Here’s what you should do:

Give great financial advice: Be a financial advisor who gives expert financial advice that fits your clients’ needs, and ensures they can plan for their financial future.

Offer excellent service: Make your financial services better by being quick, efficient, and friendly. Use a team approach to handle client services so you can focus on other parts of your wealth management business.

Stay in touch: Build strong relationships with current and potential clients by communicating regularly. Use email marketing, social media, and LinkedIn to stay connected with your target audience.

Have a communication plan: Get involved in content marketing by sending clients a letter about things they’re interested in at least once a month. Use different letters and content to show that you’re a trusted financial planner and expert in managing money.

Send thoughtful letters: Strengthen your outreach sending personal letters that show you care about your clients and their families. These go a long way in creating lasting relationships.
