(7:09) Katherine shares that, if you get a referral, the first thing you should do is learn as much as possible about the prospect from the referral source without being invasive. (12:43) Katherine mentions that learning about all of the products that individuals represent as independent agents is impossible since they change constantly, but being strategic in three or four lines of business they want to focus on is beneficial because clients want to communicate. (15:50) Katherine discusses how she tailors her presentations to high-net-worth clientele.
