Lifestyle and Planning
Invest with Understanding
The hallmark of Lincoln Financial Advisors and Sagemark Consulting is part of our unique, proprietary, financial planning process. As a people-focused firm, we provide a fully integrated and personalized approach to identifying solutions to produce a customized financial plan.
Investments are essential – but they aren’t rocket science! As a key component to your financial plan, it’s important that you actually understand what you are investing in, and why it’s the best choice. Because we plan first and invest second, we’re able to tie the emotions to the math and put together a customized portfolio for each client. We accomplish that by acting as your advocate in the investment marketplace, where we objectively evaluate what’s available, and ensure that we find the best fit for you.

Working to Meet Your Needs
You deserve to feel financially secure, and we want to make that happen for you. We believe it’s our responsibility to help you make the most of your income and assets, and to help you make the most of your life.
We take the time to fully understand you and your needs. Then we provide you with the information, advice and alternatives to make appropriate decisions about your financial future.
So, how do we accomplish success together? It's simple, really. Our six-step process has proven to be effective time and time again. See how it works below:
The Six Stages of Our Financial Planning:

Engage
We meet to establish and define the client-advisor relationship. This initial conversation is where I also learn more about you personally along with educate you on the process and what to expect.

Collect
I collect data and information from you, such as goals and expectations.

Analyze
We will analyze information to make the most informed and strategic objectives based on your ambitions and needs. Part of this includes processing and evaluating your current plan, if applicable.

Design
I design a personalized plan with recommendations, including any alternatives, that can be either short or long-term that will help you reach your goals.

Implement
Once approved, I'll implement and continue to review your investments so you can feel at ease knowing I'm looking out for you.

Review
After a period of time, we'll meet to review the numbers together. From there, we can make tweaks or reevaluate our actions based on the market. I'll make sure you know what moves to make next and how to continue on the pattern of financial growth.
