Dear [Name of Prospective
Client],
It’s a funny fact of life: whenever I use the word
"diversification" in connection with how people might invest their money,
they often yawn and go blank.
Yet, when I mention "possible ways to increase
income...lower taxes...and give a boost to long-term growth," they suddenly
snap to attention, and then start asking me questions!
Why? Because we all want to know what our money can do
for us, rather than the methods we might use to get there. Most people tell
me they don't have the time or energy to devote to the details of investing,
should they be invested in annuities, mutual funds, individual stocks or
bonds ...are they diversified enough, are their risk levels appropriate ---
they simply want a more comfortable and independent lifestyle.
Nevertheless, a diversified portfolio of appropriate
investments has the potential to help you attain greater comfort and
independence.
That’s where I come in. As a registered representative
with [your company/broker dealer], I actually get excited sitting down with
people, helping them articulate their financial goals, then suggesting
appropriate investments to help meet their objectives. I enjoy watching the
light bulb go on in people's eyes when they suddenly understand what
diversification and other financial concepts could mean to their own
retirement or current lifestyle.
If diversification makes you yawn, you’re not alone.
But if you'd like to know how a "boring" concept might help you achieve a
more comfortable, and independent lifestyle, drop by my desk next time
you're near my office located at [address], or call me at [phone number].
I have a few ideas that won’t put you to sleep.
Sincerely,
[Name]
