I'd love to hear the experts' views on Efficient vs Effective, please. I think we fall into the trap as business owners and advisers of focussing on efficiency at the expense of being effective. For instance, we can be super efficient at producing a review document (as measured by time taken, quality, content etc.) but, if the client doesn't understand the advice or is not responsive to it then it probably isn't very effective. Another example could be onboarding new staff - contracts are ready, PD is agreed, introductions to the team are made and the checklist is complete however, the new team member might not understand what's expected of them and how they fit in. So, what tips do you have on achieving the holy grail of having an efficient process or system that is also super effective at achieving your goals? Peter.Worn jessica.lambClient portal hacks
Insights show that advice firms that communicate more frequently (generally once a month) with their ‘a-list’ clients are more profitable than the average advice firm. Available through Xplan, Client Portal offers a better way to connect and communicate securely with your clients.
