If I were to tell you that 96% of your clients may have a million dollar asset that you are not talking to them about- would you be concerned about what you are missing? If you're not talking to your clients about their Social Security retirement benefits, this statement may not be too far off track. This course will help you understand when and why to draw Social Security benefits and not to overlook this asset. (Note: This is same course that was presented June 12th in Salina)
