About this template
A retirement case is a different meeting from a protection case. The numbers take longer, the client has more questions, and the recommendation has to be shown over decades. This project walks it through in four meetings.
Tips from the template
- Name the project after the client.
- Get the CPF statement before the second meeting; nothing works without it.
- Show the plan as monthly income at retirement. A lump sum means little to anyone.
