focused on “hearth & home”; yet it only occurs once every 5-7 years!
“Emotional Intelligence” has more bearing on a client’s financial success than does “Financial Intelligence”
----Mitch Anthony, “Clients for Life” survey
Missteps We Take as Agents:
Focus more on the “product” than the people;
needs assessment upfront;
Fail to communicate (especially in writing) how the process works & related timeframes;
