Data on how advisors spend their time suggests that most struggle with time management, in part because routine, yet essential, tasks can drain advisors' time and energy, detracting from client-facing and wealth management activities. For many firms, expanding without incurring substantial overhead costs is also a top priority, but with packed schedules, any growth can stretch the current setup too thin.
As financial advisor technology continues to evolve, tools like GReminders offer advisors the chance to streamline these processes through intelligent automation, enhancing efficiency and client service. Such technology alleviates the logistical and administrative burden, giving advisors back precious hours to build client relationships and do the work that matters most.
How GReminders Supports You and Your Team
GReminders is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that integrates seamlessly with industry CRMs like Redtail, and syncs with popular calendars like Google and Outlook. By automating appointment scheduling, reminders, and follow-ups, it simplifies appointment management and ensures your team’s efforts are both streamlined and effective. With this technology in place, you’ll be able to keep everything from initial client outreach to final follow-up all in one place and automatically synced across platforms.
A few important features:
- Bi-Directional Syncing with Your CRM: With GReminders, your CRM data syncs two ways, so every update you make in the CRM automatically appears in GReminders, and vice-versa. This reduces double-entry, so client information is always up-to-date and communications are recorded.
- Automated Appointment Reminders and Follow-Ups: Your clients receive timely reminders and notifications about upcoming meetings or rescheduled appointments, decreasing the likelihood of no-shows. And if a client does need to reschedule, GReminders can automatically send a link allowing them to pick a new time—eliminating the back-and-forth often required to reset appointments.
- Compliance-Ready Documentation and Task Integration: Notes and reminders from your client meetings can be logged in Redtail, creating a record for compliance without any extra steps on your end. Tracking every client touchpoint is simplified, keeping you audit-ready while maintaining a clear overview of client interactions. GReminders new notetaking capabilities can be used for online or in-person meetings.
Saving Hours with Financial Advisor Technology
During a recent webinar with GReminders and USA Financial, GReminders shared that they did a study finding that advisors and their teams could save an average of 6.1 hours per client per year by leveraging this technology to automate meeting-related tasks. For an advisor managing around 100 clients, this translates to over 600 hours saved annually, which equates to approximately three months of work time. Imagine being able to reinvest that time into your client relationships, business development, or even personal priorities—without compromising your client service.
And it’s not just advisors who benefit. Your support staff can save substantial time by avoiding repetitive tasks like rescheduling and tracking client communications. This frees them up to assist you with higher-value tasks and improves their overall job satisfaction by reducing tedious, manual tasks.
Tailoring Technology to Your Firm's Unique Needs
Every financial advisory firm operates differently, which is why flexibility and customization is extremely important. You can use it to handle multiple office locations, advisors, or meeting types easily to clients or prospects without adding complexity to your workload.
Here’s how it can work:
- Customizable Event Types and Routing Forms: Define specific event types that match your unique meeting types or service options. This level of customization enables you to manage a variety of scenarios, from new client onboarding meetings to annual reviews, all within one system.
- Intelligent Client Routing: Streamline client scheduling by using routing forms that direct clients to the appropriate advisor or service based on their needs. If you have multiple advisors in your firm, clients can be automatically routed to the right person without manual intervention.
This level of configurability ensures that you’re not just automating generic tasks; you’re tailoring the technology to support the way your team works.
Seamless Integration and Onboarding Support
Implementing new technology may seem like a challenge, especially with an already full schedule. But rest assured, transitioning to GReminders is straightforward, and there’s onboarding help available to ensure you’re up and running smoothly. Integrating seamlessly with your existing technology, including CRMs, calendar apps, and video conferencing tools.
The platform also offers support and resources to help you and your team configure it to your specific needs. Whether it’s setting up custom workflows or personalizing meeting reminders, GReminders makes it easy to incorporate this time-saving technology into your daily operations without the hassle of a steep learning curve.
The flexibility of financial advisor technology also extends to integrations with tools like PreciseFP, an integration allowing GReminders to automate the sending of fact finders and other forms built through PreciseFP to new or existing clients, providing a smooth client experience without additional manual work. By utilizing these integrations, advisors can create a tailored, automated experience that enhances both the client journey and internal operations. USA Financial advisors are also eligible to work with Advisor Digital for onboarding and/or ongoing support with GReminders and other technologies, including PreciseFP.
