Better Client Reports & Improved User Experience in New Social Security Maximizer™
Dear Social Security Maximizer™ users,
We’re extremely pleased to announce the redesigned version of the Social Security Maximizer™. Beside a highly improved user experience, you will also notice a rich set of client reports. Here are some of the highlights of the new version of this software.
The software has been redesigned for optimal use via any device. In particular, when you use a smart phone, you will not have to scroll horizontally.
The overall interface for data input and reports has a highly improved format.
You can now login into the software using any one of three popular social networks. That means you don’t need to maintain one more password for this software.
In case of maximization for client reports, the report now compares the benefits of recommended strategy versus no strategy. This will help you in clearly communicating the value of Social Security planning.
Client reports now have much better quality of graphs and other contents.
And yes, it has new Social Security rules that went into effect on 11/2/2015.
As always, please share your feedback with us either via online chat or email support at gowealthpro dot com.
