Edward Jones

For Megan Bennett

An advisor's day is built around two things: meeting with clients, and the prep and follow-up around those meetings. The prep and follow-up is where the time goes. Automating the routine parts (scheduling, document delivery, review prep) gives Megan more time face-to-face with the clients who matter.

Opportunities for Edward Jones

A few automations you could put in place this quarter. Each one streamlines a workflow that probably runs through someone on your team today.

01

Get every client booked for their annual review

Annual reviews are the cornerstone of a wealth-management relationship. Automating the outreach, scheduling, and pre-meeting agenda delivery means every client gets their review on time without anyone manually hunting for slots.

Time saved A week of admin time across the book
02

Deliver statements and reports proactively

Clients shouldn't have to ask for their statements. A secure portal with automated delivery (and confirmation that they actually opened it) keeps clients informed and creates a digital paper trail.

Time saved Hours a week on routine document requests
03

Catch life events before they pass

Births, marriages, retirements, business sales: these are the moments that change a financial plan. Automated prompts based on client age, life stage, or event triggers ensure the advisor reaches out at the right moment.

Time saved Conversations that would otherwise have been missed
04

Make the introduction ask easy for business owners

Business-owner clients are the best source of new business-owner referrals. An automated, lightweight ask after a positive review meeting, with a one-click way to forward an intro, consistently produces warm referrals without it feeling pushy.

Time saved A few minutes per opportunity that compounds

How Salty Air helps

Automations only stick if someone owns them. Here's how we'd run it together.

  1. 1 30-minute call to talk through where Megan's practice ends up doing the same task twice
  2. 2 Pick the 2 or 3 automations that would buy back the most time on review prep
  3. 3 Build them on top of whatever Edward Jones tools and CRM you use today
  4. 4 Set up a system that lets you take on more business-owner clients without losing the personal touch
