Choose the right client

The first few clients that you work with on legacy planning are the most important ones. We recommend starting with a first “tier” of clients who you believe will be open to legacy planning. Your second tier will be those clients who you feel may object: wait to market your services to them until you have a bit more experience.

Here are some criteria that we’ve found helpful in selecting your first clients:

1)      Choose clients who you feel have a passion for life and want to leave a meaningful legacy to their loved ones. These people are often compassionate, family-oriented people and have philanthropic tendencies.
2)      Start with a few “tolerant” clients that will be comfortable with the fact that you are still getting familiar with the program.
3)      Once you have a client engaged, talk about their family members and inquire as to whether or not any of them might also want to do a legacy plan.
