KNOW WHERE YOU ARE


With clients demanding more of our time with tighter revenues, it is important that we take a look at the process of gathering and tracking information on clients and prospects.

 

In the work we do with advisors and brokers the same problems arise time and again with respect to this important topic.

 

  1. The information that should be tracked on all clients has not formally been mandated.
  2. If mandated, the process of gathering that information is not standardized.
  3. Data is not centralized in a contact management system or is not tracked in fields that can be used to manage that data effectively.
  4. Little or no data is formally gathered on suspects or prospects.
  5. There is no formal process in place to update client information.

 

 

PLANS AND OBJECTIVES


While you may not face all five challenges, most are grappling with at least one. Client and prospect information drives effective communication and marketing and it is as much about what information we gather as how that information is used.

 

 

To help you standardize, we have split this process into two components:

 

ü      Getting started and

ü      Managing the process.

 

 


 

 

GETTING STARTED


1.      Identify all information that you want to gather on your clients.

When you are thinking about what information you need, think in terms of three general categories. What information do you need to effectively service your clients (such as email address, client segment, number of meetings per year, retirement status etc.)?. What information do you need to effectively reward your clients (such as hobbies, favourite charities etc.)?. What information do you need to effectively market to your clients (such as cross-selling opportunities, date of last insurance review, product carried, renewals, carrier etc.)?

 

2.      Structure your contact management system to include fields to track all appropriate information.

Information can be tracked in either a 'field' or in the 'notes' section.  For key data such as renewals, you need to be able to merge a letter to all renewals for a time period and track the follow up.  For meetings, your want to review what has been discussed and any team-member contact as a historical review prior to the meeting.

 

3.      Create an automated report.

In your contact management system, set up a report that can be printed to show all relevant information on a client. This report can be printed prior to client meetings and updated over time. In addition to putting important client information at your fingertips during a client meeting, it will allow you to easily see what information is missing on any given client. Include a section that allows you to note 'next steps' directly onto the form.

 

4.      Identify standard information to be gathered on all suspects/prospects.

From your full client profile, select the information that you will gather on all prospects in advance of a meeting. For example, you might want to ensure that you have entered name, address, age, marital status and occupation as a baseline. It is the job of whomever books the meeting to gather that information.

 

 


 

 

MANAGING THE PROCESS


1.      Prior to each client meeting, print your client report.

2.      Update the client report during or directly after the meeting to fill in some or all of the missing information and identify next steps.

3.      Pass the client report to your assistant to update your contact management system and execute the next steps. (Note that the next time you run your report all the new information you gathered will show.)

4.      Double check that the next client meeting is scheduled.

As with many practice processes, the bulk of the work is in the set-up, rather than the management. That's a fundamental law of practice efficiency.
