A session focussed on helping mortgage advisers spot and develop business protection opportunities rather than missing out on valuable business. Mortgage advisers are ideally placed to have the conversations with their clients around the risks they could face should the worst happen, and help them to understand how to mitigate those risks. Clients may think about the risks associated with a mortgage but what of those other opportunities that could be highlighted through the fact-find process?
The discussion aims to build advisers confidence with some simple openings to enable the conversation to raise those potential needs. It will case studies as the basis for the presentation that will hopefully be easy for most advisers to relate to, and look at ensuring the adviser is able to keep linking the need for protection to the clients overall circumstances.
By the end of the session you will
1. Build confidence with some simple openings to enable the conversation to raise those potential needs
2. Ensuring the adviser is able to keep linking the need for protection to the clients overall circumstances.
