Despite growing leads from new clients, the world’s largest wealth management/financial institution experienced very high churn from its wealthiest clients, in part due to the lack of direct-relationship it had with those clients (whose relationship was owned by independent financial advisors).

RESULTS: Going on it’s 9th year, this community has been credited for driving $66,000,000,000 in assets under management and reducing client churn by over 50%.
