Client Qualification Questions

  • Can you estimate how much you’re paying in annual fees?
  • Do you feel like debt is preventing you from saving for retirement?
  • If your mortgage was paid off, would retirement be more comfortable?

Step 1: Client and Mortgage Information

Start by collecting basic information such as the client’s name, address, contact details, and mortgage specifics. This ensures you have the necessary background to proceed effectively.

  • Full name, address, and email.
  • Mortgage details: lender, interest rate, term, and loan amount.
  • Current monthly payments and any accelerated plans.

Step 2: Insurance Overview

Document the client’s current insurance coverage, including the type, face amount, and carrier. Identify any gaps in their coverage and opportunities to enhance their protection.

  • Face amount, purpose, and premium.
  • Carrier and cash value, if applicable.

Step 3: Assets and Investments

Review the client’s financial portfolio, focusing on current assets and their purpose. This step highlights opportunities for optimization and long-term planning.

  • 401(k), IRA, annuities, savings, and investments.
  • Current value, contributions, and providers.
  • Determine if employer-sponsored accounts (e.g., 401(k)) are active.

Step 4: Debt Information

Analyze the client’s debt profile, including credit cards, loans, and other liabilities. Understanding their debt burden helps develop strategies for financial improvement.

  • Credit card and personal loan debt.
  • Student loans, car loans, and other liabilities.
