They emphasise how progress meetings help answer clients’ key questions around making smart financial decisions, ensuring the security of their loved ones, and living their best lives.
Aden and David also delve into different types of documentation used in progress meetings and how reviewing these documents helps get clients back on track if needed or celebrates goals already achieved.
