Virtual Resources
Chances are, your clients and prospects, especially older ones, are leery about leaving their homes and are still practicing social distancing.
But they need you now more than ever. You can help ease their minds about the market turmoil and guide them through the ups and down of the pandemic by offering virtual solutions.

Tips for Effective Virtual Meetings1
- Make sure everyone has the same technology downloaded. Do a dry run if necessary or set up extra time for you or your staff to make sure you and clients’ technology are both working and are working together.
- A PowerPoint can be critical—start the meeting with a clear agenda.
- Keep your meeting from 15 to 30 minutes long.
- Empathy is imperative—these are unprecedented times. Frame your meeting with an opening statement (less than 90 seconds) that combines current reality and empathy, and close on the same note.
- Email a summary within 30 minutes of the meeting.

Nearly all of our event partners have rolled out webinar programs to take the place of live events.
