Simply having a CRM isn’t enough. In fact, it can be a dangerous illusion, a false sense of security that masks critical weaknesses and leaves your business vulnerable to competitors who are evolving at lightning speed. A database with client names and contact information doesn’t mean you’re effectively managing your data or leveraging its power. Maybe you built some workflows or dashboard. Many RIAs have fallen into the “We have a CRM” trap, thinking they’re covered when, in reality, they’re sitting on a ticking time bomb.
CRM Red Flags.
- Data Overwriting: Are you constantly overwriting old data with new information? This is a major red flag.
- Multiple Systems Required: Do you need to jump between your CRM, spreadsheets, email, and other platforms just to get a complete picture of a client? Data silos are a killer.
- Generate Agreements: Can your CRM connect to DocuSign and generate client agreements?
- Limited Reporting & Analytics: Can your CRM generate insightful reports and dashboards? If you’re struggling to extract meaningful insights, your CRM is failing to deliver on its core purpose.
- Poor User Experience: Is your CRM clunky, difficult to navigate, or slow? If your team hates using it, they won’t. And that means your data will suffer.
- Lack of Retirement Plan Specificity: Are you running your plan business in a CRM designed for Wealth Management?
