What's Love Got To Do With It?

By SJS Investment Services Founder & CEO Scott Savage.

We love our clients. The loving relationships developed over the decades with business owners, their families, and people leading institutions we serve are hard to distill into words. Why? Because the words used to describe this love are unique to the individual.

How that love is delivered by SJS and felt by our clients depends on the language we use. Author Gary Chapman wrote in 1992 about the 5 different ways that people love to be loved.[1] These “Love Languages” - or different ways people feel loved - is the key to letting them know they are loved.[1]

Some people need words of affirmation that the decisions we are helping them make are right and true. Others like to receive gifts such as flowers, because those gifts make them feel loved. Others just want to spend quality time with their advisor so they can be understood. Still others love when we can do some things to help their child, grandchild, or employee in need. And some people just need a hug to feel loved.

Understanding each client’s Love Language has made all the difference. Here’s the secret I have learned: Knowing which of these Love Languages your loved one responds to can go a long way towards peace and harmony in your life.
