The Client Experience

The Razor Leads landing page is client facing and walks the client through providing information about their life stage, ages, incomes and current assets. The client will then be shown their potential retirement income and can produce a personalized retirement income report based on the information they entered. The last step for the clients is to share their data entered on the landing page with you.
