This month is all about tax strategies: how to help clients now, how to anticipate their future needs, and how to start a conversation about long-term financial goals.
Taxes aren't anyone's favorite subject - we get it. It's an uphill battle to get clients to talk about something they just want to get over with as fast as possible. On the flip side, taxes are on everyone's mind right now, making it a great time to reach out with a simple question or conversation starter to see if you can help.
What’s in the Kit
In this month's kit, we have 54 pages of guides and resources to help you talk to clients about tax strategies. First, we start off with 12 pages of current tax information for 2018 and 2019. With the changes to the tax code that apply to tax year 2018, you have to be sure you're working with current information when you reach out to clients. The kit also includes a case study, tax planning worksheet, information on tax-deferred growth, and information to help you conduct a client review.

How to Use This Month’s Sales Kit
Browse the tax info at the front of the guide. Pick a noteworthy piece of information to use to reach out to your clients, like the contribution limit for traditional or Roth IRAs. When you reach out, start with a simple question - ask if they have the latest contribution limits, gift and estate tax rates, etc. You can also ask if they'd like to go over their tax situation to see if there's a way to minimize tax liability for the 2019 tax year. That's where the client review materials in this month's sales kit come into play.
