To gain a further understanding of John‘s needs and potential risks
We do a SWOT analysis on our client, enquire and note;
• Strengths - Strong balance sheet? EG no debt, or debt?
ability to work and earn an income?
• Weakness - Health? Maybe overweight? Not fit? Enough income?
Extra drain on income?
• Opportunities - Has a skill which adds value? May work longer, travel? re-locate? Potential future income?
• Threats - Consider Inflation, political uncertainty, financial scams!
At this stage, what conclusions can you
draw about John? What type of guy is he?
