Best Practices for Annual Review Meetings
Annual or periodic reviews are an important part of building momentum for your practice. Conducting reviews with your clients, not only helps you fulfill your obligation to know your clients, but also helps you build deeper relationships to grow your practice.
According to Kitces.com, a periodic review should be looked at as a “State of The Plan” meeting, which (barring any unforeseen events in their lives) typically lets your clients know that they are making progress towards their goals.1
We’ve put together some best practices to serve as a guide to help you create a positive experience for your clients.
We want to help you to have successful meetings with your clients and create a positive and memorable experience for them. As a premier provider, we want to help you stand out from your competitors with the resources we've gathered for you here.
An agenda can help you stay on track with the items that need to be covered during the review. Ideally, the agenda should be delivered to clients several days before your meeting. The agenda can help set expectations, build trust, and give clients an opportunity to add anything that may have changed since your last meeting with them. Do you already use an agenda? If not, we have created a sample agenda template to help you get started.
This quiz can help your clients determine their investing comfort zone and the model that may best suit their goals and objectives. Add up the points from their responses and use the scoring guide on the following page to help you select their asset allocation model.
