sales techniques that apply to virtually all sales interviews. I found it to be one of the finest training workshops I have ever attended. The concepts and methods presented are truly unique. My vision has been expanded in such things as high fee income, increased professionalism, and answers to problems that I felt previously were unsolvable. It has given me much greater confidence in working in the wealthy marketplace. I highly recommend to anyone working in the high net worth market, or anyone who would like to get there, to enroll in this program. "
