Leveraging ASI's patented, goal-driven investment management solutions, goalgamiPro is a web-based platform that was developed for advisors looking for an alternative to the comprehensive 70-page financial plan. ASI's quick planning tool uses the notion of the household balance sheet to enable advisors to create a plan in eight minutes, and generate a series of client-focused one-page reports. 

"As the technology for the financial services industry becomes increasingly CRM-centric, individual advisors are seeking planning tools that can easily be launched when time does not allow for completing a full financial planning analysis," said Neal Ringquist, President and Chief Operating Officer of ASI. "The integration of goalgamiPro with Redtail's very popular CRM platform gives advisors an optimal tool to make quick assessments of their clients' goal plans."

In addition to improving advisor efficiency by reducing planning time, the goalgamiPro quick planning solution has also been proven to

• Generate leads: goalgamiPro comes with a household balance sheet PowerPoint deck for lunch or dinner seminars. goalgamiPro is then used to prepare a report for a free 30-minute household balance sheet assessment.
• Strengthen client relationships: goalgamiPro also comes with Collaboration Connect, a client goal planning website enabled by the advisor and integrated with goalgamiPro.

"Successful financial professionals depend on creating and maintaining long-lasting relationships with clients," said Brian McLaughlin, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Redtail. "Adding goalgamiPro to the Redtail CRM platform ensures that advisors can provide clear, concise and accessible answers to questions that come up during discussions with their clients, resulting in greater efficiency and stronger relationships."
