Working with Widows

Over the course of your professional career, you will likely work with many grieving widows. And having a plan for how to deal with that situation will not only help you help your grieving client during one of the most challenging times of her life, it makes good business sense as well.

Why? 70% of married men will die before their spouse, leaving 1 million women widowed every year in the U.S. And of those, 70% will change advisors within a year.
