CONNECTING NAIFA’s ADVOCACY MANDATE TO YOUR BOTTOM-LINE • Write down the Names of your 3 biggest Clients • Write the problem you solved or the Financial Goal Achieved • Write down the Product Solution you recommended • Question: Were there any Tax Advantages/Benefits Associated with the Product Solution???
What if … Those Tax Advantages/Benefits were eliminated or severely reduced – would the Client take action? NAIFA created the Tax Advantages/Benefits our products enjoy – since the Income Tax Code was made law in 1913. TODAY - NAIFA continues to defend and protect those Tax Advantages/Benefits. What would be the loss of Revenue to your Business without them?
