SurgeTK

You're Not Busy.
You're Winging It.

The plan isn't the work. The meeting is the work.

SurgeTK helps you know when to meet, what to cover, and how to deliver Value-Adds clients won't stop talking about. No 80-page plan nobody reads. No more pretending busy work is the work.

The Why

Every Advisor Has Felt It.

You're running on a schedule that stopped making sense a decade ago.

Quarterly meetings made sense when statements were slow and that was the only time there was anything to review. Performance reporting is instant now — your calendar isn't. Clients don't need you to tell them how the market did. They need you to tell them what to do next.

The Sunday-night scramble

It's late the night before a meeting and you're still piecing together what you'll even talk about.

The blank agenda

You walk in without a real plan and let the client's latest headline decide what the meeting is about.

The calendar that never breathes

Two or three meetings a week, every week, all year — and somehow never time to do the actual work.

Playing office

You're booked solid and busy all day, and still not sure any of it moved a single client's plan forward.

There's a fix. The best advisors in the country already run on it — and it has a name. It's called Surge.

What Is a Value-Add?

It's what you walk into the room and talk about.

A Value-Add is a focused, one-page piece of planning a client can actually read and act on — not a performance recap, and not an 80-page plan they'll never finish.

SurgeTK builds the right Value-Adds for every household on your Surge schedule. Each client gets a deliverable that moves their plan forward — and it does it for your entire book at once, in minutes.

Delivering this for every household, every Surge, takes more than one person. It takes a system your whole team runs on.

What Is Surge?

Surge is a disciplined way of running your calendar: instead of scattering client reviews across all 52 weeks, you concentrate them into a few focused weeks — and protect the rest of the year for the work that actually moves plans forward.

SurgeTK maps your entire Surge calendar for the year. In less time than it takes to grill a steak, you'll know who you're seeing, when, and exactly what to cover in each meeting. No blank agendas. No guessing what matters this time.

  • Your whole year mapped in one sitting — who you're seeing, when, and what each meeting covers.
  • Themed meetings, so every round has a clear agenda — no winging it off the latest headline.
  • The rest of the calendar protected for real planning work — and real life.

But knowing when to meet is only half of it. The real question is what you put in front of a client when you sit down.

Advisor Stories

Built for the Way Great Firms Work.

Advisors on the discipline, consistency, and follow-through behind stronger client experiences.

Starting in 2023, he went all in on implementing Surge meetings, a consistent meeting agenda that never changes, and surprise-and-delight touches for clients. His biggest breakthrough was watching his client retention reach near perfection and realizing that delivering a structured, repeatable, high-value experience generates three to five unsolicited referrals every single month without ever asking.

Since then, he implemented Surge, raised fees, improved processes, and successfully completed his buyout. In his words, the ROI has been ‘ridiculous’ compared to the cost.
Craig Gingerich
Sage Rutty & Company
Despite a rocky first Surge, which he describes as nearly a complete disaster, he pushed through and has spent four years refining and improving. His biggest breakthroughs have been mastering the Surge schedule and navigating the challenge of hiring and developing junior advisors.
Bryan Marshall
MPC Advisors
His biggest breakthroughs have been implementing the Surge schedule and raising fees. He says the program works, but only if you commit to it completely and follow the recipe without cutting corners.
Mike Nedreski
White Oak Wealth Partners
His biggest breakthroughs were transforming his client meetings through Surge, making them repeatable, high-value, and consistent, and confronting the uncomfortable truth that he had spent years as a premium advisor charging discount fees.
