Talking To Clients About Terrorism Hot
Amid the despair over the recent attacks in Paris and Mali, investors need guidance more than ever. If you are their trusted financial advisor, or aspire to be, then you should be telling your clients and other contacts what terrorism means to their money. That’s a tall order. What do you do?
Silence Is Not Golden. You could send contacts links to articles in the press. That's easy and free, but it sends your contacts to a website other than yours. Plus, the article or video you link to may not reflect exactly what you would like to say. You could produce an article yourself, but it will take hours to write. And, based on your track record, it may never get done. So, you will probably do nothing but make a few phone calls. To the vast majority of your clients and contacts, however, you'll be silent.
