The RARE Advisor: The AUM Jeopardy Cycle

In this episode of The RARE Advisor, host Aaron Grady and practice management consultant Allan Oehrlein continue their discussion on time allocation by exploring what comes next: operationalizing structure across the entire advisory team. They break down why the phone is the “front door” to the firm and the calendar is the “engine room,” and how elite practices use standardized phone scripts, the strategic power of the word “unavailable,” intentional scheduling rules, and team empowerment to build consistency, capacity, and trust. Aaron and Allan outline how designed access—not unlimited access—creates scalability and a stronger client experience, while reducing reactivity, burnout, and advisor bottlenecks. They also offer practical challenges advisors can implement immediately to redesign their phone and scheduling processes in ways that elevate both team culture and enterprise value.
