If you use something that's not on the list, shoot an email to care@nitrogenwealth.com. This helps us prioritize building integrations with the tools you use most.

5. What to Expect the First 30-60 Days?
In the first few days, top advisors:
- Define their desired outcomes (goals) with Nitrogen.
- Determine how to align their firm's measurement of success using Nitrogen.
- Evaluate measurements of success.
Following the model above:
- Decide how to enhance your prospecting and deepen relationships with current clients. Success Playbooks is a great place to start.
- Perform 4-6 client and prospect reviews with Nitrogen to test the waters. Evaluating the product with clients helps crystallize specific steps for implementation.
- Evaluate the improvements in the prospecting process and client relationships.
Goal setting is key. By setting clear, objective, and definable goals, top advisors establish the purpose for Nitrogen. You'll find success with Nitrogen within a reasonably short period of time.
6. Top Producer Playbooks
Clients love seeing risk expressed in understandable terms and knowing how much risk their portfolio has. Showing Nitrogen on-screen with clients and prospects—whether the Portfolio Tools or Retirement Maps—is game-changing. It builds trust in the advisor and helps clients visually understand their portfolio and retirement goals.
Get started by scanning several Success Playbooks.
We look forward to your success!
