How advisory practices call today, and where trust erodes
Wealth management is a promise of attention, delivered mostly by telephone: the scheduled review, the call after a market lurch, the conversation before a maturity, the patient multi-month courtship of a prospect, and the unglamorous chasing of forms that stand between an agreed decision and an executed one.
Practices erode where attention is unevenly delivered. The loud clients get called; the quiet ones compound resentment silently. Market falls trigger ten calls and ninety omissions. Prospect threads lose their own history. None of it shows in performance numbers, and all of it shows in redemptions and un-referred friends.
