60 Client Event Ideas for Financial Advisors

Have you noticed how fast technology is changing the way you work with clients? Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just a buzzword anymore; it’s transforming how you connect, deliver value, and grow. As financial advisors, you're positioned at the unique intersection of technology, finance, and marketing—and the pace of change shows no signs of slowing down.

In this episode of The RARE Advisor, host Aaron Grady and USA Financial Pareto coach and Practice Management Consultant Allan Oehrlein dive into time allocation as a core lever for advisory success. They unpack the biggest time drains—email, unsolicited calls, and open-door interruptions—and lay out a practical framework for calendar rebalancing that starts with personal time, management time, client appointments, dedicated communications windows, “work on the business” time, and high-impact growth activities. With real-world stories showing how advisors shift from reactive days to structured weeks (and even reclaim Fridays), Aaron and Allan share easy-to-implement tips: color coding calendars, scheduling buffers, daily huddles, and call/appointment protocols. If you’re ready to audit your calendar, define your ideal week, and create structure that truly liberates your practice, this conversation is your next step.
