Adding this confidence-building step into your everyday workflow can be a gamechanger. Your profession is built on trust, and demonstrating trustworthiness to new clients can be a challenge.

Let's pause so I can show you my licence with FCNB.

Three ways to incorporate Permission to Pause into your workflow:

  1. Ensure your FCNB licence or registration is up to date.

  2. Take the time to answer client questions and don’t rush them through the process.

  3. Ensure you know your client and their needs so you can recommend products and services that are right for them.

Other ways to incorporate Permission to Pause:

  • Download the Permission emailer to share with your clients. It could be sent along with paperwork as the first step before they dive in and sign on the dotted line, or to long-time clients when it’s time for an account check-in.

  • Head over to FCNB’s social channels, follow us and share our content to help spread the Permission to Pause movement.
