Tactics for Starting Productive Financial Conversations
As a financial advisor, your communication skills can make or break your relationship with clients. Based on insights from Morningstar Behavioral Research, this report reveals the powerful impact of asking the right questions in financial planning conversations.
We looked at two similar, yet profoundly different questions: "What is important about money to you?" versus "Why is money important to you?" Through our research, we analyze how the former leads to more productive conversations, fostering deeper connections and more meaningful insights into a client's financial mindset and aspirations.
