“Todd Bramson has a unique stage presence. He gently and
effectively brings an audience to focus on the crucial elements
of achievement in business. The first thing you feel is his integrity.
Then sincerity and humility. He transforms an audience. More
than causing people to think, he causes people to change. I will
definitely bring Todd back to be a speaker in the future.”
Kevin Hogan, Author
of The Science of Influence
“Todd was always very prepared with topics of interest to
our viewers. He always made his presentations visual as well as
easy to understand for the average person. Feedback from our audience
was very positive since Todd joined us at a time when financial
news was seldom presented on TV. At a new network now, I will continue
to tap into Todd as a resource for important information for our
viewers.”
Pam Tauscher, News Anchor,
WISC-TV, Madison, WI
“Todd has been an annual presenter at our
North Star meetings and has consistently received the highest

"Todd has been a revolutionary resource for the development of
my practice. It was a privilege to co-author a book with Todd,
and the experience will come in handy as future developments evolve
within my business. Without Todd, it would have taken me 10-20
years before I would have been involved in publishing a book. Most
importantly, the experience and time I have spent with Todd has
had a direct impact on my clients. My clients and their family
members have been extremely appreciative for the various financial
problems we have helped them solve. Without the time and energy
Todd has invested in me and my practice, this would not have been
possible."
Brian W. Lahr, Financial Advisor
"On behalf
of the members of the Fox River Valley Association of Insurance
and Financial Advisors, I just wanted to thank you for your outstanding
presentation at our "Taste

and our membership benefited greatly from hearing you speak.
I am sure you could tell by the response at the conclusion of
your presentation that you were extremely well received by the
audience."
Scott D. Scheer, President Elect,
NAIFA-WI-Fox River Valley
"For the 25 years I have known Todd, I have
seen him apply the highest integrity and hard work for others
to help others improve their lives. Whether its his clients,
friends or other advisors, he constantly gives of his own experiences
to build others up. One of the areas Todd has encouraged me the
most in is in my marketing and planning efforts for the lawyers
I serve. His many hours of sharing has propelled me to go deeper
in my efforts through articles, interviews, seminars and even
a book that he helped me to publish. He has helped me to build
the momentum to build my brand and attract and retain more quality
clients."
Thomas A. Haunty, CFP, RHU, REBC, ChFC, Senior Partner, North Star

“As Chief Marketing Officer, I’m

"Todd and I together wrote Real Life
Financial Planning for the High Income Specialist. It was
a very difficult, time consuming and at times, frustrating process
as writing such a book is hard work! Todd was very patient throughout
the process and helped keep things simple and on point. I relied very
heavily on his experience in the financial planning field, but
also his experience as an established author. The end result
is a very comprehensive, easy to read book that has served as an
exceptional educational tool for all of our medical specialist
clients. I can say that without Todd, this would not have been
possible."
David
J. Johnson, CLU, ChFC
"I have worked with Todd as co-author of Real
Life Financial Planning for both Physicians and

the same over the next 20 years."
Marshall W. Gifford, CLY, ChFC

some personal examples was a very good method to get our complete
attention. His presentation was appropriate for everyone in the
audience, whether new in the business or a seasoned veteran.His
fill in the blanks as part of the presentation kept the audience
involved. I would definitely recommend him as a speaker."

my practice has excelled to a level that I couldn't
have imagined possible before meeting him. This
is largely due to one thing ... Todd is a true
mentor in every sense of the word. The time that he has put into
helping me grow my practice will pay priceless dividends in ways
that will benefit me as a professional, as a person, and most

“Without question your presentations are meaningful,

away.”

"Todd really opened my eyes to the impact that focused marketing can
have on a specific market. For years I had not focused on any particular
type of client. Todd helped me develop specific strategies to really penetrate
the market I wanted to work with. Todd has an amazing ability
to look at a specific market and develop sound, practical strategies to build
credibility and increase sales."
Richard D. Hanzlik
"I was introduced to Todd 18 months ago. My practice has not been
the same since. I learned more in my first two days with Todd than I did in my
entire first year before meeting Todd. My production has gone up 250% in the
year since working with Todd and that is the tip of the iceberg. I thank Todd,
my family thanks Todd, and most importantly, my clients thank Todd for all the
help he has given us."

"I had the pleasure of hearing Todd at the NAIFA "Taste
of MDRT" in
Appleton Wisconsin on November 4th, 2005. As a fellow public speaker, I know
how important it is to immediately connect with your audience; Todd came "right
out of the gate"
and grabbed and transported them to new heights! His love
for the industry came through and his concepts were extremely
helpful. I would highly recommend Todd to speak at your next
meeting."
Kevin J. Murphey
PHD. M.ED, RFC CSA
"Serving
as Managing Partner I have often asked Todd to speak at firm meetings
for one simple reason---Todd delivers! Whether it is a group of
new advisors or some of our 20 year advisors, Todd's information
is always informative, cutting edge, and transferable. I have seen
Todd present at least 20 times in my career and every single time
I walk away motivated, inspired, educated and ready to implement
the concepts Todd shared.
I have been very fortunate to serve on many
industry committees, boards, and I am currently serving as Secretary of GAMA
International. These positions have allowed me to attend many of the the top
conferences in the financial services industry. They have also allowed me to
build these meetings and select the speakers and talent to present at these
world class meetings. I share this to give perspective about my comments regarding
Todd's abilities. Few people possess the skill and talent he does.
What I appreciate, respect and admire even more
about Todd's speaking/presentation abilities is who he is as a person. Todd
has unwavering character and integrity and will always do the right thing.
His work ethic is second to none. He is a true role model for all."
Edward Deutschlander CLU
Managing Partner, North Star Resource Group
Secretary, GAMA International
"Todd Bramson has been an influential mentor for my personal and
professional growth in the financial services business. Working
with Todd is always a treat and I jump at every chance."

"Todd, many thanks for speaking to our
group. The feedback we have gotten from our advisors has been tremendous.
You gave all of us plenty of great ideas we can implement immediately!
Thanks for being so inspiring, informative, and engaging. It
was a wonderful talk!"
Steven P. Ford, CLF, LUTCF
Managing Partner,
Langdon Ford Financial, Inc.
"I have had the pleasure of both being mentored by and working
with Todd Bramson for the last two years. His motivation to grow
his own practice has been contagious. The method in which he helps
advisors define their long term goals and the manner in which he
is able to lay out the techniques to implement them has been
the most impressive aspect of our relationship. With emphasis on
making my practice rewarding, my education, passion, client-driven
practices and marketing positioning has increased tremendously
over the past two years. Our work, while writing a book together,
further demonstrated how his ability to think "bigger" can
further advance every advisor's career. I personally thank Todd for
all his help and encouragement. Without both, my practice would be
in a much different state."
