The client relationship management (CRM) system is where we should be spending much of our screen time as advisors. It should be the first thing we log into for the day, and the last thing we update before shutting down for the day.
The purpose of the CRM is to warehouse contact information, meeting notations, and assign ourselves future tasks. With so many irons in the fire, we need to get things out of our heads and into a system so that nothing slips through the cracks.
This entire business is based upon relationships and keeping on top of excellent communication and follow up.
We cannot over-document in the CRM.
Our mission is to simplify life for our clients, but sometimes that means getting extremely detailed with our internal notes and thought process. We put in the work.
When a new prospect enters the fold, plug in as much data as you have to create a contact record, then assign yourself a task for the next follow up.
Each new communication affords us the chance to add appropriate client data and build out the profile over time.
