In this episode, Nathan and Tom Graney discuss:
- Aligning life plans and investment plans
- Importance of focusing on client needs
- Why listening is so important
- Learning from your clients
Key Takeaways:
- The most important thing we could do is to help people identify their life goals and objectives and match those goals with their investment plans.
- Always consider the client’s comfort level with various strategies. For example, you can explore ways to plan for a family’s financial needs while at the same time meeting philanthropic goals.
- Listen and ask questions, avoid assuming or dictating without understanding their entire situation or learning about their investing philosophy.
- Look forward to learning from your clients. Approach each meeting with curiosity and humility, while also giving them sound ideas and providing tools that will help them succeed.
