We\u2019re closing in on Election Day and no matter what side you\u2019re on, you have to admit that it\u2019s one of the most divisive elections in recent memory. So I\u2019m shocked when I see professionals post their political diatribes on LinkedIn or other business avenues that clients, potential clients, and business partner can see.<\/p>\n
Now everyone is entitled to their political opinion and proudly support their candidate, but politics shouldn\u2019t get in the way of being a retirement plan provider. It\u2019s so hard to be a retirement plan provider especially when dealing with potential plan sponsor clients who already have barriers up because they don\u2019t think anything is wrong with their plan. The last thing you need to do is throw up another barrier because the potential client plays on the other political side.<\/p>\n
Politics is a lot like religion. There\u2019s nothing wrong with having a certain view, but you\u2019re never going to change anyone\u2019s mind by debating it. So it\u2019s best to keep your political views to your personal Facebook page so business partners and potential partners don\u2019t have to see your political views and get so offended because they are diametrically opposed to you.<\/p>\n
So whether you\u2019re supporting Trump or Clinton or someone else, that\u2019s wonderful that you are part of the democratic process, but your views have no role in the process of being a retirement plan provider.<\/p>\n
