Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired on Friday 8 December 2023. This week’s show asks an interesting question for clients: How can you be a great client to get the more out of advice? Seeking advice, including financial planning advice is not a one way road. To get the most out of the advice and service provided, clients need to participate. This show takes a look at how to get the most out of the advice you seek.
Key topics covered include:
- Most people realise advice of any kind is a two way street – you need to participate
- All advice providers including financial planners have legal obligations, so sometimes there’s paperwork
- Paperwork can be complicated and administration can seem like a lot of work, ask for help if you need it
- Make sure you fill in paperwork correctly, forms might be rejected which can cause delays
- Ask questions if you don’t understand something, your adviser is there to help! It’s important you understand what’s going on.
- Be realistic with times frames – things like setting up accounts or applying for a home loan can take several weeks not days
- Seek the right kind advisers to help you reach your goals
- Luke shares his top tips around participating in the advice process.
