Listen Below.
0:37 – In a previous episode, I discussed “4 Steps to Streamline Your Client Onboarding Process.” Today, let’s explore four tactics to elevate it, making clients feel right at home in your firm.
1:23 – Money is a sensitive topic. Clients choose your firm because of trust built in the sales process. Maintain and reinforce this trust during onboarding by demonstrating human concern for their best interests.

3:15 – Tactic #3: Provide a gift basket to your new clients upon joining.
3:33 – Tactic #4: Consider unexpected check-ins, preferably through video, conducted by the owner or partner of the firm.
