With the "Rise of Geekdom", many gamers are career-minded professionals that want to slay a dragon or two on the weekend. Gamers run into three main issues impacting Game Store Owners (GSOs): Not enough money to buy the games they want; Not enough time to play the games they have; Too worried about work/budget/cash flow to enjoy the games they do play. There are people in your community who want to meet your clients, help them pursue their financial goals, and share the same gaming interests. They can help drive business through increased traffic, a sense of community, and the services they can provide YOU (the GSO)! Jeff Riegle is an independent financial adviser with Waddell & Reed, Inc. As an avid gamer, Jeff wants to help GSOs learn how to develop relationships with financial professionals and discuss the value the financial industry can provide. Waddell & Reed, Inc. - Member SIPC
