Like many advisors, I’ve successfully grown my connections on LinkedIn over the years, but I’ve struggled to generate any real business from those same “connections.”
Full disclosure: I have over 17,000 LinkedIn connections, primarily in and around the Atlanta metropolitan area, where I’ve worked and lived for over 20 years. But I needed a way to effectively reach and activate my deep pool connections for my LinkedIn activity to really matter.
As the founder, president and senior financial advisor with Active Wealth Management, and advisor to V2 Financial Group, Ford is proud to help pre-retirees, retirees and business owners successfully invest and grow their wealth and hard-earned assets.
As a revenue-generating marketing and sales executive with over 24 years of experience, Ford has led teams that achieved exponential growth in a variety of industries, including financial services/insurance, consumer food, apparel and healthcare. He has also served as the chief marketing officer with a $2B independent marketing organization and was a former minority owner of a $3.4B registered investment advisor.
Ford earned his bachelor’s degree and MBA from Auburn University; holds a Series 65 Securities license; and is a licensed life and health insurance agent in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas and North Carolina. Stokes resides in Atlanta with his wife Diana and their twin girls, Grace and Madison.
