Building Stronger Bonds to Increase Client Retention
Two of the most common reasons clients leave their advisors are infrequent/ineffective communication and misaligned financial goals. Improving the efficacy of the former has the added benefit of also preventing the latter.
Improving client communication
Reaching out to schedule an annual or semi-annual review is of course necessary, but not nearly enough. For many clients, a review with their advisor is akin to a dental checkup; just substitute not reducing their spending and making the promised increase in 401(k) contributions for sugary drinks and intermittent (at best) flossing. Monthly newsletters sent to your entire book are nice, but it is difficult to make content created for everyone timely and relevant to anyone.
Creating regular, targeted outreach to remind clients of things they need to do or actions you took on their behalf – at the time when the information is relevant – […]
Don’t Choose Between “Better” or “Faster”
Ben Henry-Moreland wrote an interesting post, Advisors are Becoming Better (Not “Faster”) with Advances in #AdvisorTech, about the recent history of AdvisorTech for the Kitces blog. In it, Ben examines the shift over the last 5 years from tools that primarily made advisors “faster” (e.g. CRMs, Workflow Support) towards those that make advisors “better” (e.g. Advice Engagement, Specialized Financial Planning).

This necessarily limits the number of “better” tools advisors can deploy. There are 3 costs that advisors must consider:
- The financial cost of the tool
- The cost of the time needed for the advisor to become proficient in the tool
- The cost of the additional time advisors must spend with clients where the tool is useful
The growing proliferation of tools […]
