The Golden Hour

Clients mentally leave their financial professionals months before their money does. This is how those financial professionals might win them back while they still have time.

Losing a top client is never a pleasant experience. Worse still, research shows that 72.2%1 of financial professionals lose one top client per year. This makes everyone have to run harder just to maintain present production levels, and it hamstrings organic growth. However, research shows it does not have to be this way and that it is surprisingly simple and easy to maintain top clients—the very clients that form the foundations of the viability of financial professionals’ businesses. In fact, by breaking one bad habit and making another, financial professionals can easily maintain client relationships for their careers. Most client retention models are so intensive and time consuming as to prevent most financial professionals from ever using them.

“The Golden Hour” model aims to deliver maximum benefit at a truly implementable level.
