Transactional Sales
Making transactional sales not only does a disservice to your clients but could
land you in a heap of trouble. Selling
financial products without doing all of the investigational work before, like
fact-finding and suitability evaluations can hurt clients financially, gives our
industry a bad name and may make you party to a lawsuit. Yet there are still
some in our industry that want to take the path of least resistance, the easy
way out, to make a fast buck. Those of you out there who shy away from the
question of suitability and doing things right, know who you are, I am talking
to you. You are single-handedly hurting all of us in this great industry with
your practices. Stop now, change your habits, help others and become more
successful by doing things the right way.
You’ll be happy you did.

Retirement Analyzer and Tweakability
In talking to financial professionals from all over the
country every day, one of the questions that I’m asked time and time again is
“Will the RA program work for my specific client?”
Do you have clients who:
§
Are looking to map out a plan for the next 50 to
60 years?
§
Are four to five years away from retirement and
want to know how their financial picture looks for the rest of their lives.
§
Are in retirement and want to make sure they are
going to be able to keep their current standard of living throughout the rest
of their lives.
The Retirement Analyzer works well with all types of clients
and all types of scenarios. We all know
that the younger you are, the more time you have to plan. Younger clients have what we call tweakability; the ability to make
changes to their plans today to help generate adequate funds through
retirement. Most clients nearing retirement still have the
ability to make moves today to solidify their lifestyles in retirement. Older clients may not have as much tweakability, but the Retirement
Analyzer will provide valuable information and projections regarding current
spending habits and how long there retirement funds will last. How many times,
when faced with a crucial decision, have you said to yourself “If I only knew
the outcome I would know which direction to take”? Retirement Analyzer will help you project the
future for your clients. One program that will handle every possible situation!
