Leads Fall Through the Cracks Without This
Nick Davies breaks down the real reason things fall through the cracks in a financial advisory practice — and it has nothing to do with being lazy or too busy. It comes down to not having a system for follow-up. In this episode, Nick walks through a dead-simple spreadsheet-based follow-up framework built around one critical column: the "next update date." Whether you're a solo advisor juggling prospects yourself or handing off a client list to a junior team member, this system gives you clarity, accountability, and the ability to tell a prospect with confidence exactly when you'll call them back — building the kind of trust that wins business.
