Bento Technology integrates quickly with your existing technology via proven Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
We currently integrated with Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Redtail, and Wealthbox. We also integrate with our clients’ email systems.
Our Advice Engine scans your existing CRM for advice opportunities.
When an advice opportunity is found, relevant content is pulled from the Bento Proprietary Content Library.
Based on our Advice Timing Expertise, the advice opportunity and Bento content is delivered to the Advisor in the form of an Advice Package with the appropriate lead time for that advice opportunity.
Because we use your CRM to both mines for advice opportunities and deliver the Bento Advice Package, there is no need to install and train on a separate Bento application. This reduces Advisor hassle and speeds adoption.
CONTENT

#1: Advice Opportunities Around Social Security Benefits
Date posted: 15 July 2021
The Need or Advice
According to a recent study by the Nationwide Retirement Institute®, more than 2/3rd of clients aged 57+ have NOT received advice from their Financial Professional on how and when to best file for Social Security Benefits. And 72% of clients say that they are Extremely or Somewhat Likely to switch their Financial Professional if they do not receive this type of advice.
A call to action to all Financial Advisors:
- American investors require more advice beyond investing
- Getting Social Security right has a meaningful impact on client outcomes and significantly strengthens your relationship
- You can use Social Security advice to successfully prospect.
