The Structure of the E-Book
Each chapter gives a deep dive into the following four crucial insights:
Today’s Client Expectations
There is a customer experience arms race occurring across many industries. Innovative brands, companies, and services, both inside and outside of the financial services industry, are raising the bar with impressive, effortless experiences tailored to meet their customers’ needs. Wealth management firms must adapt to the higher expectations of their clients.
The Advisor Disconnect
Despite the massive change in customer expectations, there’s been an underinvestment in the necessary innovation to meet these new challenges. As a result, many financial advisors are stuck, unable to take advantage of the market opportunity. What’s to blame? Out-of-date investments in legacy technology.
A Reimagined Experience
A transformative exercise for reimagining the customer experience is to consider what innovative brands and organizations in other industries have done to accomplish this on behalf of their clients. This chapter takes a look at what Burberry, UCSF, Uber, and Automatic are doing and how it all relates to the wealth management industry.
Connect in New Ways
How can financial advisors prioritize their time wisely and build relationships that deepen their existing book of business? How can they and their teams deliver personalized and proactive advice in the effortless way customers now expect? The key to all of this is adopting a customer success platform that allows them to connect to clients in new ways. Read this chapter for specifics on what this platform should include.
