The Importance of Process and Client Profitability
Achieving effectiveness in financial advising requires adherence to critical processes and understanding client profitability. Cutting steps that may seem unnecessary can jeopardize the overall outcome, highlighting the need for intentionality in each process step. For example, running a client profitability report should begin by anonymizing client names to avoid emotional biases, ensuring objective evaluation of the data. It’s essential to identify and duplicate successful practices of others, then adapt them as needed, emphasizing that even small details play a significant role in business success.
