Direct Quote

"It's your chance to reset the table with your existing clients to make sure they know how your practice works today and not how it worked 5 years ago."

Market Gap

Long-term clients may not be aware of updated services.

As financial practices evolve, long-standing clients may remain unaware of new services, processes, or changes in the advisory relationship. This disconnect can lead to misunderstandings and potential dissatisfaction as clients operate under outdated expectations. The challenge is in effectively communicating these updates without it feeling forced or awkward. Financial advisors need a structured way to reintroduce their current practices to ensure clients are fully aware of the value they can now receive and how to engage with the practice effectively. Without addressing this, advisors risk losing client trust and referrals.

Summary

The re-onboarding process is a structured approach for financial advisors to reintroduce their long-term clients to updated practices, services, and team structures. This process aims to reset client expectations and reinforce the value proposition of the advisory relationship. By integrating re-onboarding into regular client interactions—such as annual meetings or updates—advisors can ensure clients are aware of what has changed and how it benefits them. This might include providing updated onboarding packets, discussing new team members, or reminding clients of services they might not be utilizing. The goal is to create a seamless transition that feels natural and maintains client engagement, ultimately leading to strengthened relationships and increased referrals.

How should I validate this service idea before building it?

2:34 PM

Great question! For a service idea like this, I'd recommend starting with these validation steps:

  1. Customer interviews: Talk to Subject Matter Expert to understand their pain points
  2. MVP approach: Build a simple landing page to test demand
  3. Competitor analysis: Research existing solutions and identify gaps

Would you like me to help you create a specific validation plan for your medium difficulty idea?

2:35 PM

Yes, and what about the technical implementation? Should I build this myself or hire a team?

2:36 PM

Based on your idea's complexity and < 1 month, here's my recommendation:

Technical Strategy:

  • Start with no-code tools for rapid prototyping
  • Consider your technical background and available < $100
  • Plan for scalability from day one

I can help you create a detailed technical roadmap and resource allocation plan...

Client Experience Enhancement Tool

A Client Experience Enhancement Tool could be developed to assist financial advisors in continuously educating their clients about the full range of services available to them. This tool would provide regular updates, reminders, and educational content tailored to existing clients, ensuring they are aware of new offerings and how to effectively engage with the firm. By integrating this tool into the re-onboarding process, advisors can create a more proactive client engagement strategy, encouraging clients to utilize services they may not have been aware of. This could include automated workflows for sending updates, client-specific resource pages, and feedback loops to gauge client understanding and satisfaction.
