How do you engage with a Best Interest Advice planner
We offer face to face and over the internet meetings with our clients. You have a choice.
Younger financial planners and clients tend to have higher technology self-efficacy – they are more confident in navigating and troubleshooting virtual meeting tools – which correlates strongly with their perception that virtual meetings can be as productive as in-person meetings.
Conversely, older clients, while initially perceived as potentially resistant to technology, have shown increased openness and comfort with platforms like Zoom, partially driven by the pandemic’s necessity for remote communication.
Data indicates that more than half of people aged 60 and above are willing to engage with remote advisors, showing a significant shift in demographic adoption patterns triggered by COVID-19.
