While they can be anticipated with certainty and represent significant engagement opportunities, there are 5 age points you’re probably not thinking about. These 5 age points include: 1. Age 0: Birth 2. Age 14: Working Age 3. Age 15-17: Driving Age 4. Age 18-21: Age of Majority 5. Age 26: Healthcare Providing proactive advice to your clients or prospects with children nearing these important age milestones not only provides your client with peace of mind that their child is financially prepared for the future, but it allows you an opportunity to connect with the next generation and begin building trusting relationships. However, scaling delivery of this kind of personalized proactive advice to all your clients is hard enough. Add their children to your list  and it becomes even more difficult. Bento Engine makes it possible to identify, deliver and scale proactive advice by connecting with your existing CRM.
