Slow Down For Seniors

A simpler, slower life - one full of Sunday drives and one-on-one in person conversations.  Sound nice doesn’t it?  Believe it or not, slowing down is a critical part of a financial advisors job. 

 

Throughout the past year I have been asked to contribute to the industry publication Senior Market Advisor.  My January column focuses on the need to slow down and actively listen to our older clients. 

 

Seniors want you to slow down, take time to invest in, listen to and ultimately build a strong personal connection with them. Once you have demonstrated your commitment to the client by listening, understanding the family dynamics, and paying attention to the small things, he or she will be more accepting of your advice and take the necessary steps to meet their financial goals.

 

Click here to read the complete column online.  On the site you will also be able to see some of my previous columns for Senior Market Advisor.  The topics covered include insuring your wealth, re-defining life legacy and the aging population.   So slow down, kick back and take some time to read some words of advice regarding life insurance and senior cliental.   And, I encourage each of you to share your own advice by commenting to this Blog.

That's why we have two ears and one mouth to listen more than to speak. The elderly are always ready and available to share their experiences with anyone who is willing to listen. This sharing time with the elderly also gives us time to introspect and consider the true meaning of life.

Yes, many a times it seems that we don't have time at all to spend time by slowing down. We are always on the move, at the race, couldn't have time to sit and think and redefine our goals... The mad rush may not bring in the desired results in long run. We have to learn to slow down and sit and understand the need to build up close relationships with our existing customers which will take us a long way in the journey of our success.
