Financial Industry
 
CSA is perfect for professionals in Financial Services. You have taken various financial courses, which equip you with the technical expertise to provide excellent financial information to your clients. However, no technical financial course teaches you how to make a genuine relationship connection with your senior client, or to understand the processes of aging and what that means to your boomer or senior client, and particularly how this relates to the decisions made with regard to the Financial, Health and Social aspects of aging.

Serve the Whole Person
When you “touch” the financial aspects of a senior or Grand Boomer’s life, there is a ripple effect that, at the same time, “touches” the social and health aspects as well. Do you know the implication of your actions? Do you know how to deal with the ripple effect?

For instance, if you are dealing with older clients, they are most likely somewhere in the grief process. As your clients age, the grieve for the loss of their friends, spouses, loss of their mobility, their health, their independence, and perhaps their financial wealth.  It is important to understand and recognize the stages of grief, so that you know how to respond more effectively and know when your client is in a position to make critical decisions.

The CSA course will empower you by giving you the tools to truly understand the whole person and to make the connection between the health, social and financial needs of your older clients. You will also learn how to deliver your financial services to boomers and seniors in a manner that will build trust, loyalty, and a relationship that seniors will value.

The CSA is not a “what” course, it is a “how” and “why” course.
Many Financial Advisors are operating as small or single businesses, even when they are associated with large companies. There is seldom a professional marketing specialist on staff and you have to go it alone. As a CSA you are not alone. Through the ongoing support and in particular, the CSA Success publication, you have access to international marketing success strategies to assist you in your own marketing efforts, and you may take advantage of your exclusive access to the CSA marketing store, which customizes marketing material, tailor made for the senior and emerging Grand Boomer markets.

The time is fast approaching when seniors will ask, “Do you have Certified Senior Advisors on staff?” Do You?
