Marketing and Client Outreach for Financial Advisory Firms

Solution Driven Technology builds the technology behind an advisory firm's client outreach, from the campaign list to the event invitation. Pick a category to see what changes.

CRM-Driven Campaigns

CRM-Driven Campaigns

The newsletter goes to a list someone exported last quarter.

The CRM picks the audience. When a field changes, the list changes with it.

  • A CRM-driven campaign chooses its audience from live client data in Salesforce, Redtail or SmartOffice, not from a list someone exported.
  • A segmented list is a list filtered by CRM fields, such as advisor, review month or account size, so a newsletter matches the CRM on the day it is sent.
  • Campaigns run through your firm's approved platforms, such as Mailchimp for email and MyRepChat for text.
  • SDT builds the technology that runs the campaign. SDT is not a marketing agency.

Platforms: Salesforce, Redtail, SmartOffice, Mailchimp, MyRepChat

Milestone and Review Campaigns

Milestone and Review Campaigns

Birthday notes and beneficiary reviews happen when someone remembers.

Milestone messages run from the fields your CRM already holds.

  • Your CRM already knows each client's birthday, anniversary, review month and beneficiaries. SDT builds campaigns that run from those fields.
  • Birthday and anniversary messages run from the dates in the CRM.
  • Beneficiary campaigns ask clients to review their beneficiaries.
  • Review campaigns contact the clients due for a review and track each one to the booked meeting. The full system is under Client Engagement Automation.

Platforms: Salesforce, Redtail, SmartOffice, Mailchimp, MyRepChat

Client Appreciation Events

Client Appreciation Events

The last event was run from a spreadsheet by someone with a full-time job.

You host. SDT produces the event.

  • SDT finds and arranges the venue, the vendors and the entertainment.
  • The invitation list comes from your CRM and is tiered by client AUM. AUM is assets under management, the size of the accounts the firm manages for that client.
  • Invitations go out by email and by text through your firm's approved platforms, such as Mailchimp for email and MyRepChat for text. One client event was sent this way.
  • SDT tracks the RSVPs, meaning the replies that say who is coming. After the event, SDT sends the follow-up.
  • Every solution goes through your firm's compliance review before it goes live. SDT prepares what the reviewer needs.

Platforms: Salesforce, Redtail, SmartOffice, Mailchimp, MyRepChat

Campaign Tracking

Campaign Tracking

Nobody knows which clients heard from you after the last campaign.

Each outreach is written back to the client record.

  • SDT has built automated client campaigns. The CRM chooses the audience. Email, text and staff follow-up run together, and each outreach is tracked on the client record.
  • In that build, the client record shows which campaign a client received and the follow-up that came after.
  • Every solution goes through your firm's compliance review before it goes live. SDT prepares what the reviewer needs.
