Client Profile
Below is the definition of each of the client segments that we follow. Utilize this spreadsheet to define client categories into A, B, C, and D Clients based on the several factors listed in each column.
Enter Client Name and total AUM
Enter your estimate for this client’s category in column K
In the subsequent columns L-S, enter the rating of this client in each category based on the table at the bottom of the spreadsheet using numbers 1-4 that correspond to A-D ratings.
For example: A client with a Net Worth < $500k would get a 2 in column L. The same client with +4 referrals would have a 4 in column R
The client’s actual categorization will reflect in column T, which is based on a grade point average as illustrated at the bottom of the spreadsheet.
A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1
The Client Experience Model for reference is located on tab two of the sheet
*Note the Client Service Model is for A, B, & C Clients. The purpose of identifying D clients is to recognize who falls below C profile definitions to determine an appropriate exit strategy.
