Specialty Toolkit:
Coaching With The Plan Ahead Method™
*This Specialty Toolkit is included in the Financial Coach Academy®. Explore The Academy® here*
Enhance the client experience by seamlessly integrating technology into their financial journey.
The most powerful gift we can give our clients is clarity — the ability to see their money clearly. Imagine a tool that shows your clients the impact a decision they’re making today would have on their life next week, next month and even next year. The snapshot of a typical monthly budget doesn’t provide that to our clients but The Plan Ahead Method™ does.
Not sure what The Plan Ahead Method™ is? Listen to episode 39 of the Financial Coach Academy podcast to learn more.
In this Specialty Toolkit, you’ll use the demo budgets and tutorial videos provided to help your clients get organized, plan multiple paychecks in advance, and get ahead of their day-to-day money — freeing you both up to focus on other areas of their financial life.
Learn best practices for introducing, coaching and improving upon your clients’ results with this simple yet effective planning tool.
