Client Service Model

CFG’s Client Service Model gives advisors in the Financial Planning Mastery Division a structured framework of touchpoints, best practices, and ongoing engagement designed to strengthen client relationships and elevate the overall experience.

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.

  1. Enter Client Name and total AUM 

  2. Enter your estimate for this client’s category in column K 

  3. 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  

  4. 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 

  5. 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.
