Advisor Spotlight – TJ van Gerven of Modern Wealth Builders

For this equity comp advisor, Knudge is his daily driver for client communication.

When TJ van Gerven reaches out to clients, most often, he does it with a nudge.

The Boston-based advisor serves millennials receiving equity comp and kicks off the relationship with a nudge to upload their docs into the Right Capital vault. As he works through the initial planning process – in his case, this is a monthly meeting for the first quarter – he will send a follow-up Loom video embedded in a nudge.

Once the relationship is in flight, TJ sends a variety of nudges to keep it running smoothly.

“I try to use it for everything now,” he said. “[Especially] because it integrates with Wealthbox for notes.”

On a quarterly basis, clients receive informational nudges (these are nudges that send just one notification) to invite them to schedule a […]

Overcoming the Status Quo Bias with the Fresh Start Effect

Here at Knudge, we’ve noticed that some of our new members take a long time to start assigning nudges to their clients. Behavioral economics research tells us why.

One of the biggest barriers to behavior change is the Status Quo Bias: the tendency to stick to whatever path we’re on, even when we are convinced that better things await us on a different path. It’s the psychological version of physics’ inertia. It keeps us right where we are because switching to something new and better is just so much more… effortful at the beginning.

If you’re like most Knudge users, you signed up with Knudge for one or more of the following excellent reasons:

  • You want to make it easier for your clients to remember and complete their To Do list.
  • You want to cut […]

Case Study: How an advisor saved 10 hours a week

Here is a recent client success story:

Who did Knudge help: A Managing Partner at an independent RIA with a team of 6 advisors and $1.5 B AUM

What was the critical issue: Advisor was spread thin to keep up with client items while finding new business. Worried items were slipping through the cracks for him and his entire team.

Reason for critical issue: Advisor did not have the bandwidth […]
